    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
