Are we still going for Polec or is that off the table?

Merrett is there any substance in it?

We still after Ben.Brown and Isaac.Smith?

Who else are we after ? Tarrant, Hurley maybe?

    Out of interest, who would be your preference out of Cameron, Brown and Wright?

    Brown Cameron's on too much and Wright hasn't shown anything.

    Both would be good but it wopuld have to be Gunston kicks more goals. Can't see Collingwood letting Mihocheck go.

    Would definitely look at Hurley as the linkman/swingman if possible

    Apparently Saints and Bombers are into Caldwell from GWS. I hope we throw our hat in the ring if he wants to come home to Vic. I’m a fan, got potential to be a well rounded midfielder.

    Would we go big for Jeremy Cameron? 

    I think not only do we need a big forward, we need a big signing! need some way to sell some hope to members that 2021 is gunna be better.

    Essendon probably thinking the same think at this point. I don’t know why we wouldn’t at least make a pitch.

    With all of the comings and goings in the football world, I would really like to hear a player of substance come out and say that Melbourne’s the club of his choice.

    Talented but being a touch underwhelming for mine and it's a harder sell to crack our midfield than the teams chasing him. I think we'd have to trade someone out to show him a path to games (and to free up the cash and picks). Probably cost our earliest pick this year and more, I'd probably rather give JT a chance in the draft

    Agree. If we can shed some TPP by moving on some players that in my opinion are surplus to our needs in Tmac and Brayshaw, we should go hard for Cameron.

    I think there is no question that Brayshaw will be on the table if clubs ask about him.  Cameron is a good player, I doubt we are in the mix for him but who knows the Giants need to start worrying about losing young players that are early picks due to paying to much to keep players, they might be prepared to lose Cameron and keep 2-3 developing players instead of these kids looking elsewhere.

    Agree on Brayshaw, not certain on cameron. I know he is a good player but would prefer someone with a bit more aggresion. That said would be happy to do that swap.

    Mihocek is out of contract so if Collingwood can't afford him which they can't unless they move on someone they can't just "not let him go" because he will just join another club that will give him a payday through the pre season draft and Collingwood get nothing. If we move on Preuss and Tmac we will have enough money for Cameron, that would be my play. Not keen on Ben Brown at all because he wouldn't fit well with Weid, both are immobile full forwards, we need a mobile CHF to go with Weid. If we can't get a Cameron or Gunston I'd be fine with backing in Tmac to slim down and take back that position.

    SEN reporting Carlton are "keen" on De Goey and have room for one more big name after Williams and Saad.

    What an efficient period that may be for them if they can get them all over the line. Although i am sure it would create some cap issues. 

    Hopefully we can pull off another missing piece of the puzzle this period. 

    Which teams below us on the ladder are you most worried about for 2021?

    Collingwood would rather [censored] in their hands and clap then allow De Goey to walk to the old enemy

    Polec no go.

    Nothing heard about Merrett.

    Smith a very good chance to be a Demon. Brown a chance, but not a big one yet - Price is reasonable, but injuries a barrier.

    Don't know we'll do much other than Smith tbh. We apparently just don't have the wriggle room atm.

    Gunston has re-signed IIRC

    Hasnt committed to anything yet. IMO unlikely he leaves, but maybe YZE can put in a good word for him...

    If we're right at the edge of our cap, surely we're doing everything in our power to jettison some of the deadwood elsewhere? Just cannot see how this list recovers to even challenging for a decent finals position with the pieces we have now. Seems like extremely poor list management if we've backed ourselves into a spot where we cant even make finals with zero room to bring quality players in during the off season or even shed players that aren't required.

    I don't know if we're right at the egde, don't know enough specifics, sorry! Just know we don't have the space for a big fish type of player currently. I mean, there could be a player that requests a trade out that we don't see coming, but as far as I've heard we're more looking at decent free agents atm rather than any particular big trade target. I only ever hear a few bits and pieces tho, so quite likely there's plenty going on I have absolutely no idea about, this time of year everything is a bit up in the air somewhat.

    My opinion is that the feeling is the improvement will come more from off field things next year.

    Disappointed re Polec. Do have any info re what blocked that move?  Was it the money he wanted, what North wanted in exchange or just a lack of interest on our part?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
