    As long as he brings Jack Silvagni with him W’DEE. He’s out of contract at the end of the season.

    As much as we hope we look far and wide, we will more then likely end up with more Casey players on our list.

    We are already in talks with Sydney! Don’t know the full details.

    Also have held discussions with Nathan Freeman. I am only assuming for the mid-draft.

    surgeries to 5000 players

    bottom 4 ‘19

    high draft ‘19

    2020-2024 gfs

    epic

    I should really re search this but didn't the Eagles make the prelim or Granny the year after finishing second last and securing nic nat?

    2017 - 1st pick 29 Spargo 2nd pick 31 Fritch

    2018 - 1st pick 27 Tom Sparrow  2nd pick 33 James Jordan - Too early to say stuff ups.

    Plenty of lemons went before Fritch and not many stars after him. I think Sparrow will be OK

    Spargo & Fritch have played 50 games between them, even Freo who picked Brayshaw & Cerra have less games from their first 2 picks (picks 2 & 5) Yes I would rather have Brayshaw & Cerra but we didn't have pick  2 & 5

    He isn’t the sort of speedy player I’m after. He is fast like Hibbo is fast. In that he runs fast and turns it over. No thanks.

    Fair. Wasn’t having a go at you at all. Just really hope we don’t keep chasing the same type of players we already have enough of. 

  • Quote

    Not sure who we are into, but would like to see what we would get in return for Frost, OMac, Petracca, Garlett, Hunt, ANB and Viney. 

    This year will define us and we need to be ruthless. We have severely overestimated our list.

    • 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.

      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.
