If he has to leave I'd be more content if we bring in May ( Magic 8 Ball says: Most likely ), Kolodjashnij (Magic 8 Ball says: Most likely), a young Docker (Magic 8 Ball says: Outlook not so good ) and then Weideman and TMac not get injured (Magic 8 Ball says: Reply hazy, try again ).

Dr Cool can always go forward if needed. Yet to kick a goal in AFL football but i'm sure he would slay them up forward.

    Sam manure for me. By a mile. The etd of the footy media.

    I heard Gil on Trade radio. Not ha huge Gil fan but i have to say he's gone up in my estimation.

    A prickly Gil was beautifully dismissive of Sam 'i am an authoritative, respected and influential voice in football and my opinions carry much weight and gravitas ' Mcclure. Worth a listen.

    first post in years. looks like we will have to get a deal done, a work colleague, she's a big dees fan, who's brother was in Bali with Jesse, from WA, good mates,  Jesse has said to him he will not sign a new deal with Melbourne if he isn't traded, he will walk end of next year, Freo are aware of this too, they just think his demands are too high. Sad really. So will it force us to take unders? Or Hold tight?  seems determined to go home.

     

    Casey seconds might have a new power forward next year!! HaHa

    my spider senses are tingling... just have a funny feeling there's a surprise yet in all of this..and not a bad one.

    Tantalizingly possible, Bezel; I, too, think there is a big one there deliberately low-profiled, secreted away in some MFC mind to act as a compensatory finale.

    This morning, just before the deadline, unless Jesse openly states before curtain-call that he wants to stay at the MFC to significantly contribute a role in the MFC winning a flag in 2019 - 2020, then he can leave as far as I am concerned - as he has been given everything to stay over the past few years, has not really produced the goods and has recently been petulant, easily led by his 'management' and may well have a longer-term navicular bone issue. He certainly has battled the odds but the MFC has repatriated him to the best of its (and anyone's) ability. 

    I'd want May, KK and a well-decided return of Lever, ASAP. I'd want a multipurpose Preuss to shake any opposition something fearful. I'd want Frost to step up another rung as a key focus of the pre-season developments. I'd want the suspected mystery man to be a gun.

    Thanks tarzan. Seems a likely scenario. No extension and leave at end of contract.

    I'd be okay with that because he would be totally shooting himself in the foot contract and pay wise if he didn't try to have the best season he possibly could. Might snag a flag befor e going, which he aint going to get at Freo in the foreseeable future.

    Does your colleague have a sense that the key driver is wanting to live in Perth? Or is there something else in play (eg dissatisfaction with the MFC)?

    I'm the complete opposite. Gil came across as a guy with the personality of the stick. He was asked a genuine question about what he thought of St.Kilda (as he supports them) and he didn't even have the personality to lighten up a bit. You could tell Dal and Sam were like 'errrr wtf'

    Hey binman, great pun 'Shooting himself in the foot" by the way.  He just wants to go home now, he loves the Dees but going home was always a thing for him, the door was opened and as soon as he heard Melbourne were interested in a deal and he ran through,  she said he was pretty much never going to extend beyond this contract, barring maybe winning a flag he may have. there's a few other things I can't post on a public forum also. I agree, he must have a burning desire to go home if he's keen on freo!!!

    You know the dees fans have lost the plot when people were more fired up about losing Watts than losing Hogan. lolz

    I'd like them both.

    I'm still intrigued about the request to trade our 2019 first rounder. Will we try and package this in a deal with Freo or Gold Coast or another club?

    I'd prefer to get Shiel than May.

    mmmm Shiel is just a bit over rated IMO....

    I think May fills more of a need for us.

    So let’s try and win the flag in 2019. It may change his mind

    I get what you're saying but the situations are a little bit different. If  the club was initiating and overtly shopping Jesse around and pushed out the door I'm sure there would be more hell to pay.

    Also we are likely to get more back for Jesse than we did with Watts (pre-Fritsch inclusion and form).

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
