    This makes me question what a woman 10yrs older is seeing in him. He seems nice but not the brightest

    Agreed

    FWIW Rhino is a good journo, so I don’t doubt he’s genuinely reporting what he’s heard from his sources

    But you’d be naive to think this is anything but an attempt to appease the club and kick the can down the road

    Houston said he wasn’t leaving and we know how that ended up… where there’s smoke there’s fire

    I'm not happy about it cos it means we'll lose Kozzy for nothing and get Jackson back for him who we don't really need considering Max is still the best in the comp.

    Just how many years do you think are left in Max??… I give him one or two (tops) as his body is starting to show the strain of pretty much carrying the entire team for so long. We are going to need a new number 1 ruck, and that sure as hell will not come from the next draft.

    If he goes there will be trouble.

    But if he stays there will be double.

    Dogga has 15 weeks left, plus any finals Freo make. He doesn't want to be booed for 15 weeks. That's all this is. We'll see you soon, LJ.

    It's May so of course they have to tow the line for now to kill the trade talk.

    In my opinion I think this is a huge watch this space.

    Unfortunately, with the lack of a first round pick this year, the only way I see this getting done is through the loss of one of Pickett/Oliver/Petracca.

    Hopefully our trading team have a few creative solutions in mind that don't involve the loss of any of the above.

    I think that his manager just pouring as much cold water as possible so it doesn't become a huge talking point throughout the season.

    I can see this becoming a huge distraction on Jackson on field.

    Worth noting that Ryan Daniels is famously a Freo propaganda journalist. He says whatever the club tells him to say. His words mean very little in the scheme of things.

    Might have to add Fritsch to that list.

    yep its the sort of thing you'd say once you have told the club you want to leave. It does mainly two things: 1) stops the speculation and constant distractions 2) tries to level the trade negotiations as a player wanting out is seen as a weaker hand.

    Rucks are becoming less important in the modern game. Many coaches don't care too much about the ruck, they're happy to break even. I don't read replies or reactions

    Absolutely complete bollocks.

    The last club that could remotely be said about is the tigers back in 2017 and the blues sround the same time.

    Terrority is just too critical to not worry about the ruck.

    Why? Don’t we have future picks to play with?

    He can’t play the whole season with people thinking he will leave

    Refute the claims Houston style

    We need to work out away of keeping kossi, and getting Jackson back, offering 2 future first plus a fringe player( maybe Mcvee ) would be the perfect outcome.

    I'm starting to come around to this way of thinking. I've long been anti-ruck, but I think you're spot on.

    Unless of course you bring +2 or 3 to the stoppage to out number.

    Overall I think rucks are overrated and the last three premiers have all had below average rucks in the grand final. Not saying the clubs didn’t worry about rucks though

    But I think rucks like LJ and TDK are incredibly important in the modern game. They are probably two of the most important players at their clubs and I would love either of them at Melbourne.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.
