If I was Sydney I’d tell Buddy to go.

You've got Amartey and Logan McDonald plus another 1-2 years out of Reid. 

Buddy has already made 10 million plus from footy, but clearly that’s not enough. So along with his wife tell the club he wants more money, than he’s leaving, now makes out he’s the bigger man and is putting talks on hold. Comical at best. Id be using the money to secure all of their young talent. As good as Buddy has been it’s time to move on.

    2023 Dee’s forward line 

     

    Koz.          Naughton / Larkey (either one).   ANB

    Fritsch.           J.Kennedy.      Spargo 

     

    Emerg:   TMac, BB, JVR (replace JK in 2024)

    This is unbelievably awful.

    Would not say no to Larkey at all but i reckon we have diddley squat chance of getting him if Norf pull off the coup of getting Clarkson.

    In saying that if he wants to play finals and we place a nice contract in front of him he might be tempted.

    We definitely need a Key Forward that is not injury prone and is entering his peak, everything Weed was suppose to be.

    WCE cant trade their first pick coz they havent used two in a four year cycle

    What they can do is pick 1 or 2 plus second rnd pick to Dogs for dogs first round pick.

    I think the rule is they have to have a first round pick

    The dogs may look at this not sure if he is a rfa next year, if he is maybe a other early pick for the dogs to add to there FS, NGA picks over last 2 Drafts.

    Cane Cornes saying Melb should be trying to drag Kennedy out of retirement isn't crazy.

    2 years, one with coaching involved.  Tell him we will manage him throughout the year and aim for about 10 games.

    it's pretty crazy and wont happen, but I'm not against it.  could be a handy coach to get in too.

    Gee 10 games? 

    I guess it still beats 10 games of having nothing.

    If Josh Kennedy didn't want to retire, he'd still be playing at West Coast.  Can't see him coming to Melbourne.

    My wife’s convinced that she heard the commentary team mention something about Naughton leaving during the Dogs Dockers game yesterday. I missed it and it was well before I read @chook fowler’s post.

    He’d certainly improve our forward line in multiple areas. Naughton’s contested marking is much publicised, but he is mobile and good with fwd pressure as well. Could the Dogs afford to lose him with JUH & Darcy being the part of the future fwd line?

    It would seem lobb is heading their way too.

    I assume they have a third tall, second ruck role in mind for him.

    But if naughton stays they will have a surfeit of talss many tall forwards - Darcy (though played back in his first game) naughton, Lobb, Bruce and JUH.

    They need a gun defender. Perhaps naughton is worried they'll send him back.

    Did Naughton start as a back? I can't remember if WB started him in the backline and then out of necessity he was moved forward.

    Dogs are weak in defence and I personally can't see them really challenging until they sort that out 

    They have plenty in reserve at the front end it seems so maybe a Naughton move if they can get a key defender in is not so impossible to contemplate

    He would be the perfect fit for us

    dogs will have jones, keath, and darcy as key defenders and naughton, lobb, and juh as key forwards in 2023

    perhaps we should be throwing our hat in for bruce, as he always destroys us*

    *actually, doesn't

    Kennedy is cooked, body can’t handle AFL football demands anymore just getting up for games has been a big issue for the last 2 seasons.

    Will make a few cameo appearances in the next couple of years for Cervantes and Northampton in WA country football

    I wish we had that problem.

    Bruce looks cooked since his return from the ACL. They've used him as a second ruck to English, so he's probably not in their plans long term. A forward line of Lobb, Naughton and JUH is a perfect mix. Each has different qualities.

    And I think they're addressing their KPB issues. Keith and Darcy down back plus Liam Jones, and all of a sudden they look strong in that area.

    • 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?
