This has been debunked by Sam Edmund as pure guess work from a random nuffy supporter who texted in to SEN. SEN then did some follow up work.

Edmund on to say that he doesn't think there is anything in the works and that Melbourne are now acknowledging that games need to be put into the younger players instead of going out and buying big.

Sorry to disappoint.

Is that a fact?

Pretty sure @Nudge and @Ethan Tremblay have their fingers on the pulse of something big. Come on guys - show your cards!

    🍐💀🏇 2024; make it happen, you cowards

    might be a chance with port looking to split their 2024 first into multiple second round selections to get the esava, bzk, and sweet deals done

    we are likely to have a bunch of second rounders - could be as many as four after the grundy deal and jj compo are done - that we probably don't need

    That would be their assumption, as they actually know nothing.

    If they did know anything, the teasers would be flying.

    That's the impression I got listening to it first time round. Hopeful demon supporter surmising that we must have something in the works with our draft capital and salary cap space.

    I think we get McAdam and a back-up ruck, then focus on improving our draft hand in this year and next.

    In my view, we will have a good crack at a serious player next year.

    I reckon the odds of McLean coming to us as part of the Grundy trade is a fair chance.  He played 22 games in the ruck and fwd, kicked 21 goals. He won't be playing much with Grundy there.  Only 24.  Him and Gawn would work nicely together

    197cm 99kg about to enter his prime.  Swans have a lot of talls

    If not him, then one of their tall fwds.  They will have Reid, McDonald and Amartey. Can't really play all three

    Or even throw in the unknown Jack Buller. 199cm fwd/ruck. 22yo, done well in the WAFL last year apparently.

    Can't see McLean being cleared after his last game.

    Amartey is a chance, but no star and probably behind Petty and JVR atm.

    Don't know anything about Buller.

    Could be just diverting.

    Anyway, surely we are not losing so many players and just looking to draft young replacements.

    McAdam in and then we could have another 5-6 spots.

    If we got talented kids I wouldn't mind, but it doesn't sound likely and of course we need that extra mature ruckman.

    I wonder if we'd have a look at Ladhams? he's more of a forward ruck and likely falling down the pecking order at the Swans

    He’s a spud, we don’t want spuds. If we recruit a tall spud Max will end up doing all the ruck work and be cooked come September. We have Schache as back up. We need someone half decent so Max can rest during the year.

    Feeling the love.... I know where I'm not wanted!!

     

    Btw I agree Re; Ladhams, complete spud and undisciplined one at that. 

    Doubt Saints would offer him up, but coming back from a knee you never know, so I'd enquire about Jack Hayes...

    We need someone who can read the chaos ball we send forward.

    Naughton fits this perfectly.

    Petty looks like he knows how to be a forward

    He's a [censored] and a spud. The Swans are chasing Grundy now because Hickey has retired and Ladhams has failed as an AFL player. Not to mention he's undisciplined. Got suspended again on the eve of finals when Hickey was out and left his club without a ruckman. And his treatment of young Woey on the boundary last year in the VFL last year was disgraceful. I'd be disgusted with the club if they brought him in. 

    We'll likely bring in a battler or mature ager as backup for Max the next two years until our young rucks develop and add Kalani White as development too.

    White needs to become a CHF for us.

    From being drafted, let alone how many more to be ready, if he is even good enough.

    • 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.
