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: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
