I can’t work out the 3rd. I know who was banned and who got retired.

I agree, I can't think of the third person. Besides the obvious 2, I thought the rest of the departures were solid citizens.

I had him marked as the one who retired.

No thank you.

I don't believe we are the sort of club that can turn a player like JUH around in the same way Geelong, Collingwood or some of the northern state clubs can. IMO he's more likely to create trouble rather than become the best player he can with us.


Reports are that Jamarra Ugle-Hagan won't be at the Dogs for too much longer. Should the Demons try and recruit him? A Huge risk, but the bloke can play!

 

No. I would have been a maybe a couple of months ago but too many even worse reports on his behaviour have emerged since.

I’m gonna go ahead and guess you’ve not been privy to some of the info that a lot of others are on this topic.

Absolutely no.

Just asking the question mate.

For Bevo to say his path back will be decided / guided by the AFL puts the mental health card to bed. Any club taking him on would be wanting clauses in his contract should certain scenario’s play out.


Depends who bolts at years end. We are desperate for a goal kicker. Yes!

could you be more specific?

Yep, we had the Oliver situation which from all reports [censored] a lot of people off by how it was handled. Cultural issues going back years, a lot of positional infrastructure missing at admin level, a home base to sort out and ideally a cliff to not fall down over the next couple of seasons.

Adding a person with complex issues, associated with seemingly dubious characters, that isn’t even showing up to their current club with any kind of consistency, that wouldn’t respond to Bontompelli’s mentoring leading to him being alienated from the group, to our club and expecting us to be able to handle it given our very recent form, is inviting disaster and very unneeded distractions.

Risking our younger players being poorly influenced and it spilling over into derailing/hampering/alienating them. Any chance of that happening is unacceptable to me and could screw us big time when we have to find stability.

No. No No No.

He's becoming the Scott Morrison of AFL. Wants the job but doesn't want to do the work. Only listens to people telling him how great he is, and even those people are just trying to sell him something.

We desperately need another good quality tall forward.

But the Demons should only take JUH if he changed his attitude and behaviour.

High as a kite on coke, no thanks.

 

For 100k per year 1 year contract for a future 3rd - yes. Any more, then no.

the reality is I reckon he’ll retire from Football. Just doesn’t have the desire anymore.

  • 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.
