Can’t believe there are still people who want T-Mac to return to defence.

    To me it looks like we're ready to accept unders so we can do a trade for May. It needs to be made clear to Freo that if May is taken away from us by another club, the unders will no longer be available, and they'll need to produce more than what's been discussed. We'll be in a position where we need to start looking for a next option after May, and that will probably cost us more, caused by them, so their cost.

    How about Tom going back when required. 

    Tom going back now if all players are acquired is a step backwards IMO.

    Stupidity confirmation.

    The only time TMac might be in the back 50 is in the last 2 minutes of quarters when we're  trying to stop opposition scoring.

    Or if we are playing in a prelim final against the Eagles. You , unfortunately have a very short memory span.

    Yep! I just woke up! 

    The ball isn’t in Freo’s or little man Peter Bells court! I don’t care what Freo value because it stinks and the rest of the competition agree... 

    Pick 5 is the foundation to move forward...  If not Jesse stays! I would be asking for Langdon and if I were the Dees I would be in his ear to leave. His brother doesn’t even want to go there! Or Tim Kelly. Freo are on the nose...

    Freo want Pick 5 and more from Brisbane... But want too give nothing for Jesse. Please...! Freo need to get off the grass.

    The Dees are the seller and have control. If the Dockers don’t want to buy at the asking price we’ll so be it. 

    Sounds as though you would touch your toes for Pick 11 & 23...! 

    I never said we should do that deal, i just said that 5 + Ed Langdon is a fairytale right now.  We might dig in and pull off 5+23 if Freo cave, but the mental health rumours suggest otherwise. Getting Langdon instead of 23 seems fanciful imo

    If he plays a full season he wins the Coleman at FF.

    Yes total outlier situation when we were bleeding goals. Akin to the last 2 minutes of quarters.  It's pulling the emergency cord.

    The context of the question was using Hogan as starting CHB next year.

    Are you seriously suggesting that we'll ever start TMac as key back in the future?  It's over - he's a key forward.

    No I’m not but there will be multiple situations where Tom will be used down back other than the last 2 minutes of a 1/4. The coach clearly recognises he is still our best defender and uses him so. I would have a long chat to Goody to find out what his vision is  for Tom before he is consigned as a permanent forward. He might have expectations that he can use Tom as his go to man a la Croswell.

    I'd rather Frost defending than Tom and that's saying something.

     I am aware of a massive offer from NM to Oliver (who has some vague connection to them) that Oliver refused. This one never made the media.

     

    Nice story 'GNF'.

    Up there with Little Red Riding Hood & a few other tall tales.

    Make it plausible by using North, they're throwing cash around like confetti. Problem is their offers are for free agents and out of contract players. Oliver is neither.

    Olivers vague connection to North is that they are an AFL team & he is an AFL player.

    It didn't make the media because it didn't happen.

    I have no doubt when Oliver's next contract is due he will get some very large to massive offers and we will need to take good care of him.

    Failmantle have some very strange ideas on sharing the money love. They signed Bennell on a 3 year $650k pa contract and kept Lachie Neale on $450k pa. There is every chance that Bennell will be gone soon (or at the very least get a new low $ contract) and if LN goes as well, that is a lot of money in the kitty. As well as any retirements, delistings and current underspend.

    So you are right. Lots of salary cap space in the land of purple muppets.

    The fact they resigned Ballantyne says plenty about these people from planet purple.

    I'm with Lobby Lloyd with this one

    Actually, I'd heard that one too.

    Who is we. Do you mean we as a club or you and me.

    If the latter, where did I give you permission to make up stuff about what I am thinking.

    Anyway who are you?

    If I had to choose between the posts of you and GNF, I know which I would believe and I am sorry but it wouldn't be yours.

    Sucked right in.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
