Worth having a crack IMO.

 

Not for me.  Another medium forward.  He is quick but he's not defensive.  I'd rather play Fritsch.

Ok, so getting back to footy... This is second hand info, passed onto me by someone who has spoken to family of players. Harmes has been chased by North this trade period. Roosy has been mak

For those interested I am hearing that we’d be very keen to have a chat to Adam treloar. If the pies are willing to pay a decent chunk of his salary we’d see him as a fit on the opposite wing to Langd

hey @Lord Nev what's the info with Rohan? I haven't heard anything.

Won't go into too much detail, but there was a rumour about Rohan and a very popular Cats teammate getting into a heated argument, possibly even coming to blows, following some inappropriate behaviour by Rohan while in the hub.

Some info has come out today that gives a bit of cred to those rumours. I'm just wondering out loud if that could mean he might be gettable.

You could play both IMO. And I think we maybe get too obsessed with defensive aspects in the forward line sometimes (myself included). I wouldn't call Lynch or Martin defensive, but the Tiges make it work because they have great pressure everywhere. We need to score. That's currently our biggest weakness for mine.

Rohan would be ahead of Hannan (who's gone anyway), Melksham, ANB, Hunt & Spargo atm.

Rohan possibly has the worst finals record in history.

If you can't perform in finals you're as useful as a cold pie.

Kicked 3 goals in the prelim this year.

Besides, if he's playing for Melbourne what does it matter if he doesn't always play well in finals...

Believe a big cat was very upset with him and to be fair he deserved what he copped.

I agree dazzle we need to improve thr list, would be interesting to know what the cats would accept.

But unlikely to happen.

I wouldn't go near Rohan. It's hard enough working out whether a guy that can kick goals consistently in Fritsch canactually be afforded to play forward when he doesn't tackle. Not only does Rohan not kick goals consistently, he doesn't tackle consistently either.

Would rather a high pressure small forward than an inconsistent athletic medium marking forward that plays out of the goal square. We already have Fritsch, Hunt, Melksham and Petracca that can fill that role. I don't see him as an upgrade on any of these players. And if he has behavioural issues that is causing punch-ons with his own teammates in season then I don't want him anywhere near our club.

Dunno why Lord Nev is trying to keep something posted on bigfooty hush hush. Here's a bit more to the rumour: 

https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/finals-club-in-turmoil-player-affair-with-female-staff.1248832/

Pretty disappointing if true, didn't he and his wife lose a baby recently? 

Mainly because I'm more interested in talking the footy stuff than the players personal lives.

One very new Demon and Significant other would not approve of a Rohan arrival at the Dees.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
