Not really hearing anything leaking out of the MFC. Hearing a couple of whispers but nothing really solid. 

Heard a couple of people say that they believe Flynn will get across the line to us. I think that would be a good result.

Mc Adam move might be in doubt. No idea why and I do not rate this whisper.

Have heard that the club has a few different strategies in play and that the direction they take will be dependent upon what trades fall early, and not just trades we are involved in.  

Harmes more than likely to stay along with Tomlinson.

I did hear that there may be a key positional switch coming up during the preseason. Will keep the name to myself until after the trade period.

Heard nothing re: Oliver except what has been on here. 

 

 

Rivers to the midfield… you beauty

swans picking up all the second rung mids - jj from us and dow from the blues

Maybe, but every so often one of those second strings turns into a solid best 22 performer at another club.

Still spewing we let go of Toby Bedford though.  He had potential best 22 written all over him, but I think we just needed him to be more patient with oppertities to get confident and prove it at the MFC.

Don’t think there was any ‘let go’ about it - he got a better offer

Clarry has the realistc opportunity to be the B & F record holder in the oldest football club (in the world?).  He also has claims to potentially be our greatest ever player and multiple premiership player.

That's a truly unique status that I find impossible to believe he would give up, even if he doesn't see eye to eye with a particular high performance manager.

Picks 2+3 for Oliver & a later pick.

Anything to say dazzle & co? What was it, 3wks ago? 
 

need to see final products, but could either be best thing ever and set us up for a decade OR be looked back on as the dumbest move of all time but seemingly Clarry has made his bed. Unfortunately

Im going to again offer a counter view.

If as you suggest Oliver is untouchable..  no one would have enquired. 

Somewhere... someone... has let a door crack open. 

No one asks about Max, Trac or Jack... but strangely there's a story surrounding Clarry.

Think about that.

Nope, we put word out amigo

I don't think he was a free agent was he?

And if I recall correctly may even have still been in contract.

This attitude we have at the MFC of helping players get to the club and trading low value 2nd / 3rd rd picks or worse for them has its drawbacks and sometimes I think we need to hold on harder to some of these types of players.

With Bedford we'd put multiple years of development into him and he was just starting to show the fruits of that investment and we let him go, what I would call cheaply.

Yep. That’s been the talk! I hope you’ll now understand, had I mentioned any sort of specifics, and it fell through - I’d of liked like a the biggest tool alive and been torn apart and had to higher a new name and I’ve been here since day dot basically so wasn’t gonna do that. Oh yeah, and I’d of clearly been the source and burned my real self HARD, that too 🤣😂😇

You absolutely did not predict this at all re Oliver.

God you speak some absolute [censored].

Throw a few arrows and hope they stick eventually.

Do you know what's the ultimate plans for these picks? Reid and a key forward? 

I remember you posted being very happy about what's to come, can't imagine many people would have thought Oliver leaving would be a part of that.

You're going to stop supporting the club for trading one player? Beyond pathetic. 

If this happens, the reasons will be valid. Based on information you don't have. 

Don’t appreciate being called pathetic l travel 8 hours in a day every second week to watch them play & have been a fully paid member for 35 years, so you can stick that where the sun dont shine

Not saying it’s going happen but if it does!!!!!

Good clubs don’t trade 4x best & fairest, premiership & a once in a generation player

He along with Robbie Flower is the best player I’ve seen at the club.

Good clubs don’t let this happen, they back their player to the hilt, which l expect we will do.

But if they don’t they won’t be getting anymore of my hard earned money or match attendance

The club thinks we are one of the big boys, let’s see if we are & support Clarrie through thick & thin

No I said I left with a grin.. cus I couldn’t blv the balls of it, but all I knew then was it was a key player and love it because it showed me we were prep to risk it all, which I love! But in cold light of day, unless it’s Harley & Walter (which it rly can’t be) even now it’s got my stomach in knots. Didn’t hear Clarry name till the following Monday. Maybe if we didn’t have as many donks as we do here. I’d of shared that it was a player, but I knew I’d it didn’t amount to anything I’d never hear end of it, so I guess ultimately the dazzle donks like adonski & Tremblay win!

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
