    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.

    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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
