    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 :)

    Exactly what a rumour thread is for!

    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.

    Once upon a time, I did see a rumour...

    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..

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
