I think will have done well with the Tyson/Salem deal but a bit more time on the ground for Salem and we will see.

I also think last year was a masterstroke bringing in Oliver and Weed....but time will tell.

Yep I like that deal. Although it still cost us a nice 2nd rounder to get the 2 firsts in.

Because as they've repeatedly said they want a player not draft picks....

They could get a player with all those picks. I get that too many picks takes away your leverage but I'd rather be holding the full hand and deal them out than let the Saints take a heavy fee for their service.

Didn't the Frost deal also include the pics that git us ANB, and O Mac? 

ANB is bog ordinary and Oscar is a squib (with potential). You can get guys like that as rookies. It cost us a 2nd round pick that could've been Toby McLean, Lukas Webb, Maynard, Dan Howe or Connor Blakely.

But it's not really about that. It's about getting the best possible deal.

I hate to sound like Donald Trump but I want to win!

On a negative ish note i've heard there has been some interest in Aaron VandenBerg

Not negative at all. Limited player. Would be happy to keep, but if he nets us a 2nd or 3rd rounder, I'd take it.

Interestingly one of the teams i've heard is keen is the Bombers so perhaps there is more to play out there regarding Hibberd.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
