    ✅ still in Melbourne 

    ✅ not on a 4 hour flight every fortnight 

    ✅ plays on the MCG* 

    ✅ Dees have left side wing ready and available 
     

    Surely we can sell the MFC 

    Our colours are red and blue. They’re pretty cool colours.

    If we can’t sell this over playing in purple for an entire season, we’re pretty bloody hopeless.

    This alone should convince this kid to want to choose the Dees over the Purple Headed Anchors.

    Those highlights weren't that impressive. Kicks seemed to float and didn't see much hard running to present an option.

    Amazing yes those floating kicks all floated through fir a GOAL Bingo! And in the centre of the goal too 

    and

    The others  either were goalsquare goals or pinpoint passes to leading forwards.

    My you are hard to please admittedly gut running didn't feature but his did Tom get from the wing to goal square ? Running I presume and as good as Ed Langdon is he Doesn't do that ( except miss from 15 m out in Cairns)

    no Tom will do but Narkle would also be a good get and Jordan Clark a great pick.

    Surely the biggest issue with this trade is the Pies salary space is already spread thin. We will likely pony up a portion of his first year but can the Pies squeeze him in?

    I am aware that doesn’t matter anymore - just a good story if it happens.

    Not sure about that...

    I have my Phillips’ mixed up. 
     

    Apologies to all! It’s not a good story.

    Good thing that doesn’t matter, amirite?

    And can people attending Caulfield Grammar in the last decade with the same name please be more conscious of their impact on the ill informed?

    Assuming Brown is secured I would be turning all my attention to Tom Phillips, including picking brother Ed up from the Saints on the way through who’s is OOC.  If not and we can clear some space with Tmac any half decent offer for Polec should be next port of call.

    Narkle also interests me as a worthily OOC option as well as any potential way to get Jack Sinclair out of the saints. More run and outside polish is needed once we land the big fella.

     

    Sinclair will definitely provide the Polish your after ?

    Is Phillips a better recruit than Polec? My read is Phillips is a marginally better athlete and better tackler, but Polec is a better kick. But I admit I haven’t watched either of them closely enough to give a proper view.

    I know little about Phillips but i think 90% of the comp is a better kick than Polec

    My view appears to be Philips is better 2 way runner, Polec is the faster player, Polec the better kick, Phillips the better bloke.

    Does that make Tom Browne an Israelite or fanny by the gaslight?

    It's hard to know. It's another conundrum in this thread of conflicting perspectives...

    Thanks DD36. Tom Browne meets Captain Obvious once again. I just hope the Dees hierarchy have half as much sense as Dland posters. We were on board this weeks ago. 
     

    Fellow posters and Dees fanatics- just out of interest, what would be offer for Phillips. 
     

    ? future 2021 MFC 2nd round pick ?  ?

    ? straight swap with Tmc and we pay some of Tmc contract $ ??

    ? 2020 MFC pick that we get for Preuss from GWS roughly - pick 34-35 by the time ?

    ? 2020 MFC pick that we get for Hannan from Dogs - roughly pick 50 ?

    Phillips seems like a no brainer. He is better then what we have on the wing no matter what because we only have one winger in Langdon.

    Also he's younger and i'm sure the money we had planned for Smith is much more than what Phillips would be taking right now.

    laughable to suggest that this deal is even. mcdonald is a washed up 28 year old, Stephenson is a 21 year old that has showed alot of promise. Even Buddy had his off field issues

    stepho is on big wage 500k till 2023 and they are questioning his commitment and off field stuff, they need to sacrifice some players and with young daics in next year and both brown brothers they have replacements

    Throw the kitchen sink at Phillips and Brown. 2nd round kitchen sinks - no more.  We desperately need some more outside skill.

    I think we can get a bargain with Phillips and Brown. They aren’t wanted by their clubs.
    Time to turn the screws.

    89 games with 44 goals. Averages 22 disposals a game and 2.5 tackles. Had a fairly ordinary season this year by his standards in this disrupted and truncated season. I’d jump all over him. He would be a great get and only 24 years is yet to hit his prime.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
