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?

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

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.

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

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?

I really don't see an issue with it. Playing the field to see his worth. Club can always say no. Waterman is doing the same at the Eagles off the back of our interest.

Club has to pay 95% of the cap and players have to accept less so that all the stars can fit on the list. If the highest paid player goes and we're only recruiting from the draft then that extra money should be spread around the senior players.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
