I'd be super annoyed if Butters makes his way to any of the other Vic clubs especially the Pies.

We should just go after Hinkley as an assistant now for next year, then snap up Butters as a FA end of next year.

    Re; Butters Saw an article that said the doggies were sniffing at 1.5M a year and 2-3 first rounders.

    Geelong waiting in the wings depending on Rowell/Oliver situations.

    Saints seemingly putting eggs in TDK and Leek Aleer baskets.

    (Hold your fire)

    I’m not seeing MFC attracting any of the free agent players or having much draft capital to entice a key player trade

    So look for bargains in young players who are being overlooked at their clubs (not bringing in 28,29,30+ aged players)

    Jaxon Binns. Running midfielder. Drafted pick 32 in 2022 draft. Now in 3rd year. Had 3 games in 2024. Getting constantly overlooked by Blues (behind Cerra,Acres, Hollands & Cottrell). Why I think he’s gettable and adds something? He has good pace. Wins the footy. Very good skills. Dominates VFL. Fits the modern running and transition game. I think he’s out of contract at end of 2025. Dees should offer him a deal and offer Blues peanuts. They ignore him. Just one player to think about.

    i go to the footy with someone related to him regularly

    would love it if he came to the dees

    I see Liam Ryan is open to a move with a year early.... I think he and Kozzy are fairly close so could be one to watch.

    Might be a bit washed, but I'd still love it. One of the best players to watch in the league when he's on.

    That would flip the media on its head wouldn't it...somehow get Liam Ryan and keep Kozzie and have those two playing together they'd love it!

    Or they both end up over there...imagine how sweet if they both ended up here somehow though wowee!

    Vote 1 for Hinkley as head of footy...

    I wonder if we should close this thread, as it seems any good player we would want, is going to Geelong, Collingwood or Hawthorn.

    Don’t forget the new “destination club” st kilda 😂 They love to give us [censored] for our crowds but I don’t think there was more then 10k people at marvel last night. Did they report on the crowd anywhere? It’s a pain they don’t put it in the match reports anymore.

    22,500 ish

    very similar to what we get against flagmantle

    aints are a remarkably similar-sized club to our own, albeit with significant more $$s coming their way from head office

    Makes sense. Looked like a whole lot less for the 15 or so minutes of the game I saw.

    I’ve got massive respect for the club and Ross in particularly for calling out the AFL the other day but I just think it’s ridiculous calling them a destination club purely cause they have a massive war-chest to offer someone. It’s kinda hard to say no to 1.7 million a year if your TDK or whatever player they offer it to next if they miss out on him.

    Crowd apparently was 20,522.

    We've only drawn a lower crowd at a Melbourne home game against Fremantle once in the last 12 years, and that was in 2019, when we got 20,211 (so just a few hundred less).

    None of our home games have been a prime time slot though.

    Are you doing this trade

    >> Kozzy (Freo), Oliver (Geelong)

    << Freos 1st, Freos F1, Geelong 1st,

    Then

    >> Geelong 1st, Freo F1, MFC 2nd

    << Reid.

    Might have to give a little more but to open negotiations.

    Oliver is not worth Geelong's first pick. That's red n blue wishful thinking. He'd get a late 20s or early 30s pick based upon his $1mill+ per year and his output over the last 18 months. A salary dump, to put it bluntly

    The cap space would help if we were going for a big fish or 2

    Kossie should be getting 2 x firsts, one would need to be in top 10. We'd might pay some of his contract to negotiate for better picks

    Sure, I'd like both to stay, especially if Clarry can get back to full fitness. Can't see it happening though

    And Reid would cost 3 x 1sts and $1.5m per year minimum

    methinks he means flagmantle's murphy - not harley - reid

    oliver's lack of return to his incredible best is a disappointment

    anything we trade him for will not be worth it

    He’s a weapon in the back half. Having a good game tonight. Would add a bit of silk to our ball use.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
