Not against the idea of Jong.

One of he, Hartlett, Motlop, Wells, Harvey or Dal Santo would be beneficial to the outside of our midfield.

I'm not as fond of Barlow though. Think we have enough one paced inside mids.

Looks like the one we may get, is the one you don't want.

    Collingwood are no longer interested in him. 

    Western Bulldog Lin Jong weighing up offer from Gold Coast Suns as Collingwood withdraws

    Beveridge has shown he can make the tough gutsy calls: suspended Boyd and Cordy, dropped Stringer. 

    We will never know if Lin Jong showing his intentions cost him his spot in the GF.  But if the decision was 50/50, even 60/40 in his favour, between him and a player who was loyal and committed to and trusted by his mates and the team (which is what they thrive on) that Beveridge would back the loyal player.  I would say Lin Jong has paid a high price for venturing into enemy territory during the year and showing his hand early.

    Moral of the story: don't trust Collingwood.

    He is an upgrade over Newton Michie etc... but surely not our highest priority. His best is very quick, very strong and very good.

    If the price were right why not.  A very good player.

    Would say his questionable broken collar bone may have cost him a spot rather than old age loyalty adage. :rolleyes:

    I wonder what his trade value is like at the moment?  Collingwood pulling out means it is a two horse race between staying at doggies or joining GCS.

    He is a handy player.

    Why just a two horse race?  Do you actually know that our guys aren't at least talking with him?  Or other clubs?

    Just commenting on who is interested based on the media. You would think others are talking, but only two have confirmed interest publicly.

    Out of contract end of the year and has apparently been touring Collingwoods facilities. I would love for us to have a crack as he could be a good pickup if we could get him cheap. 

    23 and just coming into his prime. Being on the scuff of the Bulldogs midfield is an effort in itself. 

    Collingwood would probably swap him for Cloke.

    We have nothing to offer trade wise

    We could package up our DFA's and throw in Michie as steak knives.

    I would like to pick up Jong simply because every time we play against them at any level he always dominates, better to have him on our side hahaha

    Even if playing hardball backfires, we have Melksham, Lamumba, Salem & Hunt backed up. We can offer them a third round and/or player and threaten them with the grievance tribunal route. From hearing their fans, they were only too happy to do the same type of thing to Gold Coast with O'Meara and the preseason draft.

    Any haggler knows that you walk away from a bad offer and let them chase you down with your price or you keep walking

    "Dodoro on Hibberd: Melbourne's second round pick is a pretty fair deal we think"

    The past 3 years we have just got the job done without arsing around. Get Hibberd first then see what we can do.

    That should be that, but you never know.

    Surely he can't say that and then ask Melbourne for more in trade week, deal should be done 5 minutes into trade week

    The grievance tribunal is no longer an option given Hibberd said he would go back to Essendon happily if a deal couldn't be made.

    Getting a fair deal done early is the way to go. It saves everyone a lot of time by skipping the negotiating part and landing at agreement very early, it stops emotion from playing any role, and it builds confidence between parties for future deals.  IMO it would be a total disaster if the two clubs starting huffing and folding their arms and stomping their feet like the Essendon/St Kilda negotiation last year.  It makes it take forever and prevents us (and Essendon) from getting *any* other deals done.

    By those comments from Dodoro, it sounds like getting it done early and reasonably is the preferred option.  And@Redleghas been saying for ages that this deal has already been agreed to.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
