Pretty sure Hardwick has shot down the Flanders rumours. Don't think Jacko is coming. And Browne is apparently close to re-signing at GWS.

Bit of a nothing article, really

Jackson was never coming

    more success or less without May and having Hogan?

    Am I misremembering or did Hogan ask to be traded to his home state?

    I remember desperately wanting to keep him and being resigned to the fact there was little we could do: he didn't want to be at the club.

    Hogan departs Melbourne

    “While we are disappointed to lose the high-quality player that Jesse is, we respect this decision and his request for a trade,” Mahoney said.

    “Jesse has been through some significant personal trauma in the past 18 months, and he has close ties to family members, including his mother, brother and sister, back in Western Australia.

    “As a club, we understand that being closer to family in Perth is Jesse’s priority, and we appreciate the positive impact this can have on his wellbeing.”

    Since debuting against Gold Coast in round 1, 2015, the forward has played 71 matches, including 20 this past season.

    alex dodson who i know personally and who we were linked to in the draft last year would be handy.... 18 years old and destroying these two

    with rowan marshall and tdk coming next year im not sure he gets much of a shot at the saints, really don't know how he fell to 53 we could have easily got him

    Well I mentioned Liam McMahon not long ago but looking like he’ll get a real shot at the bombers.

    Has anyone watched Harry Lemmey from Carlton play in the vfl?

    Alright, so.. is there anything new or any targets after all the ones thrown up are now mostly taken?

    Who are most likely looking at, and who are we shipping out?

    Sam Flanders name gets mentioned. He’s one player that would fit perfectly in our best 18. He might get squeezed by the Suns as they have more young midfielder talent getting drafted this year. Not beyond reach in my view. Maybe an end of 2026 likely push on him.

    He’s definitely one I’d be getting in the ear of

    Wasted on the half forward flank while Rioli and Noble take his half back minutes and the Suns prioritise their young mids

    It was just reported on Channel 7 news by McGuire that Wade Derksen, GWS swing man, looks likely to be playing in Victoria next season and Melbourne is the front runner.

    What position does he play for us?

    Thinking he is a forward / ruck

    Definitely not a ruck, but can play as key position on both ends

    If he comes to us he could be handy, but it needs to be borne in mind that he will be 24 and has been at the Giants for over 3 years and hasn’t yet played a senior game.

    GWS “reserves” leading goalkicker.

    We’re not gonna anyone, no one will come to club coached by Goodwin, reckon we’ll lose a few but wont get any. I curse my old man for forcing me to bleed red & blue, the most frustrating team in the world. I’ve supported them all my 60 years, one flag we couldn’t go to, never had our own home, we’re the only team that always loses games they should win. Carlton have been a rabble all year but they still beat the pathetic Melbourne football club!!

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
