Gerard Healy currently giving praise to Melbourne's talent finders for drafting Oliver, Trac and partic for finding McVee (said Juddy is just about the best kick in the league) and for trading for Lever and May

Though he did give a levelling backhander for picking Weid above Curnow and McKay

Maybe Gerard might even don a red n blue scarf if we make the GF, being Demon alumni and all. Won't hold my breath, though

not if it's against his beloved bloods he won't

I think the poster is referring to the contract being up, not that JT is necessarily moving on.

Although I could be wrong...

Yes, no suggestion at all heโ€™s leaving. Just that that contract was signed after the premiership. So heโ€™ll be in for a renewal soon.ย 
ย 

it has to be an open cheque book because if we donโ€™t give him that, 17 other clubs would!ย

BUMP!

Sorry, no news!

Can anyone advise when his contract expires?

I thought it was this year but desperately hope I'm wrong!

Even if it is next year, hope we extend his contract soon.

Heโ€™s probably had enough, due for a new challenge maybe

Think I'll wait and see how things pan out.

I'm not convinced he is a super urgent signing.

If you look back at our recent drafts, the last draft where he absolutely nailed it was 2019.

Since then we have misspent first round picks on the likes of Laurie, Van Rooyen, Jefferson and Tholstrup.

It's probably not much fun being a talent spotter when your only opportunities to draft players are in the first round and your dumbass list manager has traded away all the later picks.

Everyone has seen the top 20 players a million times over and we can all identify that the Langfords and Lindsays of the world are going to be quality players.

The real skill, and presumably the real satisfaction, comes from identifying the diamonds in the rough that everyone else has overlooked. He has not had that opportunity in the past four years.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is considering his options elsewhere.

Kelly O was at a TAC cup game on the weekend with some impressive talent on display including Harry van Hattum and Kai Parker.

I donโ€™t think any major footy dept re signings or decisions will occur until we have a new coach, they might want to bring their own people and so on. Though I do very much hope JT stays with the club as I feel heโ€™s done a very good job


Been our recruitment manager since 2012. That's a long time. Given the uncertainty and change at the club, I wouldn't be surprised if he looks for a new challenge or we seek out a fresh recruitment leader.

He's done a great job and built the core of our premiership team. That said he's had a few misses the past few years IMO, some of them in the first round, and you have to nail those early picks. They're the easy ones, the elite talent, the game changers you build around. In years past that was the likes of Petracca, Oliver, Brayshaw, Jackson, Salem, Pickett.
Jury is still out, but we've had some less successful high selections in recent years such as Laurie, Tholstrup, Jefferson that we traded up to take. The fact they haven't come on to even cementing a spot, let alone impacting games, is a big reason for our drop off IMO.

Would prefer he stay, but not the end of the world if he goes at this point I think.

Re; Tholstrop, We took him at #13 but not many have really kicked on yet in this #13-#45 bracket.
Darcy Wilson went at #19 and he's in and out.
Stand outs probably Logan Morris at #31 and then Shaun Mannagh at #37.
Seemingly lots of TBC in that draft.

Getting talent to the club is one thing, developing them is the other factor. There has been a lot of footy dept changes in the last 3 to 4 years. Cause and effect factor possibly.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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.

    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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
