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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
