    Melbourne not mentioned yet again. Just once I want our club associated with a top end talent that is out of contract.

    I loved it when we got Jordan Lewis as a free agent - it felt like such a great acqusition, Hibbo, Melksham also great gets too and Maudie / Lever (with draft picks) 

    Go hard or go home.

    The sliding doors are extra bigulous on this one, plus the random 2020 draft. We got done by Geelong though. They beat us to Isaac Smith, then jumped us in the draft for Holmes. So we looked to Rosman for wing2, then plugged, first with Hunter and now with Billings (also shout out to Gus). Got a flag, they got a flag. Lingers is a bit down since.

    I'm sure we're very active in the players market and sniffing around a lot however it doesn't worry me to have our name attached all the time.

    I continually see Hawthorns name attached to everyone it seems and they never land anyone of merit.  I think this looks a lot worse rather then enquiring quietly.

    He's involved in this trade, or Geelong can eat a bag of [censored]. 

    Let's demand this from the club.

    Yeah nah that's not how it works.

    Secondly why on earth would he leave Geelong to come to a club that's a current rabble.

    Holmes or comparative value.

    Taking a hardline trade approach is not how this works? I guess he stays then.

    The point is simply that if a club does not have the value to make a trade, they need to ruffle the feathers of some of their own players and their fan base, to come up with the value. Why should another club make NO concessions or sacrifice any relationship (to an up and coming star) to make a trade happen? A future 1st is not worth the sacrifice we are making, if thats all thats on the table to take his contract and his playing ability.

    We called them, if they want it to happen, find your player that wants to come to us.

    The hardline approach is the trade demand, or it doesn't get done.

    We are pushing Oliver out the door, we have no power in any trade negotiation, we will be lucky if we get away with a future 1st rounder and not picking up any of his salary.

    What happened to the power being in the clubs hand with the writing of a long term contract? If Geelong are desperate enough they can move the pieces to get it done. I don't see why 'we' have to accept what is offered when the long term contract permits us the lee-way to keep him and repair the relationship without fear of him walking to the draft. Is sitting out really such a fearful scenario that we'd accept so little compensation?

    Of course the full picture is not clear and we dont know how unified the 'we' is that's pushing him out the door and whether things are beyond repair or not. The ball is in the Cats court to come to the table with something substantial imo.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
