waterman another key forward that we've chased in the last few years and not been able to get across the line:

  • ben brown - 3 year deal that really was washed midway thru the 2nd year

  • taylor walker - refused to leave adelaide for family reasons

  • tom lynch - felt he owed it to the tigs

  • jake waterman - used us to leverage a better deal at meth coke

plus the high level talent we've tried to add to the midfield / defensive run:

  • adam cerra - didn't have the assets to get the deal done

  • dan houston - spooked by our cultural fit / unwillingness to not use the pick that became langford

not being able to get more than 1 of these 6 targets has been a major issue

    proper key forwards are so, so hard to find

    They are so hard to find; issue being our recruiting team couldn’t find a key forward amongst the winners of the previous 50 years of coleman winners.. they’d either pick one and trade them off for scraps or go with another player who barely get 4 touches a game.

    LDU was always a long shot to get.

    We should of gone hard for his Norf team mate Nick Larkey a couple of seasons ago.

    We did.

    Not a trade target , but why we didn’t select Logan Morris in the draft a couple of years back when we are screaming out for key forwards that can mark and kick goals, I have no idea !!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
