Agreed - but only if that increases our chances of winning a flag.

Jack clearly has one or two traits that tip him toward the marginal deficit side of value in Goodwin's eyes. And since the St Kilda game, we have learned that Max has one or two elements to his rucking that bring him back to the pack in the league.

My suggestion here allows for all recruitment and list scenarios, some of which may exclude Jack and/or Max, and may increase the chances of us nabbing a flag: I want to win a flag AND keep max and jack

At the end of the day; a flag is our objective and that is all that matters.

If they trade Max we better be getting one hell of a deal. And I dont mean Lever.

I think if we trade Max it's only because we know their (the AFL in all their wisdom) not only going to do away with the bounce but also get rid of throwing the ball up altogether. At the start of every quarter the ball will be placed in the middle of the center square and both teams will nominate 4 players who have to sprint in to pick the ball up off the ground, they'll also implement the last touch out of bounds rule. At stoppages the umpires will be very quick to call holding the ball, and if they can't decide, each team can nominate 1 player each and they'll arm wrestle to determine who gets the ball. 

Please create a weird trade fantasy page if you want to talk about trading Max, because even putting it in the rumour file is a massive stretch. (not having a go at you DSP, not sure who started this carp)

There isn't much point worrying about Hogan leaving. 1. If he did we would get a good deal. 2. If he wanted to leave he'd be no use to us anyway. 3. If he wants to stay he is obviously committed and wants to play.

Hogan isn't the type of player to play for us if he doesn't want to. So there is no point even worrying.

I am more interested in what the go is with the Jack Watts and Christian Salem rumors, and if there is anything to them. There has been talk on here, and in the media about Watts and Salem being up for trade.

Honestly, this thread is showing too many people have more time on their hands than brains.

At this time of the year, it's all trying to stir the possum to get attention. It's like a ritual.

And everybody remembers the one in ten they might fluke right, while nobody remembers the many stupid guesses they got wrong.

I don't guess thanks, i make up:laugh::lol:

I'd consider it pretty disrespectful to Jesse and the MFC if there's any truth about the WA clubs asking the question regards Hogan again - particularly after the year he's had. 

What a way to put further weight on his emotions.

Barrett probably got his intel from Brad Hardie if the muppet didn't make it up himself.

I have heard Griffen might be a chance of joining us 

Another move that would make little sense to me.  We have no need of a bloke who is at the tail end of his career and injured all the time.

Not to mention that Griffen (assuming it's Ryan)  wouldn't want anything to do with the guy who coached the Dogs at the time he left them for GWS.

His natural progression is from GWS NEAFL to Carlton.

I'd imagine that he's on big coin and GWS are trying to offload him for next to nothing. I'd still pass.

Hang on a sec. Which Griffen? Freo's or GWS's?

Not that it makes much difference

As if Griffin would join the club his former coach Mcartney is at, don't they hate each other?

    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

    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
