little interest for weed now that coleman-jones has nominated north and krueger wants to go to the filth

i reckon he'll stay on a one year deal with us, similar to that which narkle is signing at the cats

then it's make it or not in 2022

Do you think Freo could be after him after all  they got rid of Hogan and never replaced him.

    no, there's no demand for weed whatsoever at this point

    I'm not against keeping Weed on a 2 year deal. Gives us some depth with a young enough player on not huge money who could still turn things around. And if he does, he puts himself in a great position after the 2023 season as a free agent.

    If he doesn't turn things around then we can delist him or  let him walk then. Plus hopefully we draft a young key forward this off season, who by then would of had 2 years under their belt and will be ready to take the next step!

    Scott's coaching panel is getting thin. 

    Matthew Knights has gone to Eagles, Corey Enright off to the Saints.  Now Voss (if he gets the Carlton gig) has his eyes on Nigel Lapin.  And there have been a few articles that Matthew Scarlett may be moving on.

    From an outside view the coaching panel has looked insular.  Scarlett, Enright and Lapin have only known the 'Geelong way' for the entirety of their coaching careers. Scarlett and Engright were ex Cats players. And both Lappin and Scott come from the Leigh Matthews stable of players.

    So Scott will not only need to rebuild the playing list he will need to rebuild his coaching panel at a time when availability is low, having already found new homes.  Not to mention he has to do something with his out dated game plan.

    He has had it fairly easy as a coach.  Took over a multi premiership team.  Had to do very little development of his player-turned-coaches.  Is he ready to do the really hard work?  I have my doubts.

    Based on this article, Scott won't be calling the shots:  chris-scott-contract-offseason-changes-coaches-leaving-steve-hocking-new-ceo-age-of-playing-list

    It is late September and I'm trawling through a trade rumours thread looking for distraction.

    Good to know some things don't change.

    That flag is going to be massive for list management. You watch the FAs and the stars line up now.

    Don't be surprised if Cerra nominates Melbourne in the coming days. Ralph is a muppet.

    Also now is the time to put big long contracts in front of Oliver and Jackson. 
    When I say now I mean right now. They’re very drunk. It’s a good way to get them to agree to terms.

    My priorities:

    1. Sign up our 2022 out of contract players (Jackson, ANB, etc.).
    2. That is all.

    For the first time ever, I don't otherwise care about the trade period. Take whatever picks we have to the draft.

    My only real priority would be to get a Hibbo replacement. A lock down medium defender with pace. We can probably go the draft for that. But also we are prime to just pick talent from other clubs so why not.

    The suggestion of him going back to Adelaide has been floating around for a while now. Then a poster said we could lose a couple fringe-22 players (not of the 2019 crop) in our pursuit of Cerra. But letting him go would be a big mistake in my opinion.

    Sparrow could go somewhere for more midfield minutes, but he now goes down in history as a Melbourne premiership player!! Hopefully he stays. The lure of being part of some sustained success is here.

    From the available footage, not impressed with Gerra at all. Gone completely missing every time the Google search heats up.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

      The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
