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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
