Trust the club, but personally want Melksham to come back from his ACL, couldn't see McAdam being a 3year proposition, and he would have to buy into the defensive aspect of the role. Like others if he didn't get on with Burgess I'm wondering?

 

Had no idea who he was.

If the list managers/ recruiters want him who am I to argue at this point? They've already been largely responsible for the great ride we've had over the past few years with more to come. I'll back them and their judgement

Do we really need more competition for half forwards, or more 28 year olds on the list? I can't see how this possibly improves the mix of our list.

Yep better than Charlie Spargo!

Agree. Dangerous as a goalkicking small-medium forward.  Good mark.  Loves a goal.  It’s a Yes if the right terms and trade deal works.  

AND clearly has been in meetings with us 

THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!😇🤩😁

 

Melksham replacement who can do a bit more than him. His smarts are good, not as good as Jake but who is.

Also might mean Spargo finds it even more difficult to get a spot in the 22.

Other players wanting to come to the Dees is something I’ll never get tired of. For about 5 million years nobody looking for success would even look at us.

 Now look at us!!

We’re a DEESTINATION club! 

(I’ll show myself out)

I always find the perspective of fans from the player the club is from the most interesting, so for anyone wanting a quick read...

https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/shane-mcadam-requests-trade-to-melbourne.1370279/

Agree, and very helpful/interesting!


Love this…! Will make our forward line so much more dangerous and unpredictable. He has everything. Footy smarts. He can fly, crumb, pressure and tackle. And capable of 50+ goal season… 

Our current crop of small forwards haven’t been the greatest of pressure and tackling. McAdam definitely an improvement in this area and will bring the heat at training…! 

He does remind me of a Jeff Farmer and Peter Vardy combination.

His younger brother Dallas is one of the most talented players I have seen, unfortunately just can’t adjust to the commitment required to play WAFL Colts and have AFL clubs chasing him

Don't you mean "YEP BETTER THAN CHARLIE SPARGO"? Just for clarity...

Reading that Big Footy thread, they’re saying that Rucci clarified that it’s a Melbourne based club, as opposed to the MFC.

Love to hear some thoughts on what he will bring us. Who's spot does he take? 

Melksham’s. Competes so well in air, recovers at ground level, exactly what we need in 3rd fwd option — massive get for club!

 

Sounds like trouble, rising 29yo knows more than fitness professionals,  a no from me.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
