    That Lachie Neale fellow is better than I thought. Apparently won the Dally M award last year, too.

    Smart move ... I would say I was staying too if I wanted to the media to back off when there is no certainty that I and my current club can / will  come to terms with Freo ... lets see what happens over the trade period however

    Hell no. 

    We need to look internally and to the draft. 

    Don't need any players that aren't A-Class' players

    Mitch Robinson has to build some bridges after his dummy spit. Will feel like a real goose - which he is.

    I thought it's been established as a fake account...if not does it disqualify Mitch from winning the Dally M?

    I didn’t know. I thought it was strange. So I take it back - everything except the goose reference which I still think is apt.

    I'm really interested in the reported pursuit of Adam Cerra for a few reasons, 

    1. we wouldn't make an approach if we didn't realisitically think we could get a deal done

    2. what role is he going to play? is the intention for him to play on the opposite wing to Langdon? 

    It seems to me that our 2022 first round pick, pick 36 and a fringe player or pick swap could be a reletively okay deal, but Freo will push hard for Jackson or Rivers to be included

    Every time there's a potential trade, people seem to forget it doesn't have to be a straight swap between two clubs. Third and fourth parties often get involved. Using Cerra purely as an example, we could trade some handy but (for us) depth players to another club in return for an early draft pick that then finds its way to Freo.

    Just a couple of little snippets I have is that Geelong & Richmond are looking at Tarrant from Kangas.  Swans unlikely to now have the salary cap for Barrass from WCE, who was interested in moving to Sydney for family reasons. 
     

    My mail is that Cerra told a close contact of mine that he really believed he was meeting with Dees to just “tick a box” but now he is genuinely considering them.

    Is the box he’s ticking the one next to “play for a good team who currently has a coach and a chance in hell?”

    The box ticking was from his psychiatrist to approve a move to Carlton and sign of on his mental health he had to meet with a well run club so he could ensure he made a rational decision.

    They are tricky them shrinks…

    Mustn’t be many key defenders around. Tarrant played 10 games this year and is 32. Wouldn’t have much left in him you’d think

    I think the attraction is Tarrant might be interested in moving if it's to a club that may play finals and he would be relatively cheap.  Also worth keeping in mind that his 10 games was affected by a very unusual medical issue and not necessarily his body failing him.

    Geelong interested in a 32 year old - he's right in their demographic recruiting window - a likely replacement for Lachie Henderson who hasn't been great this finals series; they would not have much salary cap room either.  List is about to fall off a cliff - roll of the dice.

    Richmond - Astbury replacement - not as dire as Geelong's list, but reloading for 1 more tilt while they still have Cotchin, Riewoldt and Dusty can still do Dusty things.   If I was Tarrant and the motivation to move was success this is who I would choose.

    Hold the front page! Melbourne is now considered to be a well run club!

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
