I would never delist Bugg - he's exactly what we need.ย And I'd never trade Watts. Vince is still very handy.ย

How do we need a spud that's only a thug? Watts has run out chances he must be put on the table. Vince should retire.

    One last time. Watts. Is. Contracted.

    Trade can only happen if he wants it to happen. So he 'cant be put on the table'.

    The only leverage the club has is threatening to play him in the vfl. This mightย work with say spencer who is likely to play vfl anyway and might want more opportunity. But with a player of watts' talent it is a bit cutting off your nose to spite your faceish.

    A player on the other hand - if contracted and wanting out - can threaten not to try. Which no club wants.ย

    Papers stamped.

    Liam Hulett:ย He had four disposals, four tackles and two inside 50s. Liam didnโ€™t have any impact on the game and went missing for long periods. He didnโ€™t give us a real threat forward of the ball, so it was a disappointing performance from Liam.

    I think they were stamped long before this game. ย They even tried him down back and that didn't work either.

    Moonie, coming from Man sfield ย my 1stย choice for a name on DLand was DeeMan obviously, ย unfortunately it was taken. So without really thinking I tried ManDee, it was available so that will do. Now I have Barry Manilow nightmares, yes more than before. Thanks for reminding me. At least "I came and I gave without taking"

    PS: I will not kiss you and stop you from shaking.

    You can trade a player that's under contract as long as it's not the first year of his contract like JKH, Stretch and Frost can't be traded.

    If all parties agree, surely a trade can happen in first year of contract, otherwise it'sย restraint of trade, eg.Boyd to WBย

    After today, Trengove and Spencer are gone. Spencer showed nothing. Rather persist with King and bring in Meese as Gawns backup.ย 

    king did nothing either, looks like Pederson will continue to be our second Rickman for a few more yearsย

    If he had to play 20 games next season then I'd agree. ย But if he ends up just being a handy depth player, filling a few gaps throughout the season when needed, then we might be able to squeeze an extra year out of him. ย He hasn't played as much footy to this point as others have, so he has a little more mileage left in the legs.

    Pedo will play most games next year if fit, especially if Spencil leaves. Weid will need to come on suddenly for Pedo to be usurped. Still, stranger things have happened.ย

    If we get Lever that should allow T.McDonald to go forward we probably won't need Pedersen.

    Pretty harsh comment on Pedo.ย 

    Heย has a had a great year! Showed alot of ticker! He gives a consistent contest and holds his own. Would be a coaches favourite. He is only 30 and durable. Great work ethic andย versatile!

    Pedo is my first picked at the selection table. You know what you are going to get from him.

    Just like Daniel Ward and Nathan 'Doggy' Brownย when they were playing...

    Watching todays game I was impressed with Stretch's game. He has developed his inside game well over the second half of the year at VFL level. He can still make it. JKH and Spencer were woeful unfortunately. I will be surprised if JKH gets another senior game. Magner has had a good year too and if he keeps developing as he should will get his chance next year. Bugg can still offer something but will probably only ever be about top 26, not top 22. Still you need a top 33 to have genuine depth.

    I was surprised by Richmonds depth. It's always hard to beat a VFL side that is still alive in the AFL as all the seconds players still hold hope to get a game in the seniors.

    They had Conca, Lloyd, Griffiths, Miles and a couple of others. That Morris is a dog. His only skill is smashing into blokes trying to injure them. Sheedy would recall him to his Grand Final side just to go head-hunting.

    Maybe, but unless I'm mistaken, he's signed for another year.

    If you look back you'll see that I've been a big fan of Pedo on here. Got into many a stoush with stuieย defending the big fella.ย 

    Cam will be 31 when the 2018 season starts. I'd love him to play for 5 more years, but I don't think longevity is his bag. That was my point.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamโ€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneโ€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.ย There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.ย Since that game, the Demonsโ€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyโ€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the โ€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayโ€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0โ€“4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
