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?

    Just putting it out there, and before anyone asks and says i am trolling, I will not be giving any names (my source has demanded I don’t) but I have heard we are really trying to get a key forward from another vic team!!

    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?

    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: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.
