Can anyone explain why we aren’t looking at Josh Bruce?

We can't look at every single player on the market.  We have to focus our attention on a few.

I'd also wager that we see other aspects of our side, such as small forwards and outside run, as more important to fill during this off season.

    How do you know we’re not? 

    Well we don’t know. Just odd that all the focus are on small forwards when we have a tall deficiency also. Weid - not ready yet and TMac - don’t think he can take the number 1 forward role or defender.

    I was thinking about this earlier. We do need a good tall forward, Bruce is too inconsistent for mine. I heard a whisper that we’re into Gunston and Hawks are after draft picks. #Isthatatradebreak? #Yesitis #ETthetradebreakerdoesitagain

    I actually think he's what we need.

    One of the best contested marks in the league and would add critical depth to our forward line. 

    We can't have a repeat of the second Sydney game where we literally ran out of key forwards.

    I hope there's an element of truth in that.

    Absolutely, i cant understand it and people say we might be, but that would have been reported by now.. surely with Richo in the club he would know a bit about him and what he can do he  would be ideal for us.. its bizarre as Weid is not established, Tommy Mc is injury prone and basically ha done good year up fwd, Petty who knows??

    This is what annoys me from the outside, Dogs being pro active and not us.

    Apparently the Dogs are offering a deal 'too good to refuse'. Whether that's $$$ or unlimited trips to the barber to perm up his man-bun, who knows?

    Why is it silly? i have said who knows what we are doing but it tends to get out if we are into players, so from the outside it seems like we are not being pro active enough, Langdon? is that it?

    It would appear the Club is damned if it leaks and damned if it doesn't.  Some people just like to whinge.

    Dogs sure do like to trade in key forwards don't they?

    Learnt their lesson from Jarrad Grant the hard way, then got smart about it.

    Really? What lesson was that? They drafted one of the best up and coming forwards with an early pick just 2 years ago.

    Except for him, and anyone else who minimises my argument.

    So apparently it was mentioned on SEN this afternoon and then later on channel 7 that we are making a late play for Bruce?

    Did anyone catch this??

    I thought he’d agreed to the Dogs on personal terms, was just a matter of the clubs putting a suitable trade together. Unless we pull a Sydney-Lockett style rug pulling why would he have reason to change his mind. Dogs would surely have more $$ than us to offer

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
