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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
