After signing a 6-year deal would make him nigh on impossible to extract from North. Can't see it but it's nice to dream, i guess. North did gift us BB after all.

    Fisher is locked in for North.  They have offered him

    5 years at stupid money . Fisher is soft as butter and hopefully we don’t go anywhere near him.

    A bit like Larkey.

    All sounds like a load of MaLarkey to me....

    Just as an aside, if a fit Larkey played for us in these finals, he would be getting a premiership medallion.

    Rumour or confirmed?

    Almost as expected. Review of 2 no. EOFR picks next year is fanciful; surely North will have the ability to trade them as future picks this year.

    All we need now is to hear that McKay's deal has not triggered the top tier band and that would be 3 from 3 for the best we could have hoped for.

    So that they can trade them.

    They should be. He's a gun. 71 goals in a bottom 2 side and an AA jacket puts him in rare air. Other than perhaps Curnow he's the best young FPF in the league in my view.

    I think it's a bit of a myth that the likes of Larkey and Mitch Lewis are young.  They were drafted in 2016 and Larkey is turning 26 next year.  He is right in his prime in the next 3-4 years, then he will be nearly as old as Steven May who most are predicting to fall off a cliff soon.  North possibly get a tilt at a flag right at the back end of this period.

    I think it just goes to show how long it takes some of these KPF to really find their feet in this league, and is also why JVR did such a great job this season.  I feel like he has a great chance to be just as good as these guys at even earlier age.

    Older than i thought i admit. depends on what age you consider young for a KPF i suppose.

    For reference Tom Hawkins is 35 and Taylor Walker is 33

    Ask yourself good squire...

    By what ethos does the AFL abide ?

    Upon arriving at your answer....you will have 'the'   answer  ;)

    Makes sense but I’m not sure. It says those two picks can be “reviewed next year.” Makes me think they won’t be able to trade them this trade period.

    Of course not!

    They’ll trade both of them and then there’s nothing to review!

    Heard a few whispers but do not have a lot of faith in the veracity of said rumours. 

    I do like that there is little or no leaks coming out of the club these days.

    We know that Deakin Smith is gone...... Dunstan retired..... Hibberd retired...... Jordon 99% out the door as a RFA.... Grundy 80% out the door traded to Sydney? but I think the club would not mind if a deal cannot be done and he stays for another season.

    For what it is worth unfounded whispers.....

    Harmes is looking at options but I have heard that there is a deal available for him if he stays.

    Chandler or Spargo may be on the table depending on the offer. 

    Brown and Tmac I have heard that one of the two will retire with the other staying on the list. both have been mentioned as staying and both have been mentioned as retiring. No idea which way this will play out.

    Tomlinson will be getting more games next year as the third leg of the main defensive tall trio.

    As for drafting and trading...... More whispers.

    No real news on possible forwards. We are talking to a few players with regard to this year and trade period next year. seems hard to get a clear idea of who they might be and the chances of getting them. I did hear that we might be going a little left field for a possible solution in looking at a kpp, not necessarily a recognized forward, to cover the position should JVR of Petty go down.

    I heard that we will try for Reid but will not sell the house to get him. We have spent a good deal of time talking with him and his agent. I think we will be taking a longer term view of this situation.

    Not really a lot out there from what I have heard.

    It seems the done deal is Grundy to Swans.

    Must be relatively simple if as agreed upon as it appears. Do we not even know what that trade is?

    Demonland intel is broken.

    I’ll pretend I know something…

    Grundy +p24 for p11

    Oh. And no chance Nth get p3 for McKay, sets unworkable precedent.

    Would happily accept trading Brodie Grundy and draft pick #24 for the Sydney Swans draft pick #11.

    If you're suggesting the AFL has integrity and may also be held accountable No.10 ... hmm maybe think again.

    Aspects of business culture considered de rigueur for many don't apply here and haven't for decades...

    There'll be a relevance spike if Collingwood loses tragically.

    • 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.
