I think Fifty-5 was having a laugh MD.

Why would Longer leave a team where he's 2nd in line behind one of the best half dozen rucks in the comp to a team where he'll be 2nd in line behind the best in the comp.

And for the record, Longer can't play forward.

Who says he can't play forward, he's just young & putting on weight.  A good mark, great leap, & is mobile.  He can learn.   He is behind some senior rucks there, he would be number 2 with us.

Because he's shown zero ability to do so at either AFL or VFL level so far.

He spent periods of time forward in the Casey v Sandringham game at Casey Fields this year with zero impact. Ask any Saints fan what they think of his forward craft.

Longer as a forward is what Dawes is as a ruck.

I think he'd be more valuable to us than the pick we'd get for him

I agree. He was far from our worst yesterday, particularly considering how often the ball went down there. Not currently the flavour of the month which is more of the problem than his actual form.

"Im sick of running in the preseason"..... well, that will guarantee his exit.  If he wants to prolong his career he will have to run, run and run some more in the preseason.  

Apart from Demonland, I wonder who are the 'haters'??

Strong words from Dunn: 'Lynden Dunn has vowed to "prove the haters wrong" and play on at AFL level for another three or four years...'

Tbh I haven't ween much in the media that would make him think there are a lot of 'haters' out there.  I doubt he reads demonland so does he mean people at the club?

Not good form really.

 

 

 

Well, I say good on him for wanting to prove whoever hes got a gripe with wrong. Think he is in a similar position to Brian Lake at the Bulldogs. He is a keep for mine unless he is part of a good deal.

Its one thing wanting to prove people wrong its another advertising it to the world - doubt that would impress other suitors. 

As for getting a good deal for him - that interview just sent his value down, down, down: bit of a backhander to mfc; he doesn't like preseason running (explains why he has been overweight all year); shanked 8 'barrells' yesterday (even if he hit them sweetly, were they in the game plan or was he just being selfish and lazy)...

With that attitude he hardly provides on or off field leadership to our young players.  We will do well to get a 3rd round pick - worth it to get a list spot and salary cap space from his departure.

Good comparison. There'll be plenty of interest for him. 

  • 3 weeks later...

Given he's contracted we could maybe wait till the trade is finalized.


He'll be good for the Pies, but we have to continue to find someone better going with Frost and Oscar. Saving some coin not a bad idea either.

Would love it to be for pick 47 but will probably be for 65 and 83 or something like that

Random fact: he was the first player who decided to sign a new contract with the Dee's when he could have left as a FA

If we can get 47, trade 29, 57, 68 and 47 to GWS for pick 15 (more points)

47 for Dunn and 57 would be our best outcome I think

But agree more likely 65 or even 83.

Brisbane have nothing between 22 and 78 to offer for Frost.  We might end up with that 78.


If we could get a deal like that, imagine the outrage for Hawks fans when they see Dunn has more value than Lewis

Thanks Dunny.

 

Still remember that booming kick outside 50 that you kicked against the swannies all those years ago.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
