There was another article about 2 days ago that listed the dogs, Saints and Hawks as interested and said that Melbourne had no interest at all. There's a whole heap of guess work and made up BS from jurnos at the moment

    No point having the best back 6, when the rest of the team refuse to defend...

    We definitely need more intercept defenders, and how about some more inside mids who can’t kick while we’re at it?! I certainly hope we don’t target any outside run, small forwards or key forwards that would be madness!

    [censored] I hope we are also going after a marking forward who can crash a pack and kick a few goals a game.

    Keith was originally part of the Suns first intake as a key marking forward, but then went off to play cricket, then when he came back to the game he was tried first forward then settled much better down back. Unless the club thinks he could go back to a forward role (similar to TMac and Petty) then I see no reason at all for him.

    We need a strong forward and a pacy midfielder. Recruiting Keath would be stupidity of the highest order. Then again it is Melbourne.

    Watch us hand over a future first rounder for him aand give them Billy Stretch or ANB but we will pay their existing contract out, while the Saints get Matt Crouch for a second rounder plus  Eddie Betts.

    Victorian-born Keath is reportedly being offered big money from Melbourne while Hawthorn is keen on Greenwood, according to an AFL report last month.

    If it is in a trade for Lever and his giant pay packet, then it sounds good to me.

    Amazing how the club is saying that a defender is still high on our priority list... 

    Our defence is the 17th best in the league

    For the best part of the year we've had Jetta, May, Hibberd, Lever out while Lewis has done other roles. Only way I understand going after Keath (hopefully not big $$$) is they will utilise May forward with TMAC. Just a thought.

    Yeah OK but how many games did may, lever and Hibbard play together other clubs target forwards and midfielders this obsession with chasing defender has left the forward line and midfield with holes, the list is full of defenders, it's getting close to having 15 defender on the list, josh has to go or we will have only defender's on the list.

    We've barely had Lever May and Jetta all in the one side this year.

    The few games May has played this year pur defence has looked the best it has in a long time.

    If we do recruit Keath, where does he fit into the Frost, Lever, May lineup??

    Frost is also out of contract currently as we speak.

    This the only way I can rationalise this. If they think Frost is on the move and they're after an immediate replacement.

    I don't know much about Keath to be honest,  but there is a bit of a love fest for him in the media it seems.  

    Someone started a thread about Frost to the wing which I initially thought no way,  but it may be worth experimenting with these last few rounds when both Hore n May return.

    A bit of Frost Footy into out F50 would be far more unpredictable than bombing long like we do only for the opposition to pick us off every fuggn time.

    FFS - these sorts of comments are ludicrous. I would suspect the recruiting team would also be after pace AS WELL as what other players can bring. Remind me how many list spots are available again ??

    And Adelaide apparently had some interest in Frosty a couple of years ago before he recommitted with us.

    Keath for Frost, where do I sign?

    We are 17th in defence this year, 9th in 2018,  9th in 2017 and 11th in 2016.

    But we don't have any room for more defenders because ours are such guns.

    You see things in such excruciatingly simple, black and white  terms.

    Aaron Francis has put talks on hold at the Bombers due to concerns they have no long term key position role for him. i think he's someone that could improve our side at either end of the ground.

    He did SFA up until the back half of last year, and has done SFA since. Massively overrated. Pass.

    I heard he won't come to us, so we've decided to recruit an injured nutritionist who we hope can be re-trained as an assistant boot studder.

    We'll have to pay overs, but it'll totally be worth it.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
