Reading between the lines.

Interest in Howe from others (multiple) I think gone.

No interest in Watts

Active in chasing Freeman and Bugg

Very active in chasing everyone, but every club is

Toump all but gone, he wants out but club see potential and would keep him

Garland to be announced as staying in coming days.

I think you mean Kennedy.

Chris, just to clarify, do you mean Howe is gone or the interest in him from others has disappeared?

Lots of interest and Howe gone (although he did say he may still stay)

Yep, whoops.
 

Petracca- Will be right to go by round 1. The way the question was asked it was implied that he may not. However he said Christian will be ready.

Still hopeful on Prestia but the club has resigned themselves to leave it for this year.


Really glad to hear the club still has faith in Jimmy.

He may have a better chance of being a part of our developing midfield than try to break into an 'established' group at Port.

Dion Prestia- Have interest in him. makes it difficult as he is contracted. Probably sit on it the moment and wait till next year (uncontracted)

Dions family are Melbourne supporters

 

Second part of the interview

Josh on coaching:

Want the Roos/Goodwin transition to be seamless

Wants Goodwin to take more charge at training

No future role for Roos

Club is at where they expected, in regards to on field

Finals next year is the plan

Club is 'in the picture' more so in regards to trading players to the club

Players that they trade/recruit need to be 'competitors'

Petracca will be ready to go round one

Prestia: Fact that he is contracted means that it would be difficult to get him this year. However, the door is not closed. Family has been a part of coterie so there is a link to the club.

Bennell: Dees not interested. 'Put a line through his name'

Bennell not coming to the dees, has been ruled out.


I like Mahoney, seems a straight talker.

could be just a really good evader...


Thanks guys. Melksham Kennedy and Bugg don't fill me with confidence though. Looks like we are just going for fringe players from opposing teams and not being to aggresive this year

Chris did mean Kennedy, I didn't think Freeman was named... just checking.

Thrilled about Garland

Totally underwhelmed by the rest

A typical one-eyed supporters response.

'Thrilled' at the thought of keeping an underachieving and terribly inconsistent senior player and 'underwhelmed' at potentially picking up three players who will without doubt help the depth of the list and are upgrades on those who have been delisted, thus improving our side overall.

Really pushing the foresight boundaries there.

If Carlton get first rounders (as they are asking) for Henderson and Yarran, then some supporters here should raise their asking value for the likes of Howe and a couple of others.

its carltons arrogance, they always overvalue their own, & look down their nostrils at others until they wear navy blue.

its the same neurosis that caused them to get into their own culture quagmire. they've become inbred.

We're targeting A-graders too, but due to our list profile, i.e. talented youth, we have to be careful not to overpay. We're also not presently a destination club, although managers have more interest in talking to us than 2 years ago.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
