If we're not paying much for Wingard and the FD think they can get consistency out of him, he's exactly the sort of player our forwardline and midfield lacks. I'd be all over him.

Not sure where you would get that idea from. Just last year we offloaded a former no.1 pick for cheap because we couldnt get consistency and we struggle to get consistency out of petrecca. While i think we've improved from the underdevelopment of players I think i'd only rate Hawthorn as a club who are able to turn player's careers around (and even they fail sometimes - dayle garlett)

    What have you heard?

    That he won’t be leaving.

    Hasn’t he said he wants a trade the Brissy? Rare for a player who requests it not to be traded.

    He is alluding to the rumour circulated on SEN today that if Bennell is traded out of the club that Neale would say. Fairly fanciful, one would think.

    Boo! If someone posts a rumour based on another rumour surely they should say so.

    Don’t know if this is posted elsewhere, but the roar is reporting unconfirmed noise sources suggesting May is requesting a trade to the dees.

    Maybe our 2019 1st round pick?

    Dees aren’t going to hang around to do a deal with Freo for Jesse. Jesse I think will sign an extension and stay.

    The Dees will be proactive with GC in getting a deal done for May on there own merits... Future R1 Pick will be definitey on the table including player/picks.

    @Dee tention is this a gut feel? or knowledge?

    I disagree 100% with your first sentence, it assumes they want to keep him. I have seen no evidence of that.

    There is heaps of evidence, allowed to explore opportunities, allowed to tour freo facilities, dees sitting down with freo discussing what we would want, mahoney on trade radio saying they questioned Jesse.......plenty of evidence

    Spot on SF. There has not been one statement from the club or players saying " please stay Jessie" Does that tell you something. There is a lot more to this than meets the eye. I see a lot of simulatives to the Watts trade last year.

    Sorry Febes, I understand that nuance and semantics are somewhat lost on you and others on DL.

    In plain language the MFC is asking "what's in it for us?" This is a different prepossession to wanting him to go or stay.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
