    Fair enough. I'm not having a dig when I ask, just curious if its a rumour, or a rumour of a rumour, or a rumour³?

    Seems logical, I'd believe that 100%

    It's a rumour. nothing connected to any form of inside knowledge or anything, i've just heard it from 3 different people now who all generally know a bit about what's happening, so thought it was worth sharing :)

    Clearly they don't rate Tom Mac.

    They are looking for a key forward and this one is a youngster, while they could have had an experienced one

    right away.

    Seriously 'Red', why would they?

    It's pretty obvious our FD doesn't rate him any longer either.

    If I was them I would be going for the kid in this case.

    Good kids who play KPF are worth their weight.

    If I was North, there’d be no way I trade that pick to the Scum. Get McDonald for themselves and have him partner Larkey for the next decade.

    I wish we could resolve our Wing situation...and perhaps soon.

    You’d hope they think this way, they are not exactly flushed with KPF talent

    I meant they could have had both. One to develop and one ready to go now with experience.

    Could be funny if Tom gets his best form back.

    I would be great if he did...would make a lot of us including me look stupid but I wouldn't mind.

    Actually, if he loses more weight as he is doing and gets his foot right, there is no reason he can’t play decent footy.

    Actually, if that happens then I think it says more about the coaching than it does about TMac

    The Sounding Board today Hutchy and Barrett seemed confident Collingwood made their salary dump because they have Petracca "on the hook" for next year's free agency period.

    And by on the hook they mean they reckon Collingwood would be interested in arguably the best player in the AFL as would every other team.

    I am confident that Melbourne have Petracca on the hook and by on the hook I mean he will sign a multi-year deal with the Dees prior to the free agency period.

    Doesn't surprise me. Petracca has the Jeremy Howe about him..

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
