    Get it done, bombers need inside mids perhaps we can trade one of ours as a direct swap. Sparrow and a pick or a Brayshaw / Viney

    I think you'll find ANB was playing that defensive tagging role on him.

    Did you see who he had upfield to kick to?

    I know he is quick, can break lines and is generally a neat kick. What impressed me yesterday was his one on one work. If we can get him he will be an automatic selection and will complement Salem nicely across half back. Could also go some way to solving our small defender problem as we often get torched by opposition small forwards.

    Didn’t think that much of him yesterday to be honest. Seems to just burst out of blocks and make it up as he goes Sam Frost style.

    Not sure that manic movement is what we need. Salem was awesome yesterday and really stood out with his composure and skills. Same with Rivers and these are the type of players we need not Saad in my opinion.

    Agree won some good one on ones.  I'm a fan.

    admittedly i was a few beers in.. but i feel like i was trying to focus on his output.. oh well, who knows. i'm not against getting saad by any means, but just don't want to sign another player with average skills, if he's got em, great

    There was a view expressed in the media (sorry can't remember who) that if Saad leaves Essendon it will be because he wants to go to a club that is going to challenge soon (so won't be to North).

    Recall seeing some articles stating that was his reason, it kind of seems like a reason to give for leaving that doesn’t  directly throw the coaching staff or administration under the bus. Him saying that though does say a fair bit about the direction he thinks the club is heading, though.

    Saad would have some sort of relationship with Steven May right?

    Richmond has asked about Adam Saad. He isn’t gone yet by any stretch. Demons don’t seem very keen at all despite speculation he is on his way there. Fantasia considering his future. Dons fans would you be upset if he went home?

    Similar to Williams, is a good player but not worth the money that is being floated around. Happy to put @dazzledavey36 in charge and pursue Merrett.

    Wouldn't think so given he's a practicing Muslim...

    Sadly Bomberblitz Ralph probably has good connections on this one.

    Gotta love this time of year though.

    If Houli plans to retire, it's the perfect inclusion.

    Don't we need a winger/outside mid or a small and tall forward

    Why are we looking at this guy

    Salems' position?

    Would he replace  Hibbo?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
