I was wondering for a second why I would type that!

    If it's going to take an inconsistent, one way running type to assist us to get into the finals next season, it's a yes.

    We need some outside class and pace and Motlop provides that.

    It sounds like he has had osteitis pubis which has held him back this year, but then having a couple of weeks off have done him wonders. His last two finals were excellent.

    I would chase him pretty hard.

    I would like him red and blue too. Have we been linked with him or is this wishful thinking?

    Wishful thinking at the moment. But surely our coaches can see our need for an outside runner in the midfield.

    I wasn't a fan of Motlop but his last 2 finals have been fantastic.  I have also heard he has great character.

    Really?   Dangerfield on Motlop's two way running.

    Probably would have made the finals if we had him this season.

    How many games were we hurt by our lack of outside pace and skill?

    Too many but i dont see Motlop as the answer to that problem.

    A source here in Geelong tells me that he has rejected a recent one year offer from the Cats, apparently wants more. Has been offered a better offer from an unknown club. Source believes it's from either Port, Demons or another unnamed Melbourne club. Source previously said that living in Adelaide was preferable to living in Melbourne.

    That was never going to happen as we'd have to trade a second round pick, which means we wouldnt have got Hibberd and means we wouldn't have gone anywhere near the finals. But that's kind of off topic, as the opportunity has arisen to add him as FA, i think he will definitely help push us into the finals if he keeps up his Daniel Wells style of easing past opponents and hitting players in space .

    You obviously haven't heard about a little sweetener called "steak" and "knives." 

    In fairness, I've heard the term "steak knives" in this context. Not so much "steak and knives".

    Looks like he will be staying at the Cats! 2nd round for me!

    That post was from last season. He's a FA now.

    Port in the box seat. Word on the street is port will be aggressive at the trade table given they think their list is nearly ready to compete for a flag.

    Watts and Motlop in would make them very hard to beat.

    Hard to beat? If those two are on the field they just lost a heap of tackles per game. If you spoke to most Melbourne and Geelong supporters they would say Watts and Motlop would make it very hard to win

    Did they even end up beating a top 8 team this year? 

    The had a incredibly soft draw. They will be one of the teams competing for the last few top 8 spots at best... they will not rise

    Soft draw, no injuries, couldn't even win a home final, you must be joking.

    It seems that despite his good skills, we are offloading Jack Watts because of his supposed poor training habits, unwillingness to defend hard and the influence that this has on on the team culture. Replacing him with another highly skilled and lazy player (Motlop), would be incredibly stupid. Motlop's last two games have been two of his best. Don't expect that to be the norm.

    2 of the most inconsistent, unreliable players in the AFL

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
