    His Leg injury would be a massive concern as it originaly it was not a clean break laterally. My understanding is that a splinter break up the leg has the potential to keep fracuring along the break line as seems to have happened in this case. Rumours over here have been running strong that the playing group are "off him" a bit and as a group had to stand in to ensure that there votes were heard in the captaincy bid and evnetual Mundy appointment.

    If i was to have a bet - id say he is keen to leave and head to the football state of Victoria. He understands the buisness of football and knows that his window for a premiership at freo is fast dissapearing.

    Ross Lyon doesn't take crap from anybody. It's why he's a great coach but also a potential weakness. 

    Players take after their coaches. So Mundy is the captain as he's the senior player and leader. Fyfe is the superstar with a superstar attitude and wasn't the right choice for captain. Who knows if that's upset him, I doubt it. Plenty of time for him to captain the side later.

    Freo right now are rubbish. Freo next year will likely be far better. But they still need a tactical improvement and a lot more talent. Fyfe, Bennell, Johnson, McCarthy, pick 3, Sandilands (for 1 more year), that's an improvement but to rebuild it's going to take some sustained drafts and trades.

    I'm about 90% sure Freo will improve to at least an 7-10 win team next year and Fyfe will sign on and probably captain them in 2018. The 10% chance is that Fyfe gets injured again or Freo get a lot of injuries or Ross Lyon can't adapt at all and Freo struggle along to 5 or 6 wins and Fyfe says stuff this I'm off to join a contender.

    Don't know if he will come to us but I've heard him talk a few times and he specifically mentions that all the individual success means nothing if you don't win a flag and that is the ultimate to him. If he doesn't think he can win a flag at freo I reckon he will go. 

    That being said, he will probably go to either Hawthorn or Geelong...

    If he's stupid he will. Geelong have an average midfield with two stars in it. Hawthorn will get nowhere unless they start to replace their bookends.

    It sounds a bit like Gary Ablett jnr.  Poor choice for captain.   And Judd, again, not the best choice for captain.

    Clubs need Mitchell, Hodge, or Cam Smith types, to lead them.

    the problem is not what we offer Freo - its what we have to offer Fyfe in terms of dollars and our cap.

    Surely Dawes will free up some cap space

    Definitely…I'd include Barry Dent, Sarah Wolfe & Derek Trotter.

    As much as i would love to have him in our team, the amount of $$$ we would have to pay would put too much pressure on the cap for our own future stars.  No harm in inquiring.

     

    Look at the influence of Dangerfield to Geelong! and I regard Fyfe as a better palyer! And you want to quibble over Cost?? 

    Sheeit offer him what he wants and chase HARD!

    Freo will through everything at him to keep him around. He is way to importain to there future plans to let him walk out.

    I actually think he's done, which is worth nothing as it's not a medical opinion, but to me he is a race horse with a busted leg. Its almost like he is too strong and will never heal well enough to bare all the force he puts on the bone when he plays.

    And which I think is incredibly sad, genuine remorse about it.

    I reckoned he played under significant duress in last years finals campaign. Not just the last game where it was confirmed he played with a broken leg (and starred mind you). I reckon he was hurt earlier than that. After the break this time around I think they would have wrapped in cotton wool as the season mattered for nought. He will be cherry ripe for next year and I for one would salivate at the prospect of a player of his caliber to come to mfc. In saying all that I doubt it will ever happen

    I really can't imagine a WA born and bred kid who's already a superstar of the comp wanting to move across the country.

    It feels like more of a gentle nudge/threat to ensure that he does receive the best possible deal from Freo going forward and for him not to be taken advantage of financially for being loyal. 

    Surprised when I read he was a massive tiges fan growing up who hated the dockers and didn't want to go there when he was drafted. Still, can't see him ever leaving there now. He's a local superstar

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
