I wanted Papley as well, but he's likely going to Carlton.  Let's see what they pay for him and that might explain why we aren't chasing him.  

Carlton has become more of a destination than us - what an amazing fall given the expectations, respectively, at the start of this year.

I think they just have more cash to throw around given retirements and the fact they have a young list.

Carlton had a older and more experienced team than us on the weekend and have had for most of the year.

Maybe last weekend. But don't forget we had Tom McDonald, Steve May & Neville Jetta all out for the remainder of the year.

Those three would take up a bit of salary space.

Herald sun reporting Dees win race to sign him and he has agreed in principle to a deal.

 

  


No mucking around by Ed if the article is accurate, skipped mad Monday to ramp up talks. Good on him for eagerly wanting to be a Demon. Just get a deal done now.

Nothing speaks more 'Melbourne' than a recruit with a man bun

Nah. Buns are a prerequisite for entry into Revolver.


This is good.

Straight through the PSD and #$^&  Freo.

AFL have done us over by giving GCS a priority pick so it's time to play hard.

HE was pick 54 in his draft year. Out of contract. Third rounder and something fringe the other way. Is that what gets it done? 

No.

Happy to trade TMac for pick 53?

No but I wouldn’t overrate Langdon. Freo supporters can not wait to see the back of him. He can’t hit a target, so will fit right in and we will probably hand over our first round pick for Langdon and their first round. Pick 3 wil go on to be a star and we will bank another middle of the roader and soon find out Langdon is a butcher.

Some talk Brandon Matera may also look elsewhere, showed this year he was a dangerous small forward. i wonder if we could get him as well?

I will actually stop supporting Melbourne if we bring him in. He is the worst.

Having dealt with a few Freo fans, I can confidently say that is not the case.

The kid can play. Turns it over occasional but  gets the ball a lot and gains meters. 

Matches up well with Sidebottom who is  considered by many as an elite outside player.

Langdon is a gun mate. Pick 20 will get it done but Freo will probably attempt to bargain for more

Yeah sure, 

This is a very good get from the club who has been very keen on him for a few years now.  Of course a lot comes down to what we hand over, but he is a high quality player with many of the attributes we lack.

With Cognilio off the market, Langdon becomes one of the better players known to be on the market this off season.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
