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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
