Amazed that the Treloar deal didn't get done. 

It’s done to the dogs

    Looks like Caldwell and Cameron made it, but Treloar and Dunkley didn't.

    So glad the Dogs held on to Dunkley.  Still has two years to run on his deal and the Bombers were arrogant enough to just offer one first round pick.  Dogs stuck to their guns and they've now got two years to turn things around, which they are more than capable of doing.

    There was absolutely no way the pies and Treloar could have gone on next year

    Wow, so the Dogs' midfield next year will be Botempelli, Macrae, Hunter, Smith, Libba, Dunkley and Treloar.

    That is...insane.

    Plus Stefan Martin in the ruck to actually be a ruckman (improving on English).

    Apparently it did get done?

    I’m sure the AFL stepped in with Treloar, the CBA allows for grievances to be lodged but it sounds messy especially when so public.

    Well if we lose Oliver next year we'll be knocking on their door to land Dunkley.

    Dogs North and Hawthorn have taken advantage of the pies fire sale. Good on them. We’re done well overall, I’m not complaining but I can’t help feeling that’s we’ve missed a trick. Phillips for 65 was cheap as chips and he filled such an obvious need.

    Man Dunkley won’t be happy. And he’ll have even less midfield time now. Ouch

    I don’t know but I would guess the 500K for Phillips was the issue. Hawks have to pay the min cap but it would put us out of whack

    I wonder if it could have been us snatching Treloar at the death if we'd been able to offload Tom. Oh well, they say everything happens for a reason.

    Wonder if we can snare pick 13 from GWS for 19+28

     

    Go in with 13 and 18

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
