    Fritsch has played the med forward role so well this year. Injury and age profile aside, do we even need Gunston? I don't think so

    We'd have a very old forward line.

    Gunstun - 30

    Tom McDonald - 29

    Ben Brown - 29

    So a few years with us then off to the cats you’re saying?

    If he gets his body right I can see him playing good footy for us for the next 2 years. 

    Right in our window.

    Can anybody name a 29 year old trade success story that won premierships after they've had multiple surgeries?    ........

     

    Crickets....

     

    It's just terrible business when we have spent the last 3 years being incredibly  savvy

    I don't like this.

    I don't mind recruiting for the now, but 3 plus 30 players in our forward line will leave a huge gap in 3 years time if Weed leaves (which I'd say is a monty). They may think of moving Petty there when Tomlinson comes back, but there are too many maybes in play for mine.

    It's a no for me.

    Nothing in the article is factual and the club declined to comment? Yeah well Tom with the disproportionately large large head, we’re about to embark on a finals series you muppet.

    Stuart Dew came back from a year out of the game and i would think numerous hamburgers, moved to Hawthorn and won a premiership.

    *Aged 29 when he mmoved to Hawthorn

    If Gunston is fit (club staff would know better than any of us) and if we can get him for peanuts it's a good pickup to win now, which is what we want to do. Weid's gone if this does happen though.

    Brown, T. Mac and Gunston in rotation is tasty, considering i imagine all 3 will pick up knocks.

    Don't think he was.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theage.com.au/sport/afl/star-cut-as-dogs-look-to-youth-20110504-1e8g8.html

    Articles mentions surgeries to hip, shoulders and knee massively impacting his final season at the dogs.

    Still, examples are fairly few and far between and Gunston would be subject to an in-depth medical.

    James Podsiadly? Wasn’t he traded to Geelong at 29yo? I know he played in the 2011 gf and I’m sure he was their leading goal kicker that year. But can’t remember if he carried injuries that required surgery. 
    But yeah, few and very far between.

    Not sure how cheaply he'd come. He's a gun when fit but I'm a bit wary on this. He's not a free agent is he?

    Edit: he is not

    He (Dew) probably needed surgery when he got to the Hawks - stomach surgery.  (When Clarkson picked him didnt he ring and ask if they had seen a recent photo)

    Let's do a deal: If Melbourne win the premiership you have to get a tattoo of a cricket with Ben Brown's number 50 on it's back!

    :laugh:

    Surgery is irrelevant if he’s rehabilitated and ready to go. Also, he can play back, forward, wing, he’s just a terrific footballer. Multiple premierships and we’d be getting him for peanuts, so would be crazy not to take him on if he’s keen and fit.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
