    I can't see us wanting him, so it is allegedly a club in the premiership window, but not the Demons? Very short list.

    the obvious one is freo with lobb likely to look eastwards again and the crab not getting much luck with his body. however i wouldn't be opposed to seeing him at melbourne. he improves our side, simply. he's a better forward than tmac and a different type still to dogga and [censored] brown and as an older player flag hunting he won't ask for buckets of cash. i also back in our culture on connectedness to indigenous australia to teach him a thing or two which will be good for everybody

    3 cubits or 6 British Thermal Units, depending on which state you come from.

    It was confirmed on SEN that Gold Coast have contacted Tex Walker. But how you can define them as in the Premiership Window, I don’t know.

    I’m torn about this. If it was about pure skill  and impact. He is what we need right now as we don’t have time to wait for JVR or others to develop. Walker is a great CHF. Does he have it in him for another 1-2 years? He would be pretty cheap too I’d imagine

    it’s his history and character that could destabilise our culture. The stuff he said to Lever can be worked through but his recent indiscretions and racist remarks is a bit harder to swallow. But everyone deserves a second chance.

    If he is after a final Contract, that may take him deep into September, he has to behave, otherwise he is out the door. I would make it very easy to understand

    Walker is worth considering

    I realise you're only being serious*, but there are problems with this scenario.

    1.  He can't play for us this year so won't be part of 2022's back to back.

    2.  If he plays in our 2023 premiership team, we would have gone back to back to back.

    3.  If we don't win it this year but go back to back in 2023 and 2024, Tex will be about 45 years old by then.

    It's all too difficult to envisage and therefore unlikely for mine.

    * This post is equally as serious.

    Not a great example to use!

    The 2006 crows should have won the flag that year but self imploded.  They were 1st on the ladder when the McLeod/Edwards feud exploded and then lost something like 5  games in a row and just managed to keep 2nd spot with a win in the final game (against who else but us!). Then they crashed out in a home preliminary final.

    Not saying having players that hate each other  was the cause but it sure didn’t help judging by how quickly that season went south when the feud went public (it got worse post season and in 2007).

     Culture is everything. This is not the early 2000s. 
    It is vitally important that whoever comes into the club fits into the culture. Walker might be a good player but he would be a poor cultural fit. 
     

    A club which just renamed itself after its indigenous name is not going to go after a guy who was banned for a racial slur.

    He just might be a good boy living in Melbourne. I am not advocating we get him, but it should be looked at very seriously. Walker kicks big goals, and our forward line is far from settled

    I don’t thnk Mcleod and Edwards were the reason the Croms choked. They did it more than once. I often worked with people I didn’t like, but particularly during Live Shows i still respected what their role was and did my part in the chain

    This is spot on. Him in his current or last years form, BB and Bailey in the same forward line. Try stopping that. 
     

    On the flip side… I think Roos’ no [censored] policy also set us on the right path. 
     

    Tex is more a [censored] than he is worth vs him as a player IMO.

    I’m a big believer in second chances also but geez… he’s a hand grenade to bring into our club especially.

    Tex would be a better option than  Weid . Could be a big help to Van Rooyen. Worth considering if the price is right.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
