don't believe so, last i heard is he was out of contract at the end of 2024, when he'll be a free agent

Sun reported he is set to sign up but nothing official yet 

 
 

Dees should look to add some youth and keep their draft hand for 2023.  Maybe use picks to trade up the board with Giants and Suns needing points to use on academy picks. 

After today it’s clear our target should

be… between the big sticks 


I hope Larkey doesn't sign on again with North. He'd be great in the red and blue but fair play if he sticks with North. I don't mind players showing loyalty to their club even if it means we miss out.

I would try and target the following in order of who I’d like most to who is probably the most realistic 

1. Larkey 

2. Naughton 

3. McKay (Ben) 

4. Himmelberg (but not for the reported $900k!)

5. Georgiadis 

I'd have Allen at 1, if not 2 on this list and would argue he'd be just as gettable, the eagles need the draft currency

After watching today I think it’s only fair for the competition that we refrain from this years draft and trade period.

Apparently he’s a WA boy making a bucket of money. So sadly no chance. 
I mean I’d take Jeremy Cameron and Charlie Curnow too, but we need to be realistic here. 

We need to poacb a BIG able bodied forward for 2024. Both T Mac and BBB are probably done...

Suggestions people??

Harry McKay if Carlton lose the plot 🤪. Naughton if he got a haircut. Would love Dixon, but that ain’t happening.

Great talent, but at 24 he's one of the players you build your team around.

I wouldn't think they're mad enough to move him on.

Love Bowser, but reckon he's too small for the midfield.

Daniels is not too small. That's a furphy if good enough then give him a go. 

size is a poor excuse by a team when  as the individual most likely desires a chance to prove a reason like that wrong. 

Would love a rookie pick like Nick Martin. 192cm classy, hard running midfielder who can kick.

Maybe Howes will get there but someone like Finn Callahan...

Cerra, Zac Williams, McGovern, Jack Martin, Hewitt and Saad

Saad goes ok

 

Jack Martin would’ve been a great had he chose Melbourne!!!

Hayden McLean, Oscar Allen & Georgiadis are the ones to watch here…

Nick Martin is just wow! Same trajectory as Hird right now. Howes is a terrific prospect but not quite as silky as Martin or the goal sense but has a floor of someone like Acres or ceiling of say Bailey Dale or Redman!

Did his ACL earlier in the year, so will be coming off a long lay off, might not be as aerially captivating as he was before.

Oscar Allen is also a lead up forward, as compared to a contested beast.


Ollie Florent. swans.  But signed up until end 2024. 
Finn Callaghan.  GWS. But signed up until end 2025. 
It’s the draft for me this year.

Would transform our midfield

GWS's Jake Riccardi might be a good fit. 23, 198cm, 100kg. Always looks good when I see them, but doesn't seem to get much love. Played under Williams at Werribee before getting drafted. Not sure of his contract status.

I wouldn’t bring in any mature key forward unless he is a regular best 22.

Certainly would draft another and develop Jefferson and Verrall.

If there was a best 22 key forward we could get next year, then absolutely.

We need a key forward but I would be going all in for trading up the draft. We would want as much high end draft talent as possible before Tassie come in and take all the picks

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
