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.

    Do the media know any other clubs exist?

    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

    Wonder if we throw our hat in the ring for Wayne Milera

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

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
