ellis, elliott, tomlinson are the clear three stand-outs of that crop and we are in discussions with two of them

I'd argue that Edwards would be numero uno, but pretty sure he just put pen to paper

Melbourne football club never take a chance, probably one of the reasons they've been so crap for years, it's always by the book #boring

Lamumba was a risk.  Volatile at Pies due to his ego and we took him.  Lever for two 1st rounders was a risk.  Mitch Clark was another risk.  We do take risks.

Far too many actually.

They were all dumb risks. Taking a hugely talented delisted free agent for next to nothing with the last spot on the list is a smart risk.

What, with his injury track record?? KK isn't enough for you? How many crocks do you wanna carry on your list???

None appeal so far.  Maybe Wylie Buzza but only because of his name.  

Just my opinion so put away any arrows, bullets and darts. These are options. 

small forward option - Ben Keays (x Lions) 22yo had a ripping NEAFL year but couldn’t crack the Lions midfield. 

tall forward option - Callum Moore (x Tigers) was behind Lynch and Riewoldt but is a good mark and handy backup key forward.    (also still like Buzzzzzzza for the fans screaming out his name )

running midfielder - Connor Menadue (x Tigers) is a skilled quick wingman who delivers the footy and kicks goals.  Again behind a few quality players in the Tigers middle.

Whilst not delisted (could still be by thevSaints) Jack Newnes is out of contract and presents the best option as a strong running mid. Not sure on Nick Robertson.  Good lockdown tagger type to play tough unsociable footy.  Could be handy to stop others key midfielders.  

Im not a Sam Murray fan as his pace is good but ball delivery is poor.  We apparently got rid of Frost for this.

  • 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.
