Another 29 year old? I'm sure the club will be right into him given their ongoing drive to make us the oldest list in the competition.

    I’d much rather see us make a play for Max King. Yes he’s contracted until the end of 2026, but that doesn’t mean he’s not gettable.

    No. We have the backline sorted with tall options. Lever. Turner. Hore also plays a similar style.  
     

    Need to find or spend money on skilled fast midfielders.

    Isn't Ryan Daniel the WA version of Sam McClure?

    He's a mate of mine and is nothing like Sam McClure.

    He is a genuienly good journo who always triple checks his info and doesn't make outlandish claims

    He would become a permanent emergency for the seniors. Think about it we could claim the most expensive emergency which will also go along with Grundy's title as the most expensive back up ruckman. Fullerton would be happy as he could concentrate on his VFL career. Little Brown needs not to worry about his senior career with the club as it is going to be non existent.

    Are you suggesting Barrass doesn’t fit into our side?

    Well there is hope for Journalism, thanks for that.

    Trade cost and salary cost far too high, and he is a player to solve a 'now' problem with key defenders, while we have a 'soonish' problem with key defenders which he won't help with much.

    This draft is loaded with key talls at both ends of the ground from about pick 15 to 35. It would be madness to essentially remove ourselves from that harvest for the sake of a 29yr old.

    Noah Balta is the one I'd be targeting to take over from May.

    Would absolutely love him, as he can play both ends, but couldn’t see it happening.

    Poor old Ooze too, but Richmond are in for some pain. They probably won't play finals again until he's closer to 30.

    Barass won't get a game with the Dees because he is not stupid enough to come here.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • 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.
