The young players at the MFC are unsettled? Really? They're all getting opportunities and most starting to show their wares.

I know some of them were a bit shellshocked after a big post West Coast bake, but I haven't heard anything about being unsettled...

I have also heard some parents of younger players not happy with a few things, which have occurred since the end of last season. 
 

Nothing terminal but a few things need to be sorted out moving forward

Which means Trac can play more forward?? 

Trac won't want to play forward again in a hurry after the knee to his spleen.

Surely no one’s shocked by this

I would look at Jack Silvagni. I know he is coming off a knee injury but I like his versatility as a forward, midfielder and second ruck.

Absolutely agree.  I have no idea why Blues fans hate him so much, maybe they don't like his Mums ads for Chemist Warehouse or whatever it is. 

Change of scene may do him good.  And possibly some moisturiser.

Apologies if this has been covered off, but doing a bit of a stocktake (happy new financial year Dees fans!) and we *should* have salary cap space in lieu of:

  • BBB
  • Brayshaw
  • Smith
  • Hunter / Billings / McAdam?
  • Laurie

The first two should be a nice chunk of change.  Surely we can go after some talent?

Billings, Mcadam and Laurie are all contracted so won’t be going anywhere. The others are likely, plus Tomlinson.

Reckon Laurie, McAdam and possibly Billings are contracted in 2025.

King has kicked 159.115 in his first 5 seasons in a terrible team with zero skilled mids. Including a 52.49 season  

And people compare him to Weid? 

[censored] me. watch some football  He us 202cm  he would transform our team

Question marks over his body are there but I would give up 2 first rounders any say of the week for him

Hold your horses, we can get him with one pick, maybe two only if St Kilda pays 30% of his contract

King is staying with the Saints and they are working on a new contract.

Here is the list and I’d like all of them.

Lukosius- to play back

Waterman- He and JVR 🤤

Lobb- 3rd tall and Ruck

Dylan Shiels- won’t cost much and apparently back to peak powers. 
 

Just need a medium defender.

 

Howes to wing, Juddy and Rivs to play more midfield along with Windsor.

Don't mind this, but just keep Howes at half back as medium defender.

If we bring in Rory Lobb a few Demonlanders heads will explode I imagine...

Please no Rory Lobb...

Isn't there anyone else we can bring as a second ruck? Ideally Kalany White will be with us at the end of next year.

I really don't think there are many options out there unfortunately, so who knows maybe we will have a crack with Rory Lobb....

Kalani White won't drafted until 2025 and even then will take a good 2-3 years to be a consistent performer.

Mabior Chol was the one we probably should've gone for last year, but even he is pretty inconsistent.

We had the best ruck/forward in the league.... but he got homesick

Homesick or Moneysick? 😜

lukosious is a forward - playing him at half back is an incredible waste

Was a defender and a very very good one, with the best field kicking of all key defenders.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
