I’m quite certain Tom Morris was doing the club podcast until he was booted. He’s from Fox Footy, dresses like a trust fund baby and doesn’t shave.

Tom Browne is the lump of wood from Channel 7 who has the presentation warmth of Professor Snape. Not sure if Browne supports Melbourne.

Tom Morris it was - http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2018-03-15/inside-melbourne-episode-1

Upon further Googling, Morris ran St Kilda's social channels in 2015. He now works for Croc Media and Fox Footy.

 

There's a propensity on here (and elsewhere) to denigrate every journo who utters something that supporters don't like.

It's very childish.

And even the most clueless journo knows more than just about every individual who posts here.

Saw him today down at Junction Oval at the JLT one day final.

 Don't know sue but there is something missing in the story.

The MFC seems too methodical and calm from day 1. Almost like they started the trade for reason  of their own.

But surely the bold bit above is entirely consistent with what I postulated. I don't see how your next sentence follows from that.   The story I postulated seems to be complete and self-consistent to me.  So I won't defer to your nose smelling something fishy for the moment.   Let's see what happens.....

Guys lets just accept we're about to get fleeced by both Freo and Gold Coast...

Just shows how far Browne has been shut out by demon insiders.  He now relies on other media outlets or guesses.

Is a demon supporter and early this year he was doing the club podcast, then kept leaking stuff which is pretty low.  Got the boot from the podcast.

Clearly is now a persona non gratia! 

Wasn’t that Tom Morris?

Hi end Cheeseboard perfect for both hard and soft cheeses!

I camembert the suspense much longer.

Actually no it's fine. I'm fine

If he stays, I hope he's emental-ly prepared and emotionally invested in the club.

If he goes, then may it be for a feta trade price than Freo think is appropriate.

Tom Browne saying Hogan will leave this year or next. Not sure I want him in the team when he has one leg back in WA.

MELBOURNE want pick 5 and a future first round pick from FREO

How does that equate to wanting the highest trade deal ever?

As for 5  and  a second rounder, such a result would create a clear credibility issue somewhere, particularly as we gave 2 first rounders for Lever.

Mahoney would have to walk the plank on that one.

Gouda for you!

Don't forget that Hogan is a restricted free agent next year (surely hes in top 25% of earners at club). So if freo and the media think we will get him for nothing next year they are wrong.

agreed. and the big journo's, even Sam Mclure, have gained high powered positions by being good at their jobs.

I agree with the gist of your post. I was probably over the top. Definitely, journos would have better sources than myself.

That said, there have been plenty of journalists dressing their opinions as fact, particularly during trade period. Particularly on trade radio there are presenters who show stunning ignorance when it comes to footballers, their attributes and trade value.

if we let hogan go for a first and 2nd rounder then i think it takes away all of Mahoneys good work in the past. he has a history of over spending. 


The feeling this thread is giving me is like the effects of a real strong mull cookie that you want it to stop but it just keeps getting worse.

What has Tom Browne’s record been like in the past? 

Has he got a legitimate source or are these just his opinions dressed as fact?

He wrote a book about "school days" i think

They have been following the kid around like a bad smell since he was 17. Of course they still want him & there excitement levels were getting out of control when there was actually a possibility to get him this year. 

Like we did with Lever?

if you listened today, Barrett refused to give any air to the "failed medical rumour", or other rumours he had not heard from a reputable source. The only time they state their opinions in when they are guessing what pick a player is worth, and that were fans get angry.. but they are more than entitled to discuss what a player may be worth

Is that a contradiction or am I just fatigued with this whole thread ?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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?
