    Melbourne are silly dealing with the grubby Crows club. We'll look desperate .  R2 pick for a  inconsistent injury prone player ?   

    Bin it. Move on.

    Fully fit Fritsch and McAdam could be a nightmare duo to matchup for opposition defences in 2024

    I can't see them both in the same team, it's one or the other.  Unless we are planning to only play one Key forward

    Shane may be just the jigsaw piece  needed to complete the forward puzzle. Enigma to some of course but a great western in the tradition of Stand off at the Corvid Corral.

    reckon they both play round 1 personally.

    Nice to have a Western Australian who wants to come here!

    He's had an interesting career. I didn't realise he only started playing AFL in 2024. His SANFL form in limited games pushed him into AFL contention via mature aged pre draft by Carlton before Adelaide wanted him in the McGovern deal.

    He certainly consistently hits the scoreboard. Has some serious athleticism.

    I think he will be a great addition with his speed, ability to mark as a medium fwd (186cm) and seems to be clean with the ball.

    So we recruit a bloke to play VFL again LOL

    Fritsch and McAdam will work well

    Oh well, atleast we'll have a half decent Casey side in 24.

    Please dont recruit Gunston as well. His career is all but done.

    There are no readymade forwards out there coming to us. We can win it as long as our 4 main forwards stay healthy and we send Trac forward when necessary.

    I'm bereft. That's a cumulative half hour a day I now have to find something else to do with!

    But welcome, Shane, to you and to your fairly successful first name, MFC-wise. As to your surname, we'll endeavour to get it right by the time of your 30th goal in 2024.

     

    Would Blake Howes swap his Shane Woewodin / Shane McGrath 22?

    Closer to the NT and add the fact he had relocated to Adelaide for a few years before getting taken by Carl/Adel

    Would be good to land his brother Ash Johnson also

    I can see us looking at a small fwd line with both playing.  You would hope with what we have paid he is playing round 1.

    I"m sure he will be, but how long it lasts i dunno.  Hopefully I'm eating my words after 20+ games and 40 goals!

    We used the F2nd because we have 2 of them and only one F3rd.  It means we can still trade our F1st.

    We have 2 future 3rds care of Harmes, no?

    (😁 A typo no doubt, YB, but...)

    To any who think his career so far hasn't been up to AFL standard, that'll be good news!

    Yes, and I hadn’t realised he drives a De Lorien.

    Yes you're right, sorry.  I was thinking Fullarton cam for a F3rd.

    He will take Melksham's spot until at least well into the year when (hopefully) Melky is over his ACL. When they are all fit and in form will be an interesting selection query...

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
