Would rather Phil Matera. That bloke always killed us ?

Sure did. Averaged 3+ goals a game against us - more than he did against any other club.

Ben Brown or Jesse Hogan? Who do you go for? It sounds like both would come relatively cheaply.

Good question! Lean towards Hogan because if he's not kicking bags he can still run and get up the ground but you do worry about those injuries.

Don't think Brown will be that cheap. Still a good player, despite the ridiculous hair and run in for set shot. Had a few issues this year, from what others have said here. Jesse is a spent force.

I think we should have a crack at Riley Collier-Dawkins. I know inside mid isn't what we need but this kid is a big body with legspeed and a heap of potential. If we're been bold and willing to let go of Viney or others we shouldn't be afraid to make a few offers.

Worst case scenario is it keeps Richmond honest and ups what they have to pay him.

 

Really remember we have Jacko!!!

You can't push him out the door and then expect the world for him.

Jesse may well be done.

Who the hell knows A F!

I don’t think Norf will trade Brown for less than late 1st or early 2nd. But they have certainly mistimed his trade value peak. Last year he probably would've got them top 10 pick.

A big if, but if he improves our forward line significantly, our pick 22 might get him. Remembering 22 will end up being about 30 with all the academy/fs/FA compo picks

I love the idea of a Hogan return but can you imagine Peter Bell allowing a fair trade value after spending so much to get him there?

Touring Brisbane today.

Supposedly it’s rubbish that he is touring Brisbane due to the hub restrictions.  Daniher would be out of the hub and therefore not allowed to meet with a team currently playing.

I’d like to see us make a try for Alex Witherden from the Lions. Seemingly out of favour with Fagan. Would fit in perfectly to MFC as the small defender to replace Jetta.  He had excellent skills, good pace and composure.  Offer a nice 3 year deal and perhaps a pick acquired in a potential Preuss trade.

i'm all for this too

from memory his last deal with the bears was quite a big one; will we be able to afford him?

My preference is Lockhart to replace Jetta! Heart for heart!

Which are?

Rumours about Jesse Hogan.

Less well known of Newton's Laws and one of the least useful of the 'universal constants' in physics.

What are the rumours? Enlighten us all. There is that much stuff made up about players at this time of year, so why not just spell it out? Is it that you think he is coming back to the city of Melbourne

I think @Demons11 had some mail around Jesse being available in one of the threads, any updates?

Haven’t heard anything since last week.  I’ll keep you updated if I hear something.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
