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 🤣

    Truly you can't believe this?!

    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!

    In a week like this, particularly; so many posts, so little time! Sorry if I've missed this being posted by others...

    North Melbourne "weighing" up move for premiership defend...

    "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

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
