I know Burgess has a PhD but he’s not a ‘Doctor Doctor’, I think some posters are getting confused.

No but Max might be able to, as he is a good palmer of the ball.

We have absolutely nothing to lose and so much to gain by picking him up. 

Imagine if Darren Burgess our fitness guru gets him right.. Not only will he be EXACTLY what we need. But we could be a team that talented players with niggling injuries turn to as an opportunity to get themselves right. At the moment, blokes like Jager Omeara, Scully, Paton are turning to Hawks for that reason. 

Doesn't work out? Oh well, they are the expectations from the whole football world anyway. 

You have a lot to lose when you bring in a player who causes off field issues and brings other players around him down.

Dusty was always a better player then both scully and trengove, all Scilly has is his running power Trengove was alway a 1, dimensional player, the only reason he went at 3 is because of his family background

Mr Hindsight is that you.

Scully was the number 1 pick by a mile in his draft year and every team would have taken him at no.1.

As for Dusty even Richmond put him on the trade table.

That's not true Richmond never put Dusty on the trade table, Dusty's manager shopped Dusty around, he even invited himself to have a look around at GWS training Base, then  Caroline Wilson wrote a couple of bad articles about Dusty and all of a sudden nobody wanted him.

I said it earlier in this thread but I'll say it again. The supplemental list period allows clubs to have guys train with them before officially being listed. That's the move for Bennell. If his body holds up all summer and he's ready to play by March that's when you give him a contract. 

Spot on, or even make him go back to VFL/SANFL/WAFL level and earn it for 6 months then come through in the mid-season draft.

Sorry to intrude, interesting to hear Tim Watson this morning say the CEOs have reportedly voted in the last couple of days for the mid-season draft to be scrapped. No reasons given as yet, possibly something to do with TPP.

Might as well face it you’re addicted to palm!


I was feed information 3 weeks ago that Melbourne officials had been in touch with Bennell and his management...

Calf injury will be a problem of the past as they found something that’s been missed previously...

Now all this is starting to come to light!.. I can confirm we are the club in question!..

 From everything I’m heard with the calf problem solved... it’s a risk worth taking..

AFL media circles! It must be true, they never lie, speculate or embellish. I thought you had real info.

I wonder how many people who support us getting bennell supported us getting rid of Watts


On the surface I don't like this unless we give up peanuts for him and I don't mean a late draft pick I mean actual peanuts.

Trading in injury prone players is our specialty so he'll fit right at home for a year before he is delisted or retires.

Of course I'll be tickled pink if I'm wrong but I'm not particularly ticklish.

Ive known this source for 15 years... I was told to keep it on the down low until information  surfaced...

Time will prove this information correct...

Demonland is probably the only place anyone actually cares really...

cant do it on Facebook, people know me and know who my source is... and that would bad for all involved..

the one part I don’t like is how his manager has come out and said this... obviously they want more clubs than just Melbourne to be interested..

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
