"is it true" is a pretty poor way to start a rumour thread. Its even worse than "I've heard a whisper" . Who is Sam Faff for a start.

I refuse to raise my hopes. But I cant help it...they've just been frikn raised. Curse you Sam Faff!

    10 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    reckon sam is barking up the wrong tree / looking at the wrong meth coke key forward

    i thought it was waterman we'd made a decent off to?

    Hmm it does say Captain.....

    Either would work for me,

    Would be perfect as shown on Sunday. Given he is still in contract and an RFA at the end of 2025 wondering what it would take to get him? F1 & FFI? Playing as a 26 year old next season it would have to be a 5 year contract on money commensurate to Angus',  perhaps even North of that. Does he ruck at all?

    Liam Duggan is co-captain with Allen.  He is a Victorian so more likely than Allen who hails from WA.

    WCE website on Duggan:

    The highly respected clubman was elevated to co-captaincy alongside Oscar Allen in a changing of the guard at the end of 2023, following several impressive seasons as a tough and reliable on-field contributor. A beacon of consistent effort, Duggan was deployed through the midfield and in his more traditional defensive role depending on need as injuries hit hard, and was rewarded with his first podium placing (third) in the John Worsfold Medal while also receiving Life Membership after notching 150 games in blue and gold. In three of the past four years, Duggan has finished top-five in the Club Champion count and the 27-year-old is charged with helping to lead the young Eagles squad back towards more familiar territory at the higher end of the ladder. At a glance: Junior club: Bacchus Marsh (VIC). Debut: Round 2, 2015. Recruited from: Western Jets (VIC), Brownlow votes: 2.

    A good candidate for the Brayshaw role, perhaps and cover for other star midfielders.  The 'bold' part could be a description of what Gus meant and means to us and how he played.

    I might add he is OOC this year and is an Unrestricted FA ie can go wherever he likes and WCE can;t match.  No trade required. 

    Would be a great get.

    Two Oscars for an Oscar.

    1. Oscar McDonald busted knee and all is at least ‘Way out West’ 🎸

    2. Oskar Baker has the matinee idol looks and is definitely west of the Maribyrnong.

    Love for it to happen. But doubt even the Hollywood dream machine could concoct this fantasy.

    I wouldn’t be starting a thread based on a tweet from one of the worst people on footy twitter who’s paid for his blue tick.

    I don’t think the Eagles would ever entertain moving Allen. Worst case scenario as a restricted free agent in 2025 you match the deal and force a trade or accept a low compo pick. But he’s their young star, captain etc.

    The Waterman story has more legs. They low-balled him last year and his brother has already played in Melbourne. Whilst they have the cap room they probably don’t need 2 star forwards in a deep rebuild and there’s less guarantee that he backs up this years out of the box run of form next year. If they get a deal good enough (and it would have to be really good) I could see them moving him now.

    So who will start the Liam Duggan Thread ?  🙃🤷‍♀️

    The ‘sauce’ also says he will become the highest paid player in the game so he’s not referring to Duggan

    Duggan seems much more likely than a guy who grew up in Perth.

    It’s 99.9% made up but no one is removing their coach for Liam Duggan.

    He just played wing for most of the game and Windsor and Langdon were 2 of the best on ground

    No sympathy for this powerhouse club that prior to the soft cap was spending $300k a week more than Melbourne - $15m a year

    They tanked after their drug-tainted 2006 flag to get the wooden spoon in 2010, were runner up in 2015 won a flag in 2017 and now back on the bottom of the ladder. People have short memories.

    Long may it continue

    Thanks.  Didn't see that anywhere.  Do the Eagles have anyone worth that much ... ?

    Still Duggan would be a good get as an UFA?

    So does our alleged offer to Waterman a strategic one to land Waterman or unlock Allen? Interesting timing that this comes out...

  • Quote

    Honestly would be shocked if Allan was to leave. But I would also pay an arm and a leg for him.

    Allan and Roo up forward is a premiership combo right there, with Kosi and Fritta. Yes please x 100.

    There were certainly rumours last year of us supposedly reaching out to Allen's management as there was some talk he was bit disgruntled with the club and us apparently set to offer a monster deal.

    Could be some truth to this. Not that I think this will grow any more legs pr eventuate, but I have no doubt we've probably done some background check.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • 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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
