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!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
