word i have heard is it's closer to an average of $750k per annum over the course of the three years, so slightly over $2.25m total value, not the reported $2m over three

AFL putting in the extra $250,000........

    They certainly are looking stronger if you look a little "green"

    Fits our needs to a tee. Carries the Daniher name. Would come at a high cost with high risk, but if Darren Burgess isn't up to the challenge of rehabilitating a gun generational forward, then why did we appoint him? (Aside from getting our current list match fit for the rigors of 2020)

    Isn't the word that, if he were to leave, it was to get out if the footy bubble of Melbourne?

    That being said, if he was available, we'd be mad not to have a go

    he hates the footy bubble of melbourne, but at close to $900k a year next year before he becomes a free agent, i can't see how sydney will be able to get it done with their salary cap squeeze

    With Joe Daniher reported to be possibly on the market and being courted by the Swans, I wonder if there has been any thought given to luring him to the Dees?  He is obviously not without some risk however two years ago, before injury, he played 23 games and kicked 65 goals.

    He has the height to play back-up ruck, is connected to Goodwin from his time at the Bombers and has a family connection to our club through Neil Daniher. 

    Joe could help us structurally by playing deep forward, bringing our smaller forwards into the game and freeing up Tom McDonald to use his tank and roam up the field.

    I have heard it mentioned that he has a good character, is popular amongst his peers and a future leader, so maybe good for us off field as well.

    What do other Demonlanders think? Do I have rocks in my head?

    Injury prone player who struggles to get on the park. He'll fit right in. Where do we sign up?

    Of course a fit JD would help us but Considering what Draft Picks we’d have to give and our crippling shortages in other areas, it is one I would never have even thought of. 

  • Quote

    At the price he'd require (in trade and cash), and with the obvious risks involved, and with his goalkicking accuracy a bit iffy, nope.

    Restricted free agent next year, that might make things interesting if the injury situation starts to look less chronic.

    Every reason to wait and see, no reason to chase now.

    Would rather he stay injured on Essendon's list with a massive contract eating into their cap

    I’m not saying we should get him but am surprised people are so quick to dismiss the idea. 65 goals 39 behinds in 2017 seems fairly accurate kicking to me, and had he kicked that this year it would probably win him the Coleman medal. His trade value is likely to be reduced given he has been out of the game for two years due to injury and the fact he is one year out from free agency. Maybe a late first round or early second round pick would be enough? Lewis retiring and Jones’ pay cut frees up some salary cap.

    Also, outside of Jonathan Patton who seems destined for the Hawks, I am not sure there is any other more attractive and getable key position forward options available this year.

    Would not been opposed to this if the new fitness guru has a chat with him. Very hard to stop on his day. If he is in a position to nominate Melbourne then it could come down to a salary cap dump.

    Are essendon looking at big names or any of our surplus of inside mids (except oliver!)

    Rocks I think. My mate an Essendon supporter would give him to us to ensure our continued misery.

    Knowing the Bombers, they're likely to ask for 10 first round picks for him and not budge an inch.

    That’s become a bit of a classic myth 

    Bombers get their deals done, same as most other clubs

    Seems like he’s definitely on his way to Sydney, which I guess means Papley is definitely on his way to Carltank

    Probably wants to get out of the spotlight that is football mad Melbourne. Sydney known to bring in players' wanting to 'escape' the footy world.

    Will cost them an arm and a leg to get him. Not worth it for an injury riddled player whose groin is just about shot.

    With their interest in Jack Martin, I'll be interested to see how they get both of those deals done with only Pick 8 to play with in terms of first rounders.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
