We’re the only team he kicks bags against, if he played with us, would he kick bags for us...???

He'd kick 19 in our intraclub match.

    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.

    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

      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.
