Given we showed interest in Isaac Smith, would we have a discussion with Steele Sidebottom.  He has great skills and I think is a free agent.  Pies have salary cap challenges.  He probably will want a 2 year deal as a minimum.  We are in the premiership window and his experience and skill would be a welcome addition.  Risk and reward. 

No for me 

We need youth or someone between 21-27 who will develop in the next few years

Yep, you're right, just checked, he only kicked one of them with Maynard as his opponent.

Yeah, it was a funny game, the commentators pretty much banging on for an entire half on why Maynard wasn't on him before the switch

Bizarre hey? You would just automatically think that's the match up.

hibberd was fine on greene; he had 7 disposals and kicked 3 goals - he made his possessions count but barely got it and hibbo completely blanketed him

hunt was one of the the ONLY players working hard in the last quarter to try and keep us in the game; he was pinged because he got caught betwixt and between kicking for goal and setting up a teammate - it was both good (in that he wanted to do the 'team' thing) and bad (in that he didn't back himself in to kick the goal and as such got caught holding the ball)

that said...i want maynard as he perfectly suits our list and side's structure, has family history at the mfc

from all reports, cerra is definitely on the move - he is gonna command serious $$ for a player who has yet to really 'break out'

Didn't someone post that Cerra has agreed to terms with Richmond already? If he has, I wonder if he's rethinking those terms after the last few weeks.

Touk Miller is apparently in contract negotiations with Gold Coast.

 I'd put the feelers out. He's exactly what we need.

Just seen him in the lobby of the hotel I am staying at having a pretty chilled conversation with his manager. 

Off topic also walked past the entire west coast squad coping a bit of a talking to from Adam Simpson in the same lobby, a few of the players gave me a funny look as I walked past with my demons mask on.

Age Footy Podcast talking Richmond/trades. They think Cerra would be mad to go to Richmond.

Players seem to have a very myopic view of other teams and he may not have seen their decline coming...

See: Saad & Carlton

Also keen to see which payer Essendon inevitably pay big bucks to thinking they're one piece short after finishing 11th.

Saad was surely all $$$ based.

His reputation has been trashed at Carlton, the media loved reminding everyone he didn’t want to defend and couldn’t 

It wasn't. His management rebuffed our approach before an offer could be made.

We need someone who can kick straight for goal. I'm so over this bloody behind business. We needed 10 points to beat GWS last week which by our standards is 1 Goal 4 Behinds. At what stage are we going to prioritise goal kicking? Gerard Healy mentioned on  'On the Couch' about moving Petracca forward. This would be yet another example of not prioritising goal kicking as Petracca can't kick for [censored] at goal. We can't carry Fritsch, Weideman, Jackson, Gawn, Petracca, Pickett and expect to win games consistently. Every time we miss easy shots we're basically saying 'Here, take the ball, and have an inside 50 to go with it'. I'm sick of it. We either trade for it (which we did with Ben Brown but he can't make the team) or we draft for it.

There's a reason that Weightman has gone ahead of Pickett as the best small forward of the draft. He is accurate!  

Time to start prioritising it because the momentum you lose from a missed shot loses games. Our misses on the weekend were a big reason for our loss.

I feel your pain and agree with almost every word you said.

Any particular reason why?

I think he was a way down the path with Carlton before it was industry knowledge he wanted to leave Essendon, family is settled in the Northern suburbs and we probably weren't the greatest cultural fit for him.

Both Lever and Langdon we were reportedly keen on during their draft year. We obviously kept tabs on them and got into their ear for the better part of a season, if not longer, to bring them across.

It's also widely known that tried to trade our future first to target Butters I the draft but had no takers. 

Just hoping that he's one we're tracking and having a quiet word to lure him back across whether it be in a season or twos time or later. Have no idea on his contract status and Port are stubbornly efficient at keeping vic kids the don't want to lose so it's more wishful thinking than anything.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
