Spoke to an Aints mate of mine, who is an astute footy person, he believes he would be an excellent acquisition for us and not just for depth, but to play 22 games plus finals. I like endoresements like these!!

Yes saw Membrey v Eagles (kicked 5) and Blues (kicked 2) and he’s a very good mark and accurate kick.  He’s 31 at start of next season so it’s almost an “like for like” age profile swap with Tomlinson.  Might be worth the punt to give us the added scoring power.

They’re far less unsavoury than Collingwood friends. That’s why! I’ve one also but we’re both Viccos in northern rivers so we Viccy kickies stick together! Plus we’re mad golfers

Can we still get Membrey?  Would be a nice little deal something like a swap for Tomlinson if that could be done, although I don't mind holding on to Tommo either.

 

I really wanted to go for him 3 or so years ago

You are a curious cat Picket with your love of Jefferson yet no faith in our forward line talls… 

Membrey adds little and would only stymie the development of the talls we have. Hardly us “sitting on our hands”.

What exactly is your plan with him?  

The Pies are going all in for a tilt at the Flag. At the end of next season when that fails they’ll be left a rotting carcass of a list. It feels like MaCrae and Leppitsch hold way too much power over the list.

Well??? The bloke is past it and even St Kilda don’t want him, which tells you where he is at

I’d rather be putting time into JVR, Petty, Disco and Jefferson than Membrey.  Spare me!

Spot on! Macrae knows he's got an aging list and they're doing what they can to squeeze out any success while they have Sidebottom, Pendlebury, De Goey, Howe, Elliot, Mitchell, playing alongside Nick Daicos. I don't think any of them are going to get better, only decline. Once they retire they won't have the quality needed to seriously compete. Daicos (spews in mouth) is a generational player that won't be as effective once those players retire.  

Membrey is low-risk option for them to offer depth in an area they have very little while they believe they're a chance for another flag.

The bloke is not a key forward, doesn't even crack 190cms. We have good depth for medium forwards. He is not the answer.

Well he is an Upgrade on Petty!

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
