Unless we lose one of JVR or Petty, I can't see us going big on any opposition KPF.

Well, I dont rate either of JVR or Petty that highly, so I would make JUH a massive offer he could not refuse

Doggies need picks to rejuvenate their list. They need defenders and Naughton ain’t going. Darcy will play Forward and they’ll sign English. 

Dogs definitely need to improve their defence. In a perfect world JUH traded for Petty and something would be good for both clubs.

Shame it won't happen

 

I would love any of Smith, Jamara, Weightman, or Richard's. Either way I'd love to pick the eyes out of this falling team.

With the form Naughton is in, there is no way JUH leaves. 

 

More chance of Naughton being traded to WC for cap space then JUH walking to us on a decent deal.

    Media reports about possible smoke around the Bont. 

    As captain was part of their review - obviously thing's not working.... might be able to pry out if things don't improve.

    Go and get the Bont!

    It is a good idea, D_J; suits the Dogs defensively, heals the MFC forward line (and most probably encourages the kickless to be far more mobile with an attacking forward like JUH onboard). If only it could happen!

    They will sack Bevo before they let the Bont walk out. Take that to the bank.

    Mostly because I am sadistic and enjoy watching other clubs implode

    But secondly - if it frees up a bont, a marra, a Riley sanders.... and we can get our hands on one happy days

    I’m with you to an extent. Makes for a great thread on a ladder of which team you hate most ordered from 1 (most hated) to 17 (least). Doggies are not in my top 8 at all.

    Surely they’d sack everyone from the president to the boot-studder before losing Bont..?

    Might be time for a Bont thread!!!

    The Bont is a shining example of a footballer and how the game should be played.

    Hard to envisage a trade scenario that would be worth their while.

    Stranger things have happened. After all, Ryan Griffen left as Dogs captain to join GWS.

    I always think that no individual is bigger than the club; but the Bont is definitely an exception to that rule.

    Him leaving the Dogs would be the equivalent of Max leaving the Dees.

    Off topic question. What's Max King's contract situation? The Saints look like a perennial middle of the road team, perhaps we can persuade him to come here?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
