Our haste in resigning Marty Hore was ridiculously breathtaking. More haste less speed ( ie less Hore) 

We didn’t need another HBF like Hore more likely a mid like Culley or Boy ( Roy) George as a HFF/mid. 

Does the Kolt injury not open up a spot?

    He could be playing by round 6 so I doubt it, I’d be putting Kentfield on that list for George or Culley

    I've been to several of the pre-season training mornings at Gosch's and I come away thankful that we have Hore as a backup. There are days when I have him in the side. He is better now than he was first time round. He is a professional in everything he does. He makes it difficult for many of our forwards with a full set of defensive skills. He can play on talls or smalls. Don't write him off. I won't be surprised if he gets games in 2025. He is legitimate depth. Every successful team needs them.

    Marty is in seriously good shape this year as well. He looks exceptionally lean and is moving very well. Makes the occasional brain fade on game day but he is great depth.

    marty hore can play a role for us if required

    very happy to have him on the list

    if a spot becomes open by feb 19, it would seem culley is more likely than george at this point, judging from track watcher's reports?

    i also assume that ralph has combined george and mentha into the same player because he is, quite frankly, not a great judge of players

    He look unbelievably fit doesn't he.

    He's in the mix with tmac and Howes for a defensive position i reckon.

    I’d be happy with Culley.

    Club needs to bite the bullet and put BOTH Kentfield And Tholstrup on Long Term list, therefore opening up spots for Mentha and Culley!

    Do you mean Roy George and not Mentha?

    They won’t put Kolt on it as they will be hoping to get him back around mid season

    & Howe’s looks ready. Been impressed with the vision I’ve seen of him so far this pre season.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
