I guess what is not mentioned is that the MFC has already stitched up one of the guys who would have been on of the biggest name free agents of 2019:

 

Steven May.

    Cogniglio or Tomlinson could be handy.  Would be nice to get a FA without giving up draft picks

    Coniglio is a serious jet. IMO was unlucky not to be named All Australian last year. One of the best rounded goal kicking midfielders in the game. I'd love to land him, but I suspect it's either GWS or a return home to WA.

     

    We should just focus on keeping our own going forward. Keep Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Lever etc together and the success will come.

    I know he doesn't pass the 'no DH' test, but Libba could be an A grade mid if he got his [censored] together. Can't see him leaving WB, but stranger things have happened, and we have Macca and a bunch of others who I'd back to pull him into line.

    AFL website has clubs circling Cogniglio, with Freo the favourites. However 'The Rabbit' grew up despising Freo. Article also has Carlton and Hawthorn (surprise, surprise) in the race.

    I’d rather Harley Burnnell if we’re going to take a top of the range dh.

    But fortunately we’re in a position where quality people and players are wanting to come to the club now and we don’t need to worry about needing to draft dh’s to improve our talent but coming in and ruining our culture.

    Not that Harley Burnnell is a free agent just a dh we could get for nothing like a free agent.

    You'd rather Bennell than Libba???

    Glad you're not our list manager

    At what point are we done chasing new players and more concerned with keeping the current group we have together? Now, or if not soon I would imagine 

    None of these names jump off the page for us anyway

    Agreed, we don't really need inside mids. We need speed, outside run and a small forward that actually has nous. We've seemed to be targeting a decent small forward for years ever since we picked up Addam Maric those years ago.

    Whitfield would be one of the last pieces of the puzzle and the only one from GWS I'd pursue.

    Never, we should never stop looking to improve the list.  we should do every year.

    I'd happily put a big bid in for Jamie Elliott. Worse case scenario it makes the Pies pay more to keep him.

    Stephen Hill if the price is right? Come play wing/back flank and finish your career with some wins.

    Brandon Ellis for the right price? Has only had one great year in 2017 since his early days but he can run and kick.

    Un-retiring Cyril is still a great idea.

    Realistically we've signed Salem, we need to get Weid done at a fair price and then it's probably more shopping around the edges looking for guys who can fill needs.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
