    Gus didn't strike me as the type to lose sleep at night about losing. I understand the issues about being played out of position, though.

    Given it seems we've signed Viney, you'd think it'd be difficult to fit Gus in if we're also looking at any other mids on the market/convincing them to pursue a trade with us.

    You would, why would that surprise me, but it is not gunna happen

    I hope not. Brayshaw would eat Polec for Breakfast. Polec is not that good and is bad news. Forr me Brayshaw has more upside remembering he came 3rd in the Brownlow only 2 years ago.

    Hi Rab. He phoned D’Orazio who is his Manager on Saturday night. I genuinely believe Christian loves the Club and probably loves every single person in it, however, I suspect that Christian genuinely believes he’s built for Grand Finals and has a burning desire to play in a FEW before he’s finished and might have just had some doubts.

    He’s contracted for two years so that’s that, however, I’d be very worried that if the Dees aren’t a GENUINE Premiership contender at the end of this Contract, he won’t finish his career at the Dees.  Time will tell. 

    I think you may be stretching things a bit too  far now, but you are likely to suck a lot in.

    This has been my worry for several years now. We are never going to win a flag if every time we start to build a list we lose a key player.

    Who have we lost recently? Like the last 4 years?

    Please don't say Jesse Hogan. Pick 6 for him was a steal. He's spent 

    Watts? Nah!

    I would consider Polec for Brayshaw

    Norf has screwed us enough over the past 10 or so years, I'd rather not let them do it at the trade table.

    Keep losing, wasting everyones time and all our guns will leave. The past two years are enough losing.

    Note, I said consider. Beyond that identicial disposals over career as well as player rating. One is a mid we cant fit into a midfield lacking variety and another is outside creativity and run. How stupid of me to consider a trade like that.

    One would be moving to his 4th club, which shows he has some major flaws.   The only way this works if Nth passed over the pick we gave them last year

    From a list management perspective Clarry and Trac are must keep at all costs. They are our match winners and game breakers. From an inside mid perspective I’d say Brayshaw Viney and Harmes (although played out of position) are tradeable. 
    I think Gus most likely to move on. Then Harmes back in the midfield mix to run with and block etc for Clarry and Trac. Our best starting midfield is Gawn Clarry Trac and Viney.

    Brayshaw is a must keep. If Clarry or Trac get injured to have him there is a need. They should be looking at resting both those up guys forward more next year and while running Brayshaw through the middle. Having Clarry or Trac playing out of the goal square at times will only help Weid and Jackson.

    Brayshaw has much more upside than Polec.

    My brother an avid Nth supporter, says Polec is good but slowing down and losing his speed and run.

    If we did this trade we would regret it.

    Would rather than Harmes than Gus.He has a higher footy IQ and is a much better player.

    The bottom 6 are slop, selection is all over the shop, game plan ? and over offering recruits that under perform. 
    Players talk..if you want success as a player you would think twice about staying at MFC. 
    Not surprising really.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
