Interesting...

I'm torn as to whether he would actually improve us. He'd probably compete with Weideman for the second forward spot. I guess it's a depth thing as well.

Depends on the price, I guess. 

Its Not as if Weeds is a proven consistent performer as yet. He has time but would love another Tall, Would take any of in preferential order Gunston, Casboult, Jenkins easy!

    Talk he might be off to the Bombers now!

    I wonder if the rumour re listed to Cox but the destination club was muddled.

    I don't want Cox (leave it alone ds)

    For anyone wondering the key forwards of any interest that come out of contract at the end of next year are:

    Ben Brown

    Ben King

    Brody Mihocek

    Jeremy Cameron (RFA)

    Mason Wood (RFA)

    Patrick McCartin

    By no means the full list as at trade time anyone and everyone seems to be gettable regardless of contract. Pretty slim pickings if you ask me, and I’m of the view that Cameron wont leave the Giants. The interesting ones are King and Brown which could definitely be gettable

    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!).

    I gather you have no more news as yet.

    Breust or gunston  both make sense. Good kicks. Hawks have recent history of moving long term players on. Are rebuilding. And maybe keen in frost. Straight swap?

    Same.  Might explain why the offer was never tabled to Frost (as of yet anyway).

    Wouldn't surprise if Yokozuna was playing games

    Yoko was spot on more than once in 2018 when it came to team changes. Would post them well before the official announcement, if it’s the same source there could well be something brewing here. That’s my belief anyway dd.

    I don’t know why he can’t just name the player. 

    It better not be Mason Cox after Basil Mason (the writer) or Mason Basil (the way hipsters grow Basil), I’ll throw up.

    How dare you accuse someone on the site of making up stuff ?. 

    I will ease your minds and say it isn’t Cox or anyone from that club!

    However, I do have a very good source and I am glad some people remember my team announcements in previous years!!

    I just haven’t been on the site much this year, as I honestly couldn’t sit through most of the rubbishy being written on here!

    it was bad enough watching us play, but rewind stuff on here just made it worse!!

    As I said, I promised my source I wouldn’t name the player, but he is from a club that are possibly needing to shed some players or $$ this trade period.

    I would like it to be membrey or Bruce, as I know they always beat us, but it isn’t. 

    As I said, you will be surprised!!

    Casboult? Surely the Blues, with Betts (albeit not with a ton for them to pay), Papley and Martin all on the way in need to make some space. Also been some (internet) rumours they may chase Gaff, so they will need to be cutting back elsewhere. They've delisted/retired 6 players and already have 3/4 coming in pre-draft, so may need list spots too.

    Hawkins 

    I hope not. Or hope so. I'm not sure. 

    Gunston? 

    Clues:

    • A key forward (are correct to assume a big?)
    • Victorian club
    • But not pies
    • And not membrey or Bruce
    • A club who needs to shed some players or $$ this trade period
    • Would be a surprise

    Cats might be looking to make a play for Cameron with Kelly’s compensation. 

    Think they’ve tried before... 

    Hawkins does perform well against us, and, being a Cat through and through, it would surprise. 

    If I’m right, and I’m usually not, I don’t think I’d like it.

    • 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.
