FoxFooty saying Hawthorn in the box seat if Rory decides to move on. Is there some way to kill off these zombie sides, Hawthorn and Geelong?

    Hawthorn also linked to McGovern.

    Hawks have a never ending salary cap

    Not sure about that.

    Hodge, Lewis and Mitchell all had to be on a fair wicket.

    Yeah they do now but before in their premiership years they seemed to get everyone

    Was under the impression the winner of his signature would need to offer a 5 year contract and had St Kilda in the box seat UNTIL this news about Hawthorn came about.

    Assuming we land Gaff im surprised we would have the cap space to fit Sloane. Plus Sloane has had a horror run with injury.

    We wouldn't go both. Gaff is a reasonable fall back option. But obviously if we had the pick of the two we'd go Sloane. We are at the point in our journey where we are entering the premiership window. You get the best players possible. Sloane is an A grader. Gaff is a B grader. Given a choice its a simple decision for mine.

    Adelaide are too peed off with us for Sloane not to be our way inclined

    If I was a forensic accountant I would be fantasising about auditing Hawthorn. They have been making cap room magically appear for the last decade.

    The problem with free agency is older players are accepting less money to move to a ‘successful’ well resources club.

    That would be solved by lowering the threshold for FAs. Younger players are more likely to move for money and there would be a greater pool of players available each year thereby promoting greater player movement.

    Sloane is a sliding A Grader & Gaff is an improving A Grader. 

    Gaff is younger, healthier and would probably win the Brownlow if it were counted today. 

    To top it off, Gaff is more of what we need  

    I would take Gaff well & truly ahead of Sloane.

    Got to keep upgrading the list every year. 

    If Sloane is available, then we should be on the front foot, if we don’t land him, another club will. 

    Midfielders get injured, they are in the guts and frenzy. 

    Sloane would be great right now as Viney is out for a long time

    Never think static

    I hope we are onto something, with the ranger.

    We have to get this club winning in September.  And save it from itself.  Niceness knows no bounds, and is lovely, outside the theatre of battle.

    It is an imposter, within the forming of an army.

    aah yes. The Northern Stand, I temporarily forgot

    Sloane is massively over rated, but we blew the Wines deal

    Scraps are never great....

    the attitudes swyl.

    the attitudes that have led us to vote for directors we do not know nor come into contact with, Via the recommendations sent out to us in club letters.

    ... usually recommended as well from the mcc,,, all good and harmonious there, but at what cost, swyl.  

     

    You are very negative about anything that shines a dark light on the things that you cherish,  without any consideration from yourself ?

    'the fish rots from the head' I believe I have heard you say many times, yet you still will not tolerate the thought, that something you cherish is actually cancerous.  And killing itself, from the inside.

    - - - - - - - - -

     

    "Sloane overrated",  another meaningless comment from you out of spite,,,  about something you are weak at, judging player talent.

     Sloane is tagged week in, week out, for good reason. swyl.  But don't let the facts hit you in the face with a cold wet fish.

    STOP CRAPPING ON ABOUT THE F$&@ing MCC 

    it is so tiresome. 

    The MCG is the 10th best stadium in the world, they are not dumb people who run it. 

    and you call me light weight???

    Sloane is over rated as is Rance...

    THEY are footy dumb, when it comes to footy clubs.

    They're good at the turnstiles, swyl.   Thats all they are. 

     

    They stuffed up,,, knocking down the Smokers Stand,

    And they took OUR players race, away from the Mfc members/supporters children...  they couldn't run a footy club, if they had all the kings horses and all the kings men.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
