Everyone wants to join the $$$$$saints.  

I can't get my head around it. What are they doing (besides their superior facilities than ours) that we are not?

    $$$ - and you’re automatically in their best 22.

    Must be better than playing in the VFL for 80% of the season at a better club.

    It’s being reported that Richmond won’t stand in the way of Butler moving elsewhere and a fourth round pick has been suggested as adequate for a trade.

    Problem for Melbourne as things stand is that we don’t have a fourth round pick after yesterday’s trading.

    Future fourth... done.

    Lockhart will do fine. Will be 24 next year and as tenacious as ever to keep his place in the team.

    with the dearth of small forwards who can rotate through the midfield and the demand for them, butler will be in demand at the end of the season from multiple clubs i suspect

    could yet end up a two-time premiership player if one of castagna, rioli, bolton, etc. were to get injured on the run-in to the tiggas winning it all

    sigh

    he's been outstanding for the aints this year

    most amazing thing is the tiggas didn't even use the pick they got for him; it was a straight-up gift wrapped in a bow to moorabbin

    You can't continue to annoy the entire board but then complain when people call you out.

    Each week you bump threads out of nowhere, many of which are your threads to begin with, almost always after losses.

    Nothing wrong with bumping threads. Just highlighting how badly we need decent small forwards as our current fwd line is devoid of pressure

    I must admit having thought the same thing last year. I assumed he had injury or 'other' problems for there to be such a low, industry-wide, interest in him. Inexplicable and unexplainable.

    Had a superb season. One of the exact players we are missing. 
    What a shame he has gone to that club

    I wanted him to E. I saw great potential when I saw his VFL games last year.

    I just don't understand why a thread from last year needs to be brought up again? I'm sure it doesn't you or I any comfort at all? Yeah it hurts to see him play well but people just need to get over it and move on.

    I have hopes that Pickett and Bedford can be our specialist small forwards for us moving forward.

    I was just curious if anyone on here knew why Melbourne didn't chase him, hence why I bumped this

    Dan Butler, Josh Mahoney and Tim Lamb will be your best bet to ask.

    After he kicked his 23rd goal today I also thought we should have got him last trade period.

    • 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?
