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.

    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

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • 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.
