27.

You’d think the plan is that he’ll be here until at least the end of 2026 and then possibly be traded at that point, at peak value, before he becomes a free agent where we’d only get a singular draft pick via compo.

    We were very interested in small forward Joe Berry from last year's draft who went to Port Adelaide.

    Jason Taylor and his team made several trips up the border here to Wangaratta to interview over the course of the year.

    Maybe worth keeping an eye on over the next few years.

    If Freo got their way, they would’ve snapped Berry up, but Port jumped ahead. Reckon Berry would’ve been in red and blue had he gone to Freo and Koz wanted to go the other way at the end of this season.

    This is a complete non-issue given that Kozzie is contracted for another three seasons. The Dockers are being mischievous if they are bringing it up so unless they are prepared to offer us both Andrew Brayshaw and Serong in exchange, they would be wise to look elsewhere.

    That the club has been silent on Gleesons obvious conflict - most specifically the Maynard case - has turned me right off the club. Shockingly soft. 

    That is bring a soft fan if ever I have heard of it. 

    Yes a statement of protest before the result would have been sensible after it was known that MRO Christian dated he would resign if there was a case when Laura Kane over took the action to charge the AFL should not allow a Pies conflicted official like Gleeson to be anywhere near the case. It should be a rule in the tribunal and other cases that that’s not allowed. 

    That  should have been placed as a change for the AFL to make to their Tribunal cases in the future.

    Christian should also have been moved on at that time and replaced by an independent MRO Officer who had no history of Club affiliation. 

    But to give up on the Club is weak and unproductive in the extreme.

    When Maynard gets nothing for ending a career and Kozzie gets 3 for an unlucky bump, the system is stuffed.

    The BS technicalities applied to get big club’s players off like Cripps, who ended a Lions’ season, are symptomatic of a money above all else based sport. 

    Irrespective of the circumstances (sure, he was unlucky to connect with Moore's head), his initial action was to choose to bump. And players have been on notice about bumping for quite a while now. His action was undisciplined, which seems to be becoming a regular thing with Pickett. He needs to get it out of his game.

    I’m starting to think you are the Maynard equivalent on this board 58er. Always playing/attacking at the man (other poster’s), whilst in play (on the topic), sniping away. 
     

    Just saying.

    Perhaps you left your self wide open for a response. It’s a forum and who else should I attack theMFC.? 

    I have given my response and honestly believe if every supporter abandoned the Club for such a small as you have threatened we wouldn’t have many fans left. 

    Yes the Club shoild have been more proactive but support the Club or are you just looking for an easy way to not buy a membership?

    Yep because contracted players never request trades/get traded.

    They can be, but the power lies with the club that has the contract. They can choose the trade if the price is right. If the dockers low balled Richmond over Shai Bolton they wouldn’t have traded him. Just turned out the dockers had multiple first round picks.

    Why do you need to attack anyone at all - you have an option not to. It is an option.

     With the salary cap set to hit a staggering $17.7m in 2025, the number of annual million-dollar players is set to surge.

    Lets have a rough guess at Dockers high rollers.

    Jackson. Darcy. Brayshaw. Serong. Pearce. Young. Bolton.  Cox. Treacy. Clark. Amiss and Warner next year.

    I would guess about $8m for 8 of them and $3m for the other 4.

    That would leave at a guess about $6.5m for the other 32 players on the list.

    That is about $203k per player. Fyfe, Walters, Frederick etc in that group of 32.

    Don't think they have a lot of money to splash around if they get Warner.

    Jeez i wish i was in charge of list management.

    Trac and Kozzie,you signed big Multi Million/Year deals,you are both staying until the end of your contract,suck it up.

    Contracts seem so worthless these days,all players are Free agents,regardless of age,I want to go home for family reasons.

     

     

    It also has to be balanced against the negligent claims and tirades of disrespectful, opportunity-knocks, put-down observers in the media, riddling in other clubs with their loyalties and fanciful desires as if the  player concerned, the Club concerned and the general public are open and malleable-enough to believe, or accept or focus on such utter tripe churned out in the name of income or stirring of excrement for advantage.

    I'm not sure if this is something Freo have brought up or the West Australian, and yes, it's a non-issue, because they're only referring to his exit interview last October where he stated he is homesick at times, but the media conveniently left out that he is happy with the way the club handles that, and allows him time to go home on occasion.  What new information is there now?  None!  It the rag of a newspaper being mischievous.  Again.

    A Freo supporter on Bigfooty alleges Kozzie had a meeting with Longmuir and he couldn’t have reached for the exit door quick enough.

    Hopedully there is a semblance of truth to that.

    Kozzie or Longmuir?

    I’m honestly sick of this home sickness [censored].
     

    I have friends and family who work overseas (Europe, Africa, Asia, NA) doing all kinds of work ranging from finance, healthcare, high level IT work, large scale infrastructure development etc which are examples of work that require specialized training and they make do with Zoom and face time calls.

    They only rarely ever visit home during the holiday period and specialized times. 

    BUT, god forbid these AFL footballers growing homesick when domestic flights are 2, 3, 4, 5 hours away… don’t get me started on tennis players like John Millman, now retired toiling away in the top 100 mark 42 weeks per year just trying to make a living worldwide and hardly anytime to visit home. 🤦‍♂️

    You sign a contract so you stay until it expires!

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
