Lots of "no" there. Who should we be going after?

Going by Goat's attitude, he will want us to chase prime Wayne Carey and then blame the club when we can't do it.

If we are trying to create a sustainable culture then we shouldn't be going for any players that have a checked past & especially players that are over 28. Youth.....

Cut & dry for me.....not sure if that's right but we are not good enough to exercise the risk involved.....IMO

Risk? We'd be picking him up for next to nothing on a 1 yr contract - if he never plays a senior match, what exactly have we lost?

There's a bloke playing full forward for Geelong with a chequered past, over 28, who i think we would chase.........

Still didn't answer "who" specifically we should be going for.

is brown still a go if we go after Jackson in the draft?

Yes. Preseason or rookie, I would think.

We cannot put all hopes in 18 yr olds, to perform from day 1.

Yeah decent back up pick up for free. Much better than Jenkins so I'm okay with it.

I wonder what the world record for picking up delisted free agents are in one year, benell, Murray and brown haha

I think we pulled out. No idea why or even exactly when, it was buried in a few other articles about a week ago.

Smart move to have him train on especially whilst Petty and Weideman aren't at full fitness and whilst the odds of Bennell are still heavily against Harley getting through preseason yet alone playing games.

I'd invite a bunch of players to train and see who demands a list spot.

Mitch Brown would be on base payment circa $180k for a depth type game player. But his 2019 again showed he can play and strongly contribute.  Bargain for money imo. 

Could be a bit like Cam Pedersen and also can go back in defence.

Handy depth who will give his all if we take him as a rookie.0

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
