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

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
