It would be awesome to get Tayla back at the Dees.  I suspect Brisbane would want one of our forwards and possibly a pick in trade which could hurt, but she has so much upside and if we could sign her to a nice long contract it would be gold.

    Demons make their move on Tayla Harris: 

    "Melbourne look to have emerged as a serious player for Tayla Harris' services after the Brisbane Lions turned down Carlton's offer for the marquee forward".

    What a great get if it happens.  Makings of a formidable forward line with Mifsud et al!  Hopefully, we can get it done for a pick rather than one of our budding or star players.

    Would be a huge get. How would it work LH ? We already have 2 Marquee players, would we be able to afford her under the cap ?

    I'm not sure DN9.  Not sure how many, if any 'marquee' players will be allowed for each club. 

    Last year the salary for each class of player was fixed and I think it will be again this year.  The structure and figures have not been announced yet by the AFL. 

    We did try and get Tayla as a marquee player last time round but she decided to play in Queensland.

    Clubs are allowed to offer work and/or marketing opportunities to players so that could be an opportunity.  Certainly having Tayla on board would be a great high profile duo with Daisy from a Marketing view.

    Thanks LH, hope we get her, she took the most contested marks this season and i was surprised to see she's only 20 years old. Would happily do what Carlton did last week and trade our first 3 picks to the Lions for Harris.

    Got to be a player, picks mean nothing to Brisbane because they have exclusive rights to QLD and can pick player that nominate QLD.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
