The Herald Sun is reporting that Collingwood and Mihocek are miles apart on a contract renewal. As a latecomer to the AFL this contract clearly needs to be a big payday for him, but I can't imagine he is holding our for ridiculous money.

We clearly lack a link between our midfield and forward line, and have done since Hogan left. Mihocek is a hard worker and could be a decent option at a reasonable price. Not sure what we need to give to Collingwood, although they owe us plenty for Kennedy, Dawes and Lumumba.

    Garry Lyon is a big fan of Mihocek and encouraged his former club Melbourne to make a "polite enquiry" to his management.

    He (Sam Weideman) needs a bit of support through there, so I would ask the question about Brody Mihocek, my very word I would

    I like the play. But we need to develop LJ. So if we do get Mihocek - how do we play Mihocek, LJ, Weed in the same forward line. Coz lets face it LJ is not playing ruck with Gawn in the team.

    Mihocek is the type of forward you can play with other talls, especially if one is as mobile and decent below the knees as Action

    i'm sorry but Luke Jackson isn't a forward. he is a ruck. 

    It doesn't take a doctor to figure out he's not rucking over max next year

    you'd rather not play LJ at all than the 3 tall forward line?

    Yeah. he is a ruck, not a forward and I don't think we can carry 3 talls in our forward line with the poor crumbers that we have. We can't rely on pickett or Spargo to even find the footy, let alone kick goals.

    It would be amazing to land him, but I doubt Collingwood would let him go. Offer him $600 k over 3 years and see if we get a bite.

    That's garbage 'Dr'...our forward line worked so much better with him in it.

    He would be a great addition.  Gathering that Pies have to pay a few like Moore/ De Goey.  The pies would not want to lose him!   Pay him 100k more a year and get him in!

    'dazz', I think he is a 3rd tall type.

    He would be competing with Melk, Fritsch and Hannan..and would be an upgrade in his attack on the ball.

    He's a bit taller but still really not a KPF.

    Not sure he's where we should be spending our chips.

    Agree. I'd do a direct swap

    As I mentioned in the Gunston thread, he’s an upgrade on Melksham/Fritsch/Hannan in every facet of the game. Worth asking the question.

    It’s surprising how many people are happy to settle with those 3 as our Pockets/Flankers.

    We should always be looking to get better and Mihocek brings a lot more physicality and consistent effort than those three, plus he actually kicks goals.

    Definitely a player we should target. Tough, good mark and kicks straight. Applies pressure too. 

    I like Gunston more, but Mihocek is out of contract and this is his chance to set himself up financially.

    Weid has kicked 19 goals in 11 games.  Mihocek 17 in 14 games.

    Having said that, Mihocek would be a handy addition to our forward line, although I think if you sniffed around enough it would just force Collingwood to up their offer and re-sign him.

    Pies have just signed Grundy on a mega deal and have De Goey and Moore out of contract. We should chase Mihocek, De Goey and Moore, as the Pies can probably only afford two.

    Why would Collingwood trade him he is their only forward. Persist with Jackson, Weideman and Petty it will pay off.

    A player you can count on to give 100% effort every single game. Why wouldn’t we enquire. An upgraded Vanders.

    • 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.

      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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
