I would love us to have a crack at 

1 Tim Membrey

2 Matt Kennedy

and possibly 

3 Matt Owies

all would be upgrades for us

Like all of these options, and Finn Maginness.  Obviously for the right price.

Membrey will be a delisted FA, I really like Kennedy to play the Brayshaw role.

But we are into Sharp and obviously want Derkson if we can get him, so i doubt we bring in many more after those two

 

The update…close of business Friday 11 October 2024 

LIST UPDATE Tom Campbell - delisted free agent … 32yo VFL ruckman. Signed up 4/10/24 🤔

Wade Derksen - 2 1/2 yrs with GWS. Zero games.  Nominated the Dees but GWS standing firm saying no trade 🤬

James Peatling - GWS - has sought trade to the Crows. Dees one of five interested clubs (missed out) 🥵

Dan Houston - originally planning a move to the Dees then all the dramas at MFC seemingly killed that move. Houston said committed to Port. Houston move then back in to Vic … Kangas, filthy Pies and arrogant Blues in the race (Dees to miss out) 🤮

Matt Owies - Dees originally linked but seems to have cooled. Media reporting his salary is high at >$600k. (We should pass on this) 👍🏻

Clayton Oliver potential move to Cats gets media filth bags all excited. Pert reportedly shopping Clarry around.  Tim Lamb says never was on the cards despite Clarrys farm visit!! (Relief)  Damien Barrrett, Sam McClure, Greg Baum, Matthew Lloyd all continue to stir up rumours that this is untrue and Clarry will walk to the Cats (he’s under contract but this doesn’t stop mud throwing journos) 

Harry Sharp - Brisbane Lions - like Kiwi in the Melbourne Cup, has come from nowhere to apparently be ready to sign up with the Dees. Played 6 games in 2024   Sees better opportunities at the Dees, with his run and carry style being sought after  At 22years, he has some upside still and his endurance will be an asset. 

Pick swaps rumours. Dees seeking moves with Lions or Suns. Dees future 1st potentially on the table plus a mix of our current picks. Wait and see how and what eventuates as pick swaps can be ongoing up until and including on the draft night  

All quiet on MFC showing any interest in Brandon Parfitt. 🤔🤔🤔

😭ANB returned home to Adelaide for pick “28” - likely be pick 34/35 after academy and father son bids &  matching

Saints sizing up to have a crack at TDK by the sounds of it.

My brain doesn’t function well enough to remember the initials of every AFL player, and the only TDK that immediately springs to mind for me, is the old cassette tape brand. Who is it?

Hope we are too 

I'd be throwing the bag at TDK & Leek Aleer

I think there was a report last year that we had interest in Aleer

Let’s hope that’s true 👀

I would be amazed if he ended up at St Kilda, no matter how much they offer him.

The Saints deal is overs but I wouldn't be against throwing him a mega deal, great successor for Gawn who can genuinely play forward and mark the footy before moving into the ruck full time

It is enormous money in todays terms (and still pretty big money in future terms) but salary cap goes up and Gawn/May deals won’t be on our books in a few years

He has huge potential but is still not consistent enough at this stage and will never be as good as Max

Rookie Quinton Narkle.

If the Kozzy trade is likely, Bobby Hill is a great replacement. OOC at the Pies and looking for $$$ in his next deal, can we provide?

Is the OOC status correct? Not challenging you directly, but some reporting over the past 12 months states he's OOC at the end of 2026, whilst other reporting states it's this year.

I usually go to Footywire and that has him OOC at the end of 2025... who knows though

He is indeed contracted to '26, good call. Still fits our timeline for a recruitment if we can hold out one more year before a Koz trade is done.

I’d rather lose Kossie. 

Than who Narkle or Hill? 
Ridiculous decision if either are available.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
