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.

    Well clearly youth which would involve pick >100 in the ND 

    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. 

    Not against it good insurance and may actually be good alongside weid and tmac to take off pressure

    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.

    GC need to keep looking at AFL and MFC websites 

    Don't miss out on much also Demonlander  is good most of the time!!

    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.

    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

    I think this is very shrewd business by the MFC. Can't lose on this one.

    • 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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
