Yes, Danger spent most of the 3rd quarter chatting with the goal umpire. Their most damaging player. In the GF!

    With Geelong forming a dad's army with Higgins and Smith, maybe we can pry a quality young player out that may be starved of opportunity either this year or next. Maybe Clark? Would love for them to fall off a cliff with an ageing list and then lose their young talent in the process.

    Smith is a double agent, Alastair Clarkson has sent him to Geelong so he can age their list, a young player will either get delisted, or not get games, and rot on the vines. Smith is finished, he's disposal efficiency for this season has dropped by a whopping 8% from his career average, that is the first sign of a ageing player, who can not run all day and execute his skills at a high level. This season he would play a great game and then not fire a shot for the next 4 games. higgings is 32 he had a few injuries this season, his body is finished, he will breakdown.

    Jed Anderson from North is still out of contract. Pacey midfielder. Anything going around about him @Dr evil?

    His management are telling teams he's staying at North Melbourne. not sure what the hold up is on his extension but he's not gettable at this stage.

    Will Powell of interest...?

    What's a bigger disaster for the cats, signing Smith, (who i still believe is coming to the Dees) and losing Menegola. or not starting Dangerfield in the middle at the start of the 3rd quarter in the grand final?

    I am either missing the /jk tag or else you believe ISmith could still be headed our way - do you still think this? If so, interesting. What would make that series of events occur?

    @Dr evil besides Sideshow Bob joining us, do you have any updates at all on who we are targeting? Love your work chief

    Mahoney reckons we are done with Brown likely to be the only trade IN and likely to get 3 or 4 players traded out. 
     

    FFS. WE NEED OUTSIDE RUNNERS.
    A WINGMAN (Phillips) AND MAYBE ANOTHER PACY SMALL FORWARD (Hind) 

    We must push the button now or we may go backwards again

    @Lord Nev thank you for the update. If we're looking at Treloar, would Tmac to the filth be apart of that deal do you think?

    I don't think we're looking at Treloar. Haven't heard anything to suggest it.

    You'd have to ask Dr Evil about that one.

    Yes let's get this back on topic hey?

    The ruck/forward role was interesting from Mahoney. We've interviewed a few potential prospects already. I'm guessing Shaun McKernan is one. Wonder who else We've spoken to?

    Yeah i certainly did find that interesting. felt like he was putting the message out to managers of fringe players who play that role who might be looking for another club. I can't imagine it being anyone better than fringe as we wouldn't wanna take game time away from the big 3

    Doesn’t Ben Brown solve this as a third option? McKernan makes sense also.

    Brown doesn't ruck.

    Agree. It will take a lot of guts to come in for this role, especially when you have Weid, Brown Nd Jackson already ahead.

    I'd imagine if no options come forward we may keep Mitch Brown for another year?

    Purely guessing:

    Nathan Vardy (likely stays at Eagles if Hickey goes to the Swans)
    Max Lynch - out of contract Collingwood ruck
    Sam Hayes - 3rd in line to ruck at Port
    Callum Coleman-Jones - Tigers could dump him for poor behaviour
    Majak
    Wylie Buzza - delisted by the Pies

    Yeah you might be on the mark with some of those names.

    Is Mason Cox an option..maybe as part of a two way package deal?

    I doubt it, I think we'd want someone cheaper, with a bit more appetite for the ruck and probably younger (which goes against McKernan)

    Cox's contract is apparently backloaded. He'll be on $600k+ next year. Can't see us paying anywhere near that for him

    • 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.
