I think their window has now passed given their age demographic.  Cameron's choice of destination, given his age, is a very poor one imv.

Awesome ?

    Sad to see Gary Jnr end his career. Best player I’ve ever seen. Best player in the league from 2007-2014. 2 Browlows. 5 time MVP. 8 time All Australian.

    Congratulations Gary. Superstar!

    Pity he chased money. He would have at least one more flag bid wager he’d have 4 medals. 
    amazing player but why he went to Gold Coast in his prime only he can answer

    Very hard to split Dangermouse, paul newman and Cotchin for the best free kick of the game competition.

    But Jack won the best "look at me" award.....

    He’ll regret it if he doesn’t already. Be a millionaire at the cats and win more flags or get more money at the suns and play in front of 5K fans

    What struck me was the certainty hardwick had at half time that he had fixed the set up problems of the first half. Amazing. We are a mile off. Hope Yze and others can make a difference to our planning on the run.

    I’d just like to thank the folks on here for pointing out that we passed on Dusty twice in the draft. 

    I had no idea!

    Hats off to the Tigers, who I hate with a passion. Their work as a club and a team over the past 5 seasons is amazing. They won tonight with betteer team play, winning significant moments, and having Dusty wandering around outclassing everyone.

    Ablett jr: I put him up there with Matthews, Ablett snr, and Carey as the best players I have seen. And among this group, he is definitely the most complete. If you rated all the skills of th game, her would be 8.5+ for each of them. The others in my list rarely tackled, shepherded or did the defensive stuff. Ablett jnr did. Absolute star and footy is less for him leaving.

    Dusty is a freak. His kicking skills are up there with Jarman and Trav Johnstone. His balance and ability to stay on his feet whether running, marking, being tackled are magical. just so strong over the footy.

    On Dusty, I know a few people at Castlemaine FC (I grew up nearby) and I was talking to someone on the committee when Dusty was there. At 16yo, as training was finished, Dusty would be out there alone for another 1/2 half hour taking shots from all along the 50m arc, with both feet on the run and from set shot. They had to ask him to finish up to turn the lights out. At 17 you, he could beat many senior footballers one-on-one. Absolute gun - love watching him.

    But bl***y hell, if we don't win flag soon I'm going to explode. So tired of seeing every other half-arsed club and player winning flags.

    Anyone putting Dangerfield and Dusty in the same conversation need to stop. He is so far ahead. Danger had a poor game. Dusty loves the big stage

    hawkins is another who choked. Marked close to goal and played on for a snap? Take your time and take  the pressure

    For those saying we passed on dusty, stop complaining. We didn't have any leadership back then like a cotchin to take under his wing and he would have left us years ago when we were a rabble. 

    He would have got so frustrated with us.

    Tragic. We are now at the stage where we think we did well by not taking the best player.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
