Sam McClure is reporting on trade radio that Freo are looking to trade him if possible. Obviously has had some troubles but has insanely good talent and would come super cheap. Worth a look for the right price?

    Sam probably read that on a fake Twitter account.  Much like what he reports.  He was caught out last week. 

     

    Take no notice of that peanut

    No.

    After further thought... absolutely no.

    I honestly believed he would become one of the best players in the comp. He looked every bit a star in the making. There wouldn’t be many takers now if any.

    One of the biggest wastes of talent in the last decade.  Probably part of the great legacy that Karmichael Hunt left at the Suns.

    Colin Sylvia would give him a good run for that title, maybe he was the decade before Bennell

    I'd eat a Sylvia Bennell [censored] sandwich for pick 5 & 6 though. Party in Bali on minimum afl wage for 3 years.

    Brilliant idea.  Sign up Bennell & Re rookie Sylvia.

    We have the culture to take on someone like this... but Bennell is too far gone for mine.  I don't think the best culture in the world could keep him under wraps.

    No from me too.

    Yeah he has had 7 seasons to get his body and professionalism right... no chance he makes it. Hopefully he goes to Carlton and makes them implode so they can dive deeper into illrelvance.

    I'd take him. Sure he has been a fruit loop and has had his fair share of injuries but he'd come for free so what's there to lose. I think our club is strong enough to handle him if he goes awol. He was one of the best players in the comp at his best so he'd be in our top 5 players if he got healthy.

    We’d have plenty to lose. You don’t want this guy and what he gets up to off the field anywhere near the club.

    Absolutely NO. The positive is, Freo are clearing up cap space.

    Not sure he would necessarily clear up cap space, having signed a new contract a month ago.

    it would be a breach of the no richard cranium policy

    It certainly would ....... May may be stretching that already.

    mutual agreement, he'll ask for match payments for 2019 season ie: 22 x $4,000 per game and move on.

    Too much baggage sadly because he’s a great talent and bargain basement price.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
