Which players are possibly open to a good offer? 

More like a wish list.

Ideally Age 22-25 , high impact, experienced, returning Victorian?

Dissatisfied with current team/prospects?

Just scratching the surface though I’m sure to have included or missed something obvious.
 Some high cost/value, others cheaper but may not offer much. Mainly mids and forwards. Have not included any rucks as I believe it will be difficult to attract any after last year until Max actually retires. 

(grouped in clubs, possibility and by quality of the group)

Serong, Young, Brayshaw, 
Butters, Drew, Bergman, 
Davies-Uniake,
Holmes
Callaghan, Ash, 
Taranto, Baker, Short, Ross, Graham
Dale, Richards, Smith 
Sinclair, King, 
Rayner, 
Walsh, Curnow 
Parish, Hobbs, 
King, Humphrey, Ballard, 

Couldn’t find too many from these teams: Coll, Haw, WC, Adl.

of those currently under contract. darcy parish would be one that i would definitely be keen to have a chat with

i can't see the peptides wanting to honour their very long deal with him given that their midfield seems to operate better without him

as such, if we can take on the wage and not give up much collateral, it would appear to be a potential win: win

 

We won’t be able to get anyone one that list. Collingwood, Carlton will be into them long before we are. Saints will throw ridiculous money and long term contracts. Geelong will give them lifestyle and reinvention. 

We just don’t even have a training base. 


Liam Reidy Fremantle 

Ideally Age 22-25 TICK

High impact, experienced, TICK

Returning Victorian? TICK

Dissatisfied with current team/prospects? TICK

behind Jackson and Darcy but dominant in WAFL.

Cheap.

Started as a fwd but plays first ruck now.


Free agents I hope we look at:

Stengle, Cumming, Battle and J. Berry

Out of contract players:

Moyle, Baker, Busslinger? 

Contracted players but ask the question

Humphrey, Lord, Thilthorpe (part of Petty trade?) 

We are not a destination club , somehow playing on the MCG is not all that appealing. We should trade Oliver and Petty to Norf. They give us one of their mids( preferable not the Tasmanian player). Or we get their pick one. We go out and get Tilthorpe. Alternative we trade Oliver and a second rounder to Freo for Brayshaw. NOT goinh to happen , I know. What about getting rid of Goody and all the assistants . New coach picks his own assistants.

Max Knobel of Fremantle Dockers 

Date of Birth: 27/06/2004 (20 years old)

Height: 206 cm (6' 9")

Position: Ruck

Taken in the 2022 draft from Gippsland Power.

Out of contract this year. 

According to #foreverfreo, he’s too good for ressies footy.

Yesterday's stats:

48 hitouts
23 disposals 
5 marks
2 tackles
1 goal

Any WA Dees fans know much?

 

Someone posted a tweet a while back from a journo suggesting we were into Ryan Angwin from GWS. Will watch him more closely now he's getting senior games but looks a tough competitor and can allegedly kick a footy. Vic boy and has had limited opportunities so far.

Melbourne misses - SEN

“The big miss, their past two years of trades,” Josh Jenkins added. 

“I think they are zip from six. Brodie Grundy, Lachie Hunter, Josh Schache, Jack Billings, Tom Fullarton and Shane McAdam

“They are zip from six on the trade table in the past two years and that has got to be a big miss.

Who’s responsible for this & we have signed another ruck Campbell to his 4th club?
 


Jenkins. Yawn.

Any dates for Delisted Free Agency?

  • 3 weeks later...

What time is the first pick?  

 

I can then plan ‘5x5 on the clock’ before we get involved (maybe with a bid, then another 5 mins on the clock and so on….

  • 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?
