As always we don’t seem to be in the hunt for any big name players .. what is it about our club yet you hear cats, pies, even the saints seem to be in the hunt 

wtf are you talking about

this year we were near certs to get houston - the best player looking to move clubs by some margin - until such a time as our season collapsed in on itself

there's not that many 'big names' looking to move clubs; in truth, there rarely is

    Really .. look at the players in the 2 sides today in particular the lions who were trading in..cats do it all the time, Houston  isn’t coming .. grant it we got lever & May .. but since winning the flag who?  Finishing top 4 last 3 seasons yet all of them are @ casey & delisted schache & retiring Hunter & let’s face it he was on his last legs

    Could the Dees put an offer to Deven Robertson.  He’s under contract at Lions but with Lions having Neale, McCluggage, Rayner, Berry & Will Ashcroft, and adding Levi Ashcroft and Sam Marshall, he’s unlikely to get a consistent run in their midfield.   
     

    At 23, Dees might see a spot for him.  He’s physically ready and tackles strangely.  We need a defensive type mid with good aerobic run.  Trac and Clarry got exposed this year on defensive clearance work.  Dees might also want to Trac to play forward/mid rotation.

    I will rephrase it who have we landed in  the last 3 seasons that’s improved our list?

    No.

    We have a defensive mid already in Sparrow.

    Robertson is an absolute ball butcher and would be a terrible pick up.

    We need to improve our disposal out of the middle, Robertson takes it in the other direction

    All our starting mids are better kicks than Robertson.

    From Fox Sports.

    Players who could arrive

    Herald Sun journalist Jon Ralph has also recently said the Demons could try and lure Leek Aleer, who has struggled to cement a place in Adam Kingsley’s best side, while the Demons could be a landing spot for departing Geelong premiership player Brandan Parfitt.

    Freo will never have more picks. It'd be a tough pill to swallow but if this is gonna rear it's head every 12 months it might be time.

    If your Fremantle you would be doing everything possible to get him. They already have a very talented team, underachieved big time this year. Get KP and Bolton and they should seriously be challenging next year. 
     

    I hope he stays though.

    Serious question. He has ties to both WA and SA, and has been linked to both states. He has a 5 month old baby now which puts a different slant on things, as many of us will appreciate.  He has stated he's homesick, but where is home?  If he states either/or, I would be less sympathetic.

    Any clown that suggests Pickett should go to Freo are that CLOWNS! He's a Melbourne player and always will be can't let him go then we will truly be [censored] same with Trac had a disagreement it happens. He will be a Melbourne player.

    Pick 5 and Kosi Pickett for Harley Reid is the bigger thinking idea we should be absolutely chasing if Kozi wants to leave.

     

    Or if [censored] hits the fan, something along the lines of a following trade, but feel free to rearrange it as suits each team:

    Carlton get Petracca

    WCE get Pickett and Carltons pick 11, F1 and 29 

    We get Harley Reid and Carltons Future 1st  Carltons Pick 29

    Edit: WCE would want more so crossed out.

    There is simply no way the Eagles let Reid go unless he is bashing down the door to get out, which if he is, isn't being reported.

    This 'pie in the sky' idea would have to mean we've been in his ear all year, and he wants out but hasn't told anyone, I do agree with you there. 

    Edit: Just saying we absolutely have to chase something big if we will ever entertain trading Pickett or Tracc this year!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
