I see Tarryn Thomas may be given a life line from the Saints. That’s despicable. If it was us I would not renew my membership.

He will s*** in the Saints nest like he did at Norf

He should not be on an AFL list or involved in the AFL ever again

Jack Lukosius on the market this year, another KPF too look at. Not necessarily the bulking KF like Waterman but an amazing kick and has a lot to like.

He's a nice kick, maybe if we trade Fritta, but I'd prefer Wright. We don't want too many who struggle at ground level in.our forward half.

He's one player I've been interested in for a lot of this year. As a player, I'd welcome him to the Dees. He's not the big bodied traditional style KPF - but his ball use and shot on goal action is great. He's one of those players who doesn't necessarily do a lot, but does a lot right and can be very damaging from a scoring perspective off limited possessions. 

My concern about him coming to us doesn't actually relate to him per se, it's more about whether he would be an effective player for us given our forward 50 entries.

He would improve our forward 50 entries as a roaming CHF. Worth a look dependant on the cost.

Agree with this and he's in a nice age bracket.

On a lighthearted note did anyone watch the boomers game against serbia the other night. There were 2 big targets from Serbia. I did comment at the time gee one could sit at ff and the other could ruck. They were huge. 

On a serious note anyone that can use the ball well, kick straight and does not get injured. 

Waterman would be a good target. He is a good mark and kicks goals and if he was with us at least he can't kick another bag agianst us like he did last time.

Probably why the majority of 200cm+ players in the AFL aren't athletic.... better to go play basketball and earn way more money!

Forget about Houston go for Lukosius. Port would let Houston go for a high draft pick in order to get Lukosius. Spare the middleman and go directly for Lukosius. He is a beautiful kick, plays at both ends and is much younger than Houston. He is a much better footballer than Jack Watts.

He plays both ends because he’s not good enough to hold down a spot at either. His goal kicking is great forward but his contest and work rate are poor, he’s a beautiful ball user at half back but refuses to defend.

He’s Watts with a better strength and conditioning program but the same lack of killer instinct.

Someone’s going to try to get it out of him and maybe as he matures he’ll deliver. It’s not a gamble I’d be wanting to take

What about Will Brodie instead?

Footywire has him out of contract end of 2026 but not a bad shout, can't see him playing for Freo again in a hurry

There was a time when Membrey played like Wayne Carey every time he lined up against the Dees.

We would be a better team with Lukosius.

Great bloke but on the decline as a footballer and has some baggage, i'd probably prefer us back in Turner, Jefferson and Van Rooyen.

We’ll lose Ben Brown and Schace from the list, Melksham future uncertain, we’ve got to have at least some sort of experience / depth in the forward line if one of the troops you mentioned go down, he’d be solid insurance, out of contract and just turned 30 so still a couple years left at least

    THE HEAT IS ON by Meggs

    FNQ will be hot and sultry this Thursday night when the mighty Demons take on the highflying Hawks at up there Cazalys Stadium in Cairns.   The Demons once again rebrand for Indigenous Round as ‘Narrm’, the Woi Wurrung name for Melbourne in the language of the traditional owners.   Narrm has surged back up the ladder and sits just outside the eight on percentage with 5 wins. Our opponents Hawthorn sit second with 8 wins and have been become really offensive.

    2024 Player Reviews: #50 Ben Brown

    Coming to Melbourne after seven years as a leading goal kicker at North Melbourne, Brown was well known for his unique, extremely long run up on set shots for goal. After some early setbacks injury wise settled into the full forward position in time to play a big role in the 2021 premiership win with three goals. Unfortunately, the remainder of his time at the club was hampered by injury including the need to undergo knee surgery. He retired from playing football at the end of the season after 4

    Brown, the son of former Demon hard nut Nathan Brown, made a couple of cameo appearances as a substitute which included a brilliant run down tackle which may have saved the game against the Kangaroos. Had some outstanding games at VFL level and finished equal sixth in the best & fairest at Casey.

    AWESOME FOURSOME by Meggs

    The rejuvenated Demons out tussled the Tigers by 13 points to make it four wins on the trot on Saturday which means that the slight possibility of a finals appearance remains alive in 2024. This is despite the AFLW handicapping the Demons against their peers yet again (more later). Lots to celebrate as it was Kids Day at Casey Fields and both teams ran onto the ground modelling their Pride jumpers.   Kate Hore won the toss and kicked to the Clyde end. Thankfully, the notorious Casey

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind.

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 03

    Part 3: Happier Days by Whispering Jack It would be fair to say that when the Melbourne Football Club entered the free agency and trade period earlier this month, its reputation was flagging, if not in tatters. The club was taking a battering in the media and social media over a number of issues, some real and others imaginary and even fabricated, relating to the running of the club, team performance and its culture, a build up that’s been taking place for more than twelve months.
