The "Bell" factor is actually quite interesting. It will change things a bit. How ? who knows ,only he will bring a different agenda most likely to his clubs's table.

    Christ some of you people are insufferable.

    I merely wanted to give an indication that things are actually moving along, that this isn’t all just media speculation, meetings are happening and serious decisions are being made - i.e. this isn’t the Chris Judd saga where our name is thrown in there to add more interest, or one adventurous journo joined the dots based on little evidence, then the rest jumped onto a rumour to fill column inches.

    But I’m not going to spill all the beans. You’ll find out when you find out. 

    Chris Judd was very keen to join the Demons until his second meeting with the footy department took place in a small portable.

    Incorrect he had committed to Carlton nearly a year earlier.

    He used us and a couple of other clubs to pretend he hadn't decided where he was going. That way it didn't look as much like he was poached by Carlton and would keep the price down and make negotiations a bit less volatile.

    That's right except that it was a year. They committed to each other in July of that year and everything else about Judd picking four clubs for interview, to be narrowed down to two and then one and even his grandmother's views on the subject were fake news.

    Someone sold me a fugazzi.

    Either way, he did have a meeting that took place in a portable with us and wasn’t impressed.

    It’s ok, meetings with potential players now take place in a McCafe.

    Where is that coming from?

    TBH I would accept it if we got good picks and players we want and they have both.

    They could replace Lynch with a ready made potential champion and we could maybe persuade Tyson to go there as well to make the deal even more attractive for them. They will have picks 2 and 3. We are into May and KK. 

    If JH is happy to go to GC then we know something else is behind the move. 

    Also I think GC would get AFL help to get JH and he could get more money there than in Freo. He could become a very rich boy indeed and we could do a super trade.

    That's because the coffee is better at McCafe.

    The point about GC is, that's what the promise might be if this doesn't work for all...

    Which would suggest he is completely disgruntled and doesn't care where he goes (ie: its not the go home factor)

    or its only about coin....

    that doesn't feel accurate at all....

    What could he be disgruntled over? All reports say he is happy at MFC

    well, that's my point.?

    I'm totally cool on the go home factor, be it Hogan, be it VDB, whomever - it makes sense...it's disappointing if things transpire that way for whomever for the club, for supporters, and I still get it... 

    But to do a Mitch Clarke...well, it just feels deceitful. 

    (or a mal michael)....

    The fact that the deal between Carlton and Judd was as good as done by the middle of that season is also the explanation given for the Blues’ dramatic fall from grace and them losing the last 11 games in a row including the famous “Kreuzer Cup” game in Round 22. It really should have been called the “Kreuzer-Judd” Cup because it secured both players for them. 

    Ironically, more than a decade later, Dennis Pagan who was coach of Carlton on Kreuzer Cup day will today be presenting the Jock McHale Medal to the premiership-winning coach and one of the players in the winning team could well be Josh Kennedy, the young key forward who the Blues gave away as part of the deal to get the Judd trade done.

    Worth thinking about if we do end up trading our own key forward in Jesse Hogan.

    • 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.
