Some of you people are just nasty. Purely and simply NASTY. 

Scroll to the top of this thread. See the title? It’s the ‘Trade and Free Agency Rumours’ thread. Seems it’s becoming yet another thread that degenerates into a Melks bash-fest.

Why is it ok to insult Jake’s son?

And @A F… I’m not so much angry with you as I am disappointed. I really like your posts and almost always agree with you. But this? Really? You’re better than that. 

And before anyone rolls out the tired old ‘if you don’t like it then don’t read it’ crap, I opened a thread that’s titled ‘Trade and Free Agency Rumours’ and I understandably expected exactly that. How about ‘if it’s nasty and mean spirited about ONE OF OUR OWN, don’t [censored] post it!’

Haha, mate, come on. If you can't see that I was being heavily sarcastic, I can't help you.

I wasn't in the room at Rye reporting what they said, I was poking fun at the ridiculous notion that Goodwin's friendship with Melksham had him extended for 2023...

    I didn't think it was a particularly nasty jab at those suggesting Melksham was extended due to his supposed friendship with Goodwin. More humorously sarcastic.

    I don't think I could have been more obviously sarcastic, but apparently a few think I have very good connections in the FD, so much so that they'd let me report that list management meeting from Rye.

    makes it kinda baffling that they are so into dunkley as well. even with robinson and zorko at the end of their careers they still have alot of midfielders including many 3/4yrs who've barely had any exposure

    they're well into grif logue for this reason and he's better than tommo. ur not getting a second rounder for tommo unless its something like our second rounder for theirs and its a slide up rather than a flat pick. even lewis melican or alex keath or recently delisted hartigan probably has more trade likeliness than tommo. 

    I'm not saying I want Tomo to go. I thought he was playing great football prior to doing his ACL. Freo are apparently not willing to let Logue go if Lobb leaves. Keath is the Bulldogs best beckman so he wouldn't leave either and now there is word that Walker of North is looking at other options so that leaves the door open to North needing 2 quality key backman.

    How am I to know you were being sarcastic, when I’ve read so many similar (and similarly ridiculous) sentiments, ie. Melksy only gets a game coz he and Goody are mates. And these comments are actually serious! Why is yours any different???

     And @dazzledavey36 you can FacePalm all you like, but you’ve had it in for Melksham since (at the very least) I’ve been here. Probs since he first came to us. You all need to quit the personal attacks. Seriously.

    You have to laugh at the way posters tie themselves up in knots about Brodie Grundy.

    "He's injury prone and fragile".  (Facts show that he been remarkably durable with the exception of this year)

    "Yeah but his last two years were poor"  (Facts show he finished top ten in the B & F in both years)

    "Yeah but those B & F placings mean nothing"  (Facts show they are a great indication of performance)

    Which rabbit hole will the critics go down next, I wonder?

    And just for the record, I'm 50/50 on the merits of trading for Grundy.  I trust our Club to make the best decision.

    More concerned about his haircut!

    In seriousness though i am 50/50 also....really depends on how Goodwin is planning on using both our rucks.   The could be weapons or liabilities depending on how they are used.  Simon actually worries me more than anything when it comes to adjusting plans.  Rarely seems to be able to do it within a season, let alone within a game

    You've completely overblown this.

    There has been absolutely no personal attacks on Melksham in any form on this thread.

    It's been a pretty measured discussion from a football contract perspective and everyone has added solid discussion regarding futures of Melk and Hibberd. 

    I've been really careful with my discussion on here regarding Melk because we're discussion people's future so I've tried to be respectful and on topic with this thread, which is a trade and free agency discussion am I not right?

    How you saw @A F thread as a personal insult to Melksham really is confusing because if anything I took it as a sarcastic little dig at me which is totally fine and I did see the funny side in it.

    What's the point of having a football board if can't even have the discussion on point?

    Just the SA media nothing of note yet, they would have to offer some insane overs given he still has a year left and we would want him for next year even if we knew he was gone post 2023

    Whatever. I’m done. Clearly nothing’s gonna change. Sad really, he’s such a nice person and certainly doesn’t deserve to be personally bagged. Nor does his “pesky” kid.

    So much for winning a premiership makes you a destination club.

    I fear Kozzie has the go home factor as well. (Just our luck)

    That would be ****full Jim.

    Kozzie is one of those players that draws people to the game in the hope of seeing a magical moment.

    If we lose kozzie our forward line would have as much X factor as Zac Dawson.

    We'll put up some soccer score lines next year

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
