Is it just me or does Tim Gossage need punch to the nose?

    Don't be surprised if Andrew Brayshaw comes into serious discussions. 

    What why gives nothing! If we trade and he is part of the equation MFC have taken eye of ball and still play Cinderella! A big NO from me!

    Never easy fearing an absolute gun forward leaving the club while contracted, especially that the premiership window seems to be opened wide. But the footage is the sealer - we plan for a post-Hogan tilt at the flag.

    Sorry to see him go. Loved his footy, but his personal griefs might be weighing a bit too heavy. I for one am proud that our club is treating him as a human being before treating him like a product.

    Weird to see that footage and make all this stuff sprouted become a reality. I knew it was happening, but seeing that and having that moment was strange!

    It's like seeing an ex with their new lover in public. 

    I feel dirty. 

    And I want to cry.

    If we get Brayshaw and first rounder, do we still trade the first rounder for May and opt out of the first round for the 4th year running?

    Considering Andrew came from last years draft, then i'd say yes.

    Not at all.  This is much, much different to that.

    I get the feeling that there is a lot in play for the club this trade/draft season.

    We must have had some pretty solid commitments from players or clubs that they will trade with us if we have opened up so many spaces on our list and are willing to look at possible trades for Hogan, Tyson, Kent and VDB. After all, we do not have any early picks in the draft at present.

    I do not see much in the way of free agents looking at us.

    I think totally different scenario.  1 left after 2 years for money.  Whilst I think Jess will get well paid, he has given 6 years and wants to go home.

    You can’t seriously compare Jesse Hogan to Tom Scully ...

    So would I, Dub, but the point I'm trying to make is that it's not the end of the world in terms of our depth if he chooses to leave.  I'd much, much, MUCH, rather he stay, but we're covered in case a McDonald or Weideman goes down with our ability to swing someone forward (Frost), potentially play a resting ruck there more (Preuss/Gawn) or go through some of our mid sized forwards (Melksham, Petracca, Fritsch, Hannan).

    Sounds to me like you're assessing Jesse's value to the team and weighing up whether or not we might improve the list if he was traded

    Now that he's actually touring Freo's facilities?  Yes, I am.

    Let it go, my friend.  Let it go.

    ...Is it just me, or does this scenario seem perfectly set up for:

    [Jesse Hogan is about to sign at the Dockers, he looks up, and a montage plays in his mind]

    [Jesse smiles as he reminisces about the good times at the Dees]

    [Jesse looks to the East...]

    [Cue music, maybe some cliché 80s love song, or Al Green 'Let's Stay Together', for example]

    [Jesse gets in his car, and drives cross country through the night, top down, hand tapping on the door]

    [He arrives in Melbourne, parks the car hurriedly across a few parking spaces, runs across Gosch's Paddock]

    [Jesse runs towards Goody and the boys, who are also running towards him]

    Jesse (in tears): this ..... this is the most beautiful day of my football career!

    Goodwin: I know mate! Tell me about it. We got 5 and 6 AND Gus's brother, AND Freo have to pay US half your salary!

    Jesse: w ....... what???

    Goodwin: Now f**k off back to to purple freak land, the rest of us are going down the pub to celebrate.

    Other players: yeah, f**k off Docker! P*ss off turncoat! etc etc

    [Jesse drives back across the Nullabor playing Taylor Swift songs all the way]

    Firstly, we don't know who will end up having the better career when it comes to Angus and Petracca and secondly no conclusions could be drawn between Andrew and Cerra even if we could.

    It's an irrelevant observation with no answer.

    Never said Angus will have a better career than Petracca.   He has gone past him,  however.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
