What about this guy...

 

 

He’s the one I’d be after if there’s even a sniff that he’d want to return home to Victoria 

Offer him Trac’s contract if need be (too soon?)

Should've just drafted him in the first place. Him and Anderson were always going to wind up the best players from that draft.

It’s either Andy Brayshaw now or we’ll wait for next year (at a minimum).

No way we move him for picks. 


I received the following intel from a source close to the club but wished to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the matter

If Fremantle’s Hayden Young does ask the Dockers for a trade, it’s understood he wants to play for Melbourne. 

The Demons are fully aware of Young's desire to join them in the event he chooses to leave Fremantle. 
 

pass it on...

Who cares what Dane Swann thought of Pert? Has no bearing on anything. Just peddling scuttlebutt.

Sure thing champ. 
 

Playing group who played under CEO for almost a decade has an opinion on his leadership. Somehow that’s relevant because of…reasons?

That Swan and whoever anonymous else at Collingwood allegedly  didn't like Pert several years ago isn't relevant. As said. Champ.

He’s been in AFL management for 17 years. Somehow the playing groups opinion of his performance for the majority of that career (~10 years) isn’t relevant. 
 

Make that make sense.

Is that for real or just a swipe at how the media creates something out of nothing by starting a completely unfounded rumour?

Swipe at how rumours pass as news these days

What a perfect year of AFL football. There has never been a football of AFL like this football year of AFL. 

Yikes… coming from his management

Hard not to see this happening if he’s still keen on a move come the trade period and we get a strong offer from Freo or WC


Get the feeling this is his management leveraging the current situation for a contract renegotiation.

Wtf is all this BS.

So the man extends contract two months ago and now he wants to leave.

Amateur hour AFL, only here this could happen. Well maybe in the NBA too.

Is that even legal/ethic?

Why not? If Petracca goes there will be a 1m+ hole in the cap to be filled.

Viney leveraged an offer from North to get an extension with us only a couple of weeks ago.

One thing is to have a third party spreading rumours. But to have your own reps to go and offer your services to a rival club while under contract?

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • 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?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
