    Not sure how we engineer that from both a Salary and draft picks perspective but would love to see him in Melbourne colours.

    There’s talk of Matt Crouch possibly looking to come back to Victoria. Not exactly the class we need in the middle, because t could help out Clarrie and Trac with clearances.

    He's a Dee's fan, so surely he plays for $20 and a hot dog a game so we can fit him in right?

    Still is! You can only ever have neutral feelings for GWS, it's been scientifically proven.

    it's less rather than more likely that we can afford those key giants and their top tier talent like (the long term signed up) whitfield,  greene, kelly, coniglio, plus the really exciting green, hopper or taranto

    i'd look at their next tier of rebounding defenders like isaac cumming, or the mids like o'halloran, perryman, and bruhn

    they all look like they'll be very good afl players and all in their 'pre-contract' year, with new deals due at the end of 2022

    the players i'm still most keen on us chasing remain brayden maynard from the filth, ed richards from footscray, and jake riccardi from gw$

    Seems like Taranto can only play in the guts, though. Would push viney/Harmes/Brayshaw out further.

    And just like that Leon Cameron reads Demonland and thinks Taranto can go forward to cover for Greene and do it magnificently. This isn’t having a shot at you Mickey, also thought he was a pure mid.

    Perryman would be a nice fit for us

    Don’t pay the Perryman. Don’t even fix a price.

    Even though i never put much stock in what Journo's said, but our cap is meant to be pretty tight. We'd have to lose a fair few players surely?

    Also we lack currency currently and i imagine the club want Mac Andrew in above any free agent we can realistically nab.

  • Quote

    Just flicking it around in my head - anyone else able to enlighten me about Dylan Stephens' situation?

    Could we offer him membership in the wingers club?

  • Quote

    why do so many peope keep suggesting inside mids, like tom green isn't coming nor is he a good option for us, neither taranto or hopper either. it's our strongest position on the ground and we have youngsters who are coming through behind our 24yo "leaders" and we've got first choice mids at other clubs prepared to limit their time in there to suit the teams needs

    How can we get Finn Callaghan?

    Guy looks like an absolute weapon and would give a lot for him 

    Acquire pick 2

    Sam Weideman says hi

    Marc Murphy too

    Sam Weideman is not picked in our team for tomorrow. With TMac out it seemed perfect timing to give Sam some game time in this crucial part of the season. Melksham CHF and Sam not on the bench. You better say "Hi Sam" real soon IMHO.

    Family in Sydney I believe and see no reason he would leave this early in his career.

    What prompted it? Not watching

    Maynard would be a great get.  Not sure the Pies would accept a 2nd round pick for him.  It probably depends on whether the Weid stays.  If Weid says he’s moving on, we have more trade weight.    Pies could be tempted if we offered Weid and a future 2nd round pick.

    Stephens was taken at # 5 in the same year as Kosi and Jackson. He is suited to the centre.

    Inside or outside?

    If he gets us to the other side I would.

    What the Pies will accept I suggest will come down to how much more salary cap challenge they have left.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
