We'll just have to agree to disagree Dr. I actually rate Phillips and Thomas did finish last in the Grand Final sprint. Surely that closes the argument in my favour!

yeah good luck with Phillips not coming last in the grand final sprint.

Because if we don't attract the cream of the crop annually, it means my life is worthless...

We aren't interested in Josh Thomas, I can assure you all of that.

Josh Thomas biggest goal kicking season haul at Collingwood - 38

Ben Kennedy biggest goal kicking season haul at Collingwood - 9

Pretty sure Thomas is an upgrade on Kennedy and has kicked a bag of 5 goals once and a bag of 4 twice.

Exactly right - so many uneducated opinions here, Thomas is EXACTLY what we need!!! Especially with Brown coming in. Solid finisher, averagesan effective i50 tackle a game, good efficiency, smart & was still didn't picked player in a stacked smalls group at pies. Role changed this year, was played more as a def fwd hence goals tally being lower but still picked every wk when fit in a strong side. 

He and Phillips would be good gets, assuming my dream of Treloar or Menegola for the wing remains just that.

Thomas immediately makes us better and would be in at R1. Could easily kick 30+ goals in a team that has Weid/Brown combo

 

If he was 24 I'd be all for it. But at 29 and being in decline and a role player only I'd have to pass. I'd rather see us continue to get games into the likes of Pickett, Spargo, Chandler and Bedford instead as well as move Harmes into our forward set up.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
