Nat Fyfe

Engorged Onion
in Melbourne Demons

Panic stations from Fremantle Football Club Media via their twitter feed - just to quell the sick taste in their mouth that is bubbling.

"Fyfe: I see my future at Freo and have said I'd always wait until a particular time to discuss contracts, wins and losses won't impact that"

 

In all seriousness, I don't know that he suits our organisation... and we certainly shouldn't sell the farm...

    Why panic stations?  He hasn't said anything controversial.

    And no, I don't think we need to be chasing Fyfe.  Like others I believe another key back would do us the world of good, and Fyfe wouldn't come cheap.

    Fan's are fickle - He hasn't said anything controversial at all, its not about him - its about the media departments response in what they curate (naturally accentuating the positives).  It then got me thinking about whether MFC would even want his calibre...

    fully agree. Absolutely worth every cent for whoever gets him. Hope its us.

    I think that's the catch. Whoever gets Fyfe, Martin or even Kelly from GWS as reported today, will have to sell the farm and then some.

    I'm not informed on our salary cap position but there are some young players  on our list who are going to be demanding some big coin in their own right in the next few years.  

    Fyfe is amazing when fit, but I feel our needs lie elsewhere considering what it would cost to get him.

    Forget Fyfe i think a bigger target for us would be Steven May.

    Saints and Norf seem like two of the most desperate clubs out there at the minute.  They are throwing cash at anyone who will listen.  It's a little pathetic, really.

    Chris Scott is like Ross Lyon. Has no idea how to rebuild a list and instead tries to quick fix the issue through recruiting plodders.

    I read somewhere that its potentially going to cost North two 1st rounders for Josh Kelly. In their position i see that as a HUGE risk.

    Is Josh Kelly even the type of player they need?  Or is he the sort who sort of transcends that?  Two first rounders is a huge amount for a club that doesn't have a whole lot of decent kids coming through.  If I were them I'd be after a key forward as Waite is almost done and Brown is almost doing it down there on his own.  The fact that they are, supposedly, offering Kelly a 9 year contract shows how pathetic and desperate they really are.

    They won't let him into Victoria with it.

  • Quote

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but he'd be a restricted free agent, yes?

    Which means that for Melbourne to get him, we'd need to offer a better contract than what would be offered by a bottoming out, desperate for good news, lost all their best stars, clinging to credibility, club with huge salary cap space to work with.

    Or we could trade our next three year's worth of draft picks, if he was, mysteriously, urgently wanting to come across for less money than Freo would offer him.

     

    Can't see it happening for us, though no denying Fyfe is an extraordinary weapon.

    Did a wikipedia search on some backmen and their gettability. Rampe from NSW, pass. Talia from Kilmore/EFC, pass. J. McGovern? WA, pass. Alir Alir from Brisbane, pass. Phil Davis from Canberra, pass. Rance, pass.

    Steven May, Melbourne Grammar. Ahh. A toff in a blazer! Perfect target! :P

    Yep steven may is a good one to go for, but I still like Lever. Anyway, I would love to get Josh Kelly from GWS. That would be an absolute find, the kind of mid I think would do us a world of good. We should throw a good offer on the line. btw, is he still contracted st the end of the season?

    Hawthorn are very keen on Steven May. Would be a great get if he's not already committed there.

  • Quote

    Our specific need is a quality defender or a silky skilled/quick outside player. But any team would be mental not to chase Fyfe. Once-in-a-decade footballer. Probably won't get him but conversations with his manager must be had.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
