    WCE had plenty of opportunity to draft Kelly. He was playing under their noses for years. He may have had a break out year prior to being drafted but even then the Cats took him with a pick in the 20s. 

    I am with the Cats on this one. Do you're 2 years son, then we'll get you home. 

    Irrespective, Scott is still a [censored]....

    If he has another good year that won't help much if he insists on going to WCE because try as they might they won't have the picks to offer.  It's hard to see how they can offer much more next year than they did this year. 

    Freo might have a new coach which could change his tune on going there and the Eagles could put a first and a future first on the table which is the going rate for a gun player. That might be much better than 19 and 20 or whatever it was this year.

    How do you think Hogan would have played next year if Melbourne blocked his return “home”?

    Hogan clearly wanted to go “home”.

    This massively lowers his value to MFC and his trade value.

    We did well to get what we did.

     

    If Hogan was a Free Agent this year, what type compensation would we be looking at?

    Will we look to package up a future 2nd round pick and this year's 3rd round round pick to get a pick in the 20s maybe low 30s

    Some interesting delisted players out there. I don't mind the idea of having Weller on a one year deal as depth.

    Hugh Goddard interests me. Doesn't really fill a direct need but was had a hard run with injuries. A one year deal to see if he can get his body right would be worth it. He is an endurance player that could still develop.

    Delisted players I have the absolute smallest of interest in:

    Cory Gregson - has the talent but terrible injury run
    Jed Lamb - would be his 4th team, he's mostly crap but maybe he's the latest of late maturers? There's something about him that could work in a good team, not sure if I'm crazy or not
    Darren meatball Michington - pressure forward type who has a crack
    Declan Mountford - tagger who's got just a little class and toe
    Jon O'Rourke - not sure he's hearts in it but his athleticism is still there
    Nathan Mullenger-McHugh - great name! Also he's super raw and athletic

    Mav "strabismus" Weller - love him!

    Great photo potential.

    Interesting that Beams took most of the money in his front loaded contract with Brisbane and then suddenly wants out. No wonder they were so pizzed off and wanted 2 x first rounders in return 

    I wonder if Hogan's contract with us was back loaded. If so, we might be saving a pretty penny in our SC next year

    Delisted free agents are all pretty slim pickings. Agree Mav Weller is the only one that I’d call right now. One year deal.

    Physically ready. Tough. No backwards steps. Fits Harmes mould. Good depth. Protects new young draftees at Casey.

    Mav Weller at the Dees would do no good for his confidence. Imagine every time the captain, Jack Viney, walks into the locker room and sees him, he'll break out in fits of laughter, probably even throw in his Fortnite dance for good measure.

    Either way, if we do get Weller, we know his nickname. 'The Fend'

  • Quote

    Weller and Viney are close childhood friends.

    But we don't need him.

    Not really any decent delisted free agents this year. Best of the lot is our very own Bugg who would surely be playing in a number of other teams. He’d legitimately be in the top 10 players at Carlton and Gold Coast.

    Weller grew up in Burnie, Tasmania.  Hard to believe he even knew who Jack Viney was.

    I heard Viney say it on one of those gameday footy shows when they replayed his tackle on him.

    I have no reason to doubt him, but by all means you're welcome to try and prove it wrong.

    Mitch Honeychurch remains unsigned. He is mostly an outside midfielder and played 13 games in 2018.

    Is he worthy of  DFA spot?

    Not that much I'd think if him taking unders money wise is really true.

    I think it's possible we could have got more for him next year.  He wouldn't have had this foot injury thing hanging over him potententually devaluing him, could have had a huge year and kicked 60+ goals.  My view is if things had fallen trade wise and he stayed he could have been pretty motivated by finals and sucess, assuming we continued on our upward trend.  There may also have been more competition from West Coast for his services if he was really still determined to get back.  In a lot of ways, it was possibly not such a good time to trade him.

    ...but it's all water under the bridge now, so no use crying over spilt milk.

    My biggest beef out of the trade period would have to be bloody Richmond picking up Lynch for nothing trade/draft position wise.  Would have loved it if we could have picked up May for nothing like they did.  Still bird in the hand is better than two in the bush I guess.

    Maybe they were pen pals.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. 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. Since that game, the Demons’ 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 they’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 ‘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. Sunday’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 0–4 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.
