    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!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
