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

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: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
