    I heard a rumour Jesse has flown to Bali to get his foot amputated, what's a fair trade if this is the case?

    I heard a rumour that the reason there's radio silence from Jesse and his management team, is that they all died in a series of tragic stingray accidents. And we have to give two first rounders and Gus to the Dockers!

    Oh, that would be the most Melbourne thing ever! Can anyone confirm?

    Fun and games...all part of the show 

    Inflationary speculation must be allowed to occur.

    Pass the spliff. You're hogging it by the sounds of it.

    Oh my god. Now I'm really worried. Are we going to be able to field a team next year?

    I wonder if this could all go pear shaped.

    Not as if it's going swimmingly right at this moment

    In my mind it's becoming more clear that Melbourne has pushed for a trade (now), Freo holding the cards, we're nearing the point of no return - when it's publicly stated that Hogan prefers to leave

    At that point, it's take Freo's offer or a 12 month circus

    I could always pretend I have inside intel I suppose but I'd rather have a laugh at this stage, it'll all come out soon enough. Bit of a fizzer this trade period tbh, besides May, we are not even linked with any other players bar KK?

    I was carrying on with the lyrics mate - as apt as they are. :D

    Take 5 years or leave now is what I have been told.

    Player manager telling him to do neither.

    See this is where it depends where you're coming from, or indeed, wishing to go 

    This might be a very clever move by the club.

    I don't suppose many might see where I'm coming from in saying that.

    What a circus this year has brought ;)

    It’s interesting isn’t it. All these rumours of these potential long term issues only come up when freo are trying to negotiate down the trade value. His foot or any other issues didn’t stop us wanting to lock him up long term or freo offering him big $$ to come home or then Getting him to come do a 4 hour tour. I just think the dockers are leaking little rumours to the press to try and knock his trade value down. And I hope the club sees through it. 

    I think some of these rumours may hold some truth but if they were legitimate it wouldn’t have gotten this far. The dockers wouldn’t make the offer without doing due diligence on all aspects of jesses situation

    Not much of a player manager if that is the case. He will have to decide to move this year or next if he doesn't want to re-sign for a long term deal.

    There is no point dragging it out, we will just be here next year doing the same thing again if he doesn't move on this year. WCE may have a better hand next year as well. We will demand the same deal next year as we are now so there is nothing to be gained in waiting it out for Freo or Hogan. In fact Hogan has something to gain by moving as he will get a pay rise. 

    Personally I think whats playing out in the media is a bit of a charade. A deal is probably close to being agreed and they are waiting on the Neale deal to go through for picks to be freed up. Meanwhile Freo will beat their chests demanding more for Neale and drag it out until they get more out of Brisbane. So we wait.

    I know he's a local lad, but be interesting to see how he goes in the fishbowl of Freo, as their great white hope. Used to often run into Pav and others when I lived there (10 years ago now) but then they hadn't shifted to Cockburn. [censored], has Jesse realised he'd have to go to Cockburn every second day?

    Not here. Morning in the Twerp, greatest city in Belgium and where Frenzal Rhomb played a bloody great little gig last night

    This is not a shot at you Patches, as I believe this is probably likely, but what does a club have to gain by talking down a player's trade value publicly?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
