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.

Uhoh. Yeah, Membrey is probably a worse option. Anyway, whinge, whinge, whinge.

    I'm not much of a Membrey fan, but he did kick 44 goals for the season.  I'd take those 40+ goals every day of the week right now.

    Depends what we pay and who he keeps out of the side.

    True.  Would he play as the second tall alongside McDonald?  I feel like a third tall is too much for us with Fritsch and Melksham already down there, not to mention Trac spending minutes inside our forward 50 as well.

    Yeah, I reckon he's competing with Weideman for the second tall role.

    I doubt there'll be any movement on this front until next year. Apart from Daniher, Bruce and Jenkins, unfortunately just isnt  much available atm. Of the others remaining Mason Wood is an interesting one, could be good but is super inconsistent and doesnt exactly form a formidable duo with McDonald imo. 

    If Cameron dosent re-sign at the Giants next year then I'm sure there'll be a bonanza involving every vic club to land him, likewise with Ben King. I think the club is still in the mind of hoping Weideman comes good this year and will also be interesting to see how they see Petty developing next year as either part of the forward or back groups. The club should at least wait another year and see if that 2nd tall spot is still an absolute must fill with better talent when at least there are seemingly better players to look at in 2020.

    Jenkins is good close to goal...but Preuss should do that job with a bit of improvement.

    i would like to see Preuss get a bit more of an education as a forward, he is tall and strong enough to worry opposition teams, hopefully we can find some small crumbing forwards who can actually find the ball and kick some goals.

    Nick Dal Santo this morning suggested Big time we should go after Josh Jenkins. I agree with his thinking!!

    Sorry about that, everybody.  I shall now have a much needed bath and go to bed without my supper.  Shame on me.

    Jenkins is a million times more mobile and dangerous than Pruess will ever be!

    Go Get him IMV

    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.

    Apologies for being slightly obsessed with this idea of late, but what do y’all with your learned opinions think about this guy (JL) filling the above-mentioned role? 

    (Also how do you embed a video properly?)

    I like it. Lockhart showed a good goal sense as evidence by that clip. But I think we need more speed in our forward 50. And more x factor. Lockhart is the sort that might kick 20 next year.

    I can confirm that although Elliott’s nickname is Basil, he wasn’t the Basil.

    Yeah, I like how much pluck and ambition he’s shown just getting on the ground this year. He’s clearly very driven and naturally talented. All this and yet to do a pre-season with the club. I can’t help but feel he could really impress all of us grumpy fux next year.

    • 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.
