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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
