    Forget Hibberd, White and Wagner will be better. Can the club take a chance on a player who has been suspended for a year,he may be stuffed in the head.Prestia we can't afford and is not someone we really need as a priority,considering our quality mids we have and I beleive Salem will end up as a mid.

    They played Frawley & Howe all season too 'Sat'...it's not a one dimensional indicator that the player mustn't be traded.

    Kent is a promising player but you've got to give to get.

    What would you say if Kent was part of a deal to get Hurley or a fit O'Meara.

     

    Not even worth asking, because he forms irrational attachments to all players.

    Personally I don't rate Hurley have an Essendon supporter who thinks the same,  before the disaster he was part of a good defensive unit prefer to develop our own

    Prestia has not been the same since injuries hit perhaps has reached his ceiling   we now have a surfeit of midfielders who can play a role certainly wouldn't offer up Kent

    OMeara    want to see what he is like post injury   at least 10 or 15 games

    off one foot with little time he is pretty good. yes he kicks floaters but so do other elite kicks under pressure. He is the most pivotal player for us when we are transitioning well from half back to half forward. with pace and kicking.

    I've watched him kick multiple floaters on the outside. He's an inconsistent kick at best. Certainly not elite.

    I'm with you on Prestia, I think injury free he's a good player and his pace could be an advantage but we are ok for mids.

    Having said that O'Meara would be a punt but one of those (Burgoyne)  just won the game for the Hawks tonight and is a gun. Will be interesting to see how O'Meara runs out the season but fit he is a star, a real A grader and whilst ok for mids you don't pass on a champ.

    We do need to add to the defensive unit, Hurley at the moment is an option because he's yet to commit. I'm sure we will be looking at all options.

    I'm for developing our own but if a good one comes up we need to get in the game.

    The question is what we have to offer, whether it's a trade or picks. The likes of Dawes, Garland, Grimes, M.Jones, Dunn are worth nix at the trade table and as we're playing with monopoly money here it's worth throwing a few other names around.

    I don't rate Hurley, so not fussed about him.

    Prestia is out for the season and having a knee operation, he's only 23 but I'm not sure if his best is already behind him with his injuries.

    O'Meara might be worth the risk, but I don't think we can afford him at the 700k that the Suns say he's worth?

    Kent's clearly a required player.

    He's also good mates with Hogan, so splitting up the brigade may not be the most sensible thing to do in order to attempt to get a player like Prestia.

    Would be super happy with Hibberd for a second rounder.

    And I'd rather the club target Rohan over Prestia if we're about to make a play for a high profile mid.

    Would definitely add a new dimension to the side. Would a T.Mac - Rohan trade swap be a fair exchange?

    Lose T.Mac and we'd need to trade in a KPB from elsewhere immediately.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
