They wouldn’t be able to afford Jackson, Darcy, Amiss and JVR. Would have to involve swapping Darcy for JVR, but let’s not worry about that.

They have the big Cohuna who’s not a bad 3rd option 

JVR will stay in my view, but the idea that Freo aren’t gonna have a massive crack at him is ridiculous. Did Freo need Jackson last year when they already had Darcy? No, but they did it anyway and they’ll try the same with Roo

The sheer fact that his brother is training with them is a big enough sign surely? Every club overlooked him in the draft and even rookie draft yet Freo are giving him a chance even though he’s probably not up to AFL standard? Where are Freo’s holes? Midfield is stacked, rucks are stacked and backline is strong. They would be drooling at the potential of a JVR/Amiss forward line, their forward line is their weakest point, there’s no partner for Amiss yet 

They have no big bodied mid as evident by their struggles in midfield last season without Mundy. Whilst Brayshaw and Serong are very good mids they ain’t the midfield bulls Mundy and a fit Fyfe are. They have no small forwards with an aging Walters along with losing Henry and Schulz. 
 

you have no idea what standard SVR is I doubt you have seen him play.  They have taken him and Voss on board to train all summer along with Dan McKenzie as the players who they see as the best available talls who come a lot cheaper as back up because with Jackson, Darcy, Serong, Brayshaw all on big money and Amiss going to command big money throughout his career it ain’t happening

Darcy hadn’t signed when they started chasing Jackson 

 

Nobody is "happily frustrated" at BB's situation.

However, a kid that no club considered worth drafting and is clearly nowhere close to being ready for AFL senior action is not a viable replacement for him in 2024.

Fair enough then. Let's all be happily frustrated then by the ridiculous BB Superannuation 24 show. 

That’s the 3 year superannuation tour you mean 22-24

In that instance, it was a serious reply; a simple response to a simple statement. Your above reply says more about you than it does me.

Uncomfortable with all this talk regarding BBB not seeing out the season against his wishes, even with his knee problems.

The off season was where decisions like this needed to be made not now, BBB wanted to play the year so we respect his wishes and send off our premiership hero in the right manner regardless if he plays or not.

Lets respect our heroes in the right way and it will come back to us ten fold.

Ben obviously holds aspirations of coaching and is a good role model to the youngsters on the list you need people like this around our club.

It strengthens your culture.

SVR is not an option.  If we were to get a replacement for BB it would need to be a proven VFL/WAFL or SANFL player that can hold a key position if needed.  No point bringing a kid in that cant get picked up by West Coast.

There is plenty around if the club were thinking that way, but i have a feeling they are more thinking along the lines of if it got to dire straights they have Schacke or move the defence around and put T-mac/Tommo up fwd. 

Why all the concern about SVR.  He was not picked by anyone in the draft.

is struggling to get on Fremantle their list.

last player on probably 

he will not replace anyone on the Dee’s list for 3 years.  Most certainly not this year.

as an aid to his brother is a different storey.

But get off BBB. He is fulfilling his contract. And so are we.

if he cannot play then move him to coaching at the mid year. 
 

then get a short term tall .

we will have a great year, cos I will be in Italy in September.  

Not now, but I don't mind the idea of him playing at Casey, with the option of a mid-season draft pickup.

He has some elite traits - his agility testing at the WA Combine would've had him #1 in the country.

I have never seen Sam play but isn’t he an 18yo KPF who didn’t get drafted?  
 

They take time. 2 or 3 years in our system  before they get a game seems to be the norm (assuming they are good enough). Doesn’t seem a wise LTI replacement 

Agree, come and have a run at Casey first and then we'll Fritsch you once your ready

Man alive, there's some crazy thinkers on Land after a loss!

Imagine what it's gonna be like when we're 3/3 after 6!

Lachie Hosie, Liam McBean, Luke Reynalds, Harry Boyd all SANFL all bar 1 have been on an AFL list before.

Ben Sokol, Zac Clarke, Tyler Keitel from the WAFL

"Fritsch" works beautifully as a verb in that sentence. 

Won't happen.

Nor should it.

I hope Fullerton is up and about asap 

Bbb for Schache but it's the deck chairs again for me.

Maybe Tmac down back of Bbb out and Tommo up fwd.

Have to try something.

I don't want Shache in again.

And Tommo was one of our better players v Swans.

Surely he couldn't be any worse.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
