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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
