Could Stef Martin make his way back to the Demons? Seemingly on the outer at Brisbane and Mahoney has identified the need for a Ruck/Foward as Preuss is off to GWS. I think he'll be an option for us for a year or 2 playing 5 - 10 games a year. He will come cheap and suits our need as a backup option with good leadership and mentoring for our list.

    I am shocked that a club is declaring it will play hardball on trading two of its players away. 
    Oh wait, no I am not, it’s Bombers  on Saad and Fantasia. Dodoro the most hated list manager in the game is at it again.

    I believe so. But it could be worth getting in his ear. We will likely go deep into finals next year. It would be a nice finish for him as opposed to going to a rebuilding Essendon who's players are leaving in droves. Players at the end of their careers want success and a chance at lifting the cup.

    Let Dodoro keep the players there against their will.

    Their culture is already a mess, that would finish them off for good.

    Wow. That’s about as likely as an outsider leading all the way to win the Melbourne Cup!

    Club will be aggressive. We will have a future first round pick to trade out plus several picks we'll be able to package together which we receive from our departing players. I would be very, very surprised if Brown is the only best-22 addition we add this off season. 

    agreed we will get more picks for players we swap out. What l would like to see is quality players that are free agents wanting to come to Mfc. Top players that don’t cost us a draft pick.

    I think this is a great idea for the reasons you’ve outlined. A quality back up, smart guy and possibly wouldn’t cost too much.  For me, more preferable than McKernan.

    Stefan could also go back into defence maybe as an extra key position defender at CHB.

    Whisper of us looking at Marley Williams, delisted by Kangas.  Anyone heard that? 

    Haven't heard that, but reckon it's a great move. With Jetta on his last legs, getting another small defender in on the cheap would be smart.

    People were whinging that Mahoney hadn't done anything before the Trade period had even began, the horse has already bolted. Also, watch the same people be happy with our trading after it is all said and done. Happens every year.

    PS. I don't understand the hatred for Mahoney, I believe he's done very well in recent years.

    so now we aren't going to try and get another winger?

    we didn't get Smith and now all of a sudden our other wing is good enough - happy to be proven otherwise but I would be trying to get someone who can fill that role 

    Any word on Polec?

    Agree. We were keen on a 31yo for 3 years to fix our OBVIOUS GAP in the team. But now we will “build from within”.  
    Bi-polar is my professional evaluation!

    • 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.
