Aggressive, known goal kicker, free agent, will provide another big target inside 50 best mates with Tomlinson.

Also, the highest paid player in the game. Would love the have him though.


 

Overated.


Apparently the league's highest paid player. Do we have a spare 1.2 million + in the salary cap?

Lose Viney, Jones and tmac and we might be in business

Sometimes you have to go big and be bold to get results.  Even if he only performs for one season or even just one finals series and it all clicks.  That might be the one season that sees us land an elusive flag.  From the Sun's player ratings post their premiership...

TOM BOYD 9

Pay rise? Early goals huge, contested marking enormous and did it all banged-up after throwing himself at Mummy last week. Whether it was Peter Gordon or Jason McCartney, it was the trade that broke the drought.

Tom Boyd showed why he went pick No.1 and why he’s worth the money. Picture: George Salpigtidis"...

Sometimes one player can make the difference.  I recall Hogan sledging Boyd as he sat out a match one day at the G against us after copping a sledge himself.

At that stage Boyd was getting pilloried by the press at the time for being an over paid bust.

Well he who laughs last longest. One has a premiership medal around his neck, the other struggling over in Perth.

It pays to be bold i reckon.  At least you never die wondering.  Can't see it happening but i'd be making this our No.1 recruiting goal and leaving no stone unturned to get it done.

He's not that. Reckon May/Lever will comfortably hold him

How? Having a down year, but his record speaks for itself. The guy averages 2.5 goals a game and has at least another 100 games in his prime barring serious injury. Seriously, with all due to respect to Neitz and Lyon, he'd be our best full forward since Fred Fanning.

Don't think we'd be in the race, but it would be downright negligent not to throw our hat in the ring.

or perhaps Norm Smith.

Not true. They also go to clubs that can pay them lots.

An AA FB holds everyone, hardly a measuring stick.

Either way, Weid is left to kick 4 on Tomlinson/OMac.

Ok, will rephrase.....Gun free agents, who have not tasted the ultimate success, only go to clubs with premiership potential. So Cameron won’t come here

  • 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.
