We were linked with Ryan Angwin last year before he signed a two year contract. Hasn't had many opportunities but has played the last 5 games and starting to look comfortable at senior level averaging 18.5 disposals.

Plays wing and half back, is tough and a good kick. If he falls out of favour again or wants to return to vic I'd be asking the question. Giants have form of not letting contracted players go however so might be one for next year.

Tigers and Swans in the hunt for Rosas Jnr, Dees not mentioned (via Fox Footy)

Rosas Jnr is the type of player we MUST strongly target. If we are to keep giving Kozzy more midfield time (which we definitely should) then we need a dangerous player in the forward line with speed, and goal sense. No brainer to get him in, stuck behind multiple players at the Suns and is unlucky to be in their side.

Agreed, Suns are stacked for forward half talent and I hope we get to benefit from it

 

Media will say we are interested in players (not AA quality ones though) but unlikely they will say we are leading the chase. I expect them to basically talk any players likely to want to come to MFC out of it.

Yes, it's all a media PSYOP.

Dan Houston was about to join the Dees until Jon Ralph got in his ear apparently 🤣

Dan Houston backed out because he listened to his manager, not some hack journalist.

What's next? Player buys real estate after consulting Tom Morris?

If so Ralph did us a favour.

Has not performed at recent Port level.

One report was he may be dropped given the number of Pies players to come back.

Dodged a bullet!

"They've discussed him and are weighing up a possible move for him in the trade period."

Author duly noted btw - credibility factor, then, as previously established.

Not only that, it would have cost us the pick we used for Lindsay who's going to be an excellent 200+ gamer for us. What he's doing off the back of an interrupted pre-season in his first year is ridiculous.

Apologies I should have put sarcasm at the end of my post - was just taking the [censored] at those who thinks it’s the media’s fault that few high quality players have joined in recent years

Henry Smith from Brisbane looks quite a good forward/ruck.

Worth a look into when he’s off contract at end 2026.

Even better if we could nab him earlier.

Exactly!!!

Memo to MFC Recruitment.

Do not recruit anymore key forwards under 200cm, we have enough of them and they are no benefit without big bopper.

I think the last few years has actually been good. Langford. Lindsay.

However forward stocks has always been our issue. They seem to think that we don’t need forwards and only get mids.

I think Smith would be brilliant.

Lever is exactly the kind of player we should be moving on and would be fantastic for North.

No way we're going to be moving on one of Goody's favourites though.

Disagree. Lever has captain written all over him. Just had a bad ankle.

From memory at the time Houston's management was the same as Tracc and Clarry so undoubtedly he knew a lot more about what was going on in the Dees in 2024 than we did.

Surprised there isn't more noise around bringing Ryan Maric back to Melbourne. Long term May replacement? Off contract end of 2026.

he gets junk disposals, takes kick ins wraps around for handballs and kicks it long, as soon as they rolled him up to the wing he couldn't find it, McCarthy took his spot for a month and now theyve swapped so mccarthy is higher and maric is just kicking it sideways or 50m contest bombs

Posted in 'The List Manager' thread, but probably more relevant here. Geelong have tabled a four year offer to Worpel, matching the existing Hawthorn offer - as per Jay Clark's reporting.

Assuming reasonable coin that is overs for a meat and potatoes solid mid. I hope people remember things like this when they whine that Geelong and the Pies win all the trades and why dont we.

No. It would be "player wears headband after going to play for Geelong".

Hawks supporters seem to be happy to see him out the door. They have plenty of young inside mids like Hustwaite who can perform the same role. Massive ball butcherer too.

I'm a big fan and a player I'd readily take in the red and blue. Would definitely assist in correcting some deficiencies we have. But I haven't seen us linked with him at all anywhere, apart from a dodgy 'X' post from an unvalidated 'trade' page (and I use that term very loosely).

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
