I got a Bud to bear with this thread. It should be Lions.

Yes but in the interests of alliteration Buddy the Bear sounds much better.

    I really just wanted to say 'Bud to bear' Gonzo. I quite liked the title in all honesty.

    Strange to say the least if true

    I could understand GCS doing it to increase attendances but why when you have Daniher, Hipwood and Cameron would you want an ageing Buddy

    No one said what the Lions think yet have they? And he can replace Mc Stay at a goal per game in 2022!

    Hi Dazz. Our mail is that the Lions have offered 1 year at $750 and there is no certainty that even if the Swans match it now, he’d stay.  The other big news we’re hearing is that the Swans have told Josh Kennedy that they can’t guarantee him a game next year and surprisingly, rather than retire, he’s looking at 1 year offers from both the Kangas & GWS.  
    It appears the Swans are looking to move on from these two great Champions. 

    Also hearing that Geelong has made enquiries about Grundy.

    Thanks mate, great Intel 

    The Kennedy to North makes a whole heap of sense from a playing experience and leadership point of view. The loss of Cunnington this year had left a huge hole in their midfield.

    Other then the Jackson scenario, will we be active this trade period?

  • Quote

    Tim Lamb is always trying to be active and is very highly regarded by Player Managers. Naturally, it all depends on the Jackson scenario and how that washes out.  We are still of the view that he goes.

    Kennedy would be a great get for the Roos. They might have a few similar mids but you don't say no to that kind of leadership.

    Well the old churches leagues were just as bad and so was Federal Football League.

    Hah. Played a couple of years in that. Loved those unfenced grounds. If you followed the ball over the boundary into the spectators you'd cop half a dozen jabs to the kidneys on your way back on the field. Fun times !

    From a Swans perspective, I think it's pretty disappointing that Buddy would move for the money given the length of contract and money the Swans have forked out for him historically. Still, mayne their offer was very low-ball.

    Any news on Buddy since the potential lions one year deal? I find it hard to believe he would leave for a one year deal

    Another 52 goals. 3 contested marks and 2 goals in the prelim. 

    I wonder if the Demons are interested? I know I would be keen!

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
