In limbo: There are only two Dees out of contract, but both Jay Kennedy Harris and Billy Stretch (pictured) currently appear unlikely to be at the club next season. Melbourne targeted run throughout the trade period, with Adam Tomlinson and Ed Langdon joining.

Delisted: Jeff Garlett, Declan Keilty
Retired: Jordan Lewis, Corey Maynard, Tim Smith, Guy Walker

    Would take Josh Walker and Ben Keays from Brisbane. Both would be depth upgrades at least.

    Josh Walker is a definite no for me

    I really don't think he is AFL standard - I'm confident Geelong and Brisbane feel the same way

    Josh Walker has always intrigued me as a footballer.

    Still only 26 

    Has improved markedly at Bris bane Def defence insurance and can switch hut up forward 

    Sam Gray and Christiansen ( don't like how he ducks his head) are the types of players we should look at as they are small forwards with skills and above all kick goals!

    Sorry Seen Walker improve in defence and an most surprised Lions have not signed him up.

    plays with more body and while not all Harris Andrews skills he is hard to beat one on one Msybe pace a  question  but reliable snd good overhead mark

    I expect both Sam Grey & Allen Christensen to stay at their clubs given Port missed out on Fantasia and Brisbane Elliott.

    Would love Sam Skinner despite the fact Brisbane will likely try to keep him. Think we should offer him a decent contract and get him in the PSD. Can play at either end and is really aggressive.

    Would also take a punt on Tim Broomhead assuming he gets delisted as a DFA. Was just starting to establish himself in the Collingwood team until he broke his leg early 2018. Has pace, is a good kick and would help provide some forward pressure and crumbing ability.

    Surely Keays is worth a look! Still only 22 years old and has showed a bit at AFL level the past few years. Kicked 43 goals from 16 games in the NEAFL this year. IMO he'd be an upgrade on all our depth forwards at worst.

    Why don’t we look at Harley Bennell as a rookie  

    Stick him in the forward line and see what he can do. 

    Worth the risk imo.

    Harley Bennell for sure. Get him. Risk & reward option.
    Safe option, if the Cats don't re-sign him would be Lachie Henderson. Gives us key position coverage at both ends

    Have you watched Henderson lately?, I run with more fluidity and I'm in my sixties

    Turn it up. You get around on a scooter. Unless it's a race down a steep hill, I'm backing Henderson

    Hope your brakes are in good nick !

    Should have a chat with Goody and see if there's a rookie spot with your name on it. Chap like you should get a game.

    About time we had Another Wizard in the forward pocket

    • 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.
