I rate Levi Casboult, bit to old though.

Chol could be handy if he is committed.

Casboult is old but is a free agent and is durable. He potentially fills two roles on our list.

Chol would require a trade and is probably worth a pick around #30.

Risk v reward. North aren’t pulling out all the stops to keep him. I’m not sure he has grown up yet. Talented without a doubt. Very questionable temperament.

exercise extreme caution 

We have an A grade culture and support system. We should be able to straighten him out, that is, if he's keen on us

Essendon talking to Tarryn Thomas. 

Would love him at the Dees. Get him super fit and on the straight and narrow and could be best player in the comp. 

Cannot see that happening when you think about the whole of the Melbourne Football Club. I think AFLW wouldn't be impressed.

I think we have that A grade culture largely because of the people we choose to bring into the club.

And that culture still wasn’t able to help Harley Bennell change his spots.

If we have picks 4 and 5 I'd love to get Duursma and O'Sullivan as Melksham(32) and May(31) replacements. Viney will be 30 next year so if those guys are off the board then I'm happy to go after McKercher or Caddy. 

In terms of trade targets we need a ready made ruck if Grundy leaves. Goldstein wants to go around for another year and I'm happy to take him for a year while waiting for KFW and Verrall to improve. Our key forwards in Brown and Macca are on their last legs so hopefully we can get Georgiades in a Grundy trade if it were to eventuate. I think Jordon will stay with us, he's been given a fair amount of opportunity this year but we'll need to get another ready made mid to cover for Dunstan like a Matt Crouch or Billings etc.

georgiades signed a new deal with the pear so that's not happening

mouch i can see replacing dunstan, but no doubt he will prefer to go somewhere where he's likely to see afl action, while billings is a completely different sort of player and wouldn't replace a dunstan-type on a list

goldstein will want to be an afl-ready ruckman for a side next year, not behind gawn in the queue for afl opportunities

Or Sean Darcy.


But Darcy is a number 1. No way he takes a back seat.

Lycett has little choice.

Surely if Grundy is to go out, Lycett comes straight onto our radar.

I’d rather take a chance on one of the many back ups around the league coming in to their prime than Lycett who hasn’t been able to get through a game all year. If we are after a veteran Goldy makes more sense than Lycett.

Otherwise I’d be looking at Jordon Sweet, Matt Flynn, Sam Hayes, Tom Fullarton or even Ivan Soldo.

i thought he wanted a six year deal, but the peptides refused to budge on a five year offer?

Dodo will ask for two 1st rounders anyways.

He'll also wait till 5 minutes before the deal needs to be submitted and then delay some more.

They can choose a song from Tool’s 10,000 Days to run out to that day.

Perkins? How will he improve us?

Classy forward mid with some medium size is something we could really do with. Tracc’s our only forward/mid, there’s no great option to change him with.

Can’t really see us paying a fortune to get him when he’s contracted though.

Probably. Just seemed to be a cheap & competent backup option.

But as others have pointed out, probably not the option we’ll go for.

 

B: McVee, May, Lever

HB: Salem, D.Turner, Rivers

C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter

HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen

F: Fritsch, Petty, Pickett

FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney

IC: Bowey, Sparrow, J.Smith, Chandler

SUB: Laurie

Casey

B: D.Smith, Adams, Draft pick

HB: Howes, Draft pick, Draft pick

C: Woewodin, Laurie, Draft pick

HF: Moniz-Wakefield, McDonald, Sestan

F: Jefferson, Schache, Spargo

FOLL: Verrall, Draft pick, Draft pick

IC: Farris-White, Melksham, Draft pick, Draft pick 

 

I wonder if we can rookie Melksham hopefully he'll have a Tomlinson like recovery and play half way through the year.

Harmes will be looking for a new club as will Grundy, Hiberd will retire. Tomlinson will be looking for a new club as will Jordon. Dunstan will be delisted as will K.Turner and Brown will retire.

Will probably lose a few midfielders so I think we should draft for midfielders and trade for talls, Lycett, Chol and Georgiades come to mind.

Perkins is a soft footballer. Pass.

In fact, pass on any peptide player (except maybe 2m Peter)

Bull dust He's a very good footballer he'll stay.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
