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.

    I love the thought that we just win flags for the list management gains! 😁

    We win flags to take our Trade period, the greatest time of the year, to a new level. How very Melbourne of us 😄

    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.

    Yep, booming kick, tough as nails. Unless he wants to go home or it's a serious upgrade, I'd like to keep him too

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
