I think the answer you seek lies in someone who’s first and last names begin witht the letter K

Kent Kingsley is coming out of retirement to join Melbourne and repay us for all those years that we kept his career alive by letting him kick bags against us?

    I will let you all guess away (or conversely have a crack at me for not naming anyone and making it up), but I will only say he is from a vic team and has been mentioned nowhere in the media.

    We all know Elliott was not the only player we have been talking too!

     

    Give us an over and under 50 games!

    I wonder if the Dogs get Bruce if they give up on Schache. Or if the Pies look to shift Mihocek now knowing they can't pay him next year. That's my 2 guesses.

    I wish it was him, but no, it isn’t.

    I won’t answer all of them, as it will give it away, but once I can get my source to allow me to give some more, I will.

     

    Anything worth getting slightly excited over?

    Interesting.

    I see you've ruled out McKay, and you would expect others like Curnow, Ben Brown etc to be well and truly off the market, so I'm interested in who this might be and if it's someone who would slot in to our best 22.

    Are we poaching Sam Weideman from the Casey Demons?

    Benny Brown...come on down. I presume he's a mate of Preuss... ;)

    Didn't someone post the other day saying that we've targeted a key forward from another team who is basically pretty ordinary. I think @DeeSpencer asked the right question. Is it someone we should be excited about or is it the struggler?

  • Quote

    I am excited by the player, he is not a battler, but a player who has kicked quite a few goals against us (but thats not hard as we have always allowed players to kick modern day bags of 4-5 against us!).

    Actually Membrey always scores against us, but he isn't actually a key forward, though he does play that way against us.

    Funny you mention him - with the Saints obviously right into the other King, would they palm off both Bruce and Membrey with the idea that the King twins and, maybe, McCartin are their forwards for the future?

    Yep, that nails it. It's Bruce. Yeah, very meh, IMO. But anyway. He's a stopgap option, not a long term option IMO. I'd prefer we try recruiting a couple of quick smalls to compliment Melksham, Frisch, Hannan and Petracca.

    But didn't yokozuna say the player was out of the media?

    If so, it can't be Bruce... might well be membrey though, which is worse. He really is the current Kent Kingsley

    Bruce seems totally committed to getting to the Dogs.  Can't see where we fit in at all.

    Brown and McDonald would actually be a very good tandem, but I doubt it's Brown.

    It's Tom Boyd, isn't it? He's decided he wants another shot.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
