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!

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
