I really just want Collingwood to be forced to eat this for another year or two at least.

    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.

    Yes, he was recruited as a Centre Halfback. Luke played him forward as at the time they lacked a marking target. Given the backline is suspect I am surprised he hasn't been moved back but then they haven't had many marking targets until now

    Gee 10 games? 

    I guess it still beats 10 games of having nothing.

    Yup 10 games, he doesn't travel, and it gives JVR good access to develop too.  

    it's all a pipe dream but it could work if he wanted another medal.  i think he is happily retired though

    Cal Twomey saying not to rule out Melbourne yet as a destination for Karl Amon.

    Langdon and Amon on either wing would be awesome....Really rate him, elite field kick, has pace and skills, works really hard both ways.

    Amon is exactly what we need, Jordan is a really good role player on the wing, but i actually think we're missing his hands inside, and Amons speed and kicking combination is something we really lack.

    I really hope Heppell considers the gold coast offer. I can't see him leaving but god it would set back Essendon & I reckon there supporters would be filthy.

    I can see clubs chasing Tomlinson and Bedford . Personally we have a lot of small forwards , one player will go. Tomlinson is finding it hard to break into the back six , ideally we should have tried him as a forward. BB and Weid are not up to it .

    On the subject of Naughton will cost too much and he lacks consistency.

    Exactly, Ed and Amon on either wing would be an incredible threat. Gives us more ability to hurt opposition by foot.

    I thought Amon was a turnover merchant?

    Well he's good for an outside 50 goal at least

    At 47.28 how consistent do you want?  6th in the Coleman and better than Fritta.  And he is only 22.

    The boy can leap at the footy I'll give him that. 

    If he is gettable we should have a go, but I don't think he is a better forward than Fritta.

    Regardless of who is better (Naughton by a long way), two of them is better than one.

    Is Naughton any chance of leaving the Dogs??

    I would think it is low.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
