Wonder if Gary Rohan is seen as gettable now given the rumours seem to be true...

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.

@Lord Nev thanks for the update!

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

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.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
