    Apparently we are in the box seat to land him according to Josh Gabelich due to the King connection

    Heard that too, Gaeblich is similar to Twomey in terms of having good sources.

    Getting Flanders immediately gives us an immediate upgrade on McVee

    I ponder a 3 way deal...

    Dees get Flanders for McVee and a 2nd rounder, Freo give 11 and get McVee and 2nd rounder, GC give Flanders, get 11

    But he's not an upgrade on Trac if he leaves. And no way are Freo doing that deal.

    Sam Flanders

    “Sam Flanders met with four clubs last week in Melbourne – St Kilda, Melbourne, Essendon and Carlton.

    “He’s got a couple of offers in; he’s going to wait for all four offers to come to his manager before he makes a decision. Got two years to run with the Gold Coast Suns, but the view is now he’ll return to Victoria and play for one of those clubs.

    “I think Melbourne is in the box seat because of his strong relationship with Steven King. I think that certainly helps given the time they spent at the Gold Coats Suns, interim coach at the back end of 2023.

    “He needs a fresh start, he wants to play more in the midfield, he’s been squeezed in the last 18 months under Damien Hardwick.

    “As Sam Edmund reported late last week, St Kilda has come very hard for Sam Flanders, so that spending spree appears to continue.”

    King:“For his football, should he go to St Kilda, or should he go to Melbourne? I just think he’s going to get more opportunity at St Kilda.

    Cornes: “St Kilda is a better proposition for him. I’d rather be playing at St Kilda than Melbourne – they seem a complete mess the Dees, don’t they?”

    King: “Complete mess is strong.”

    Cornes: “Their best player (Christian Petracca) wants out, (Judd) McVee is gone, who’s pulling the strings? New coach comes in… I’d rather go to the Saints.”

    King: “I agree.”

    Gabelich: “Melbourne is clearly going to be a big talking point in the trade period. They are going to be as active as anyone for who’s coming and who’s going.”

    Yesterday King was at fault for McVee leaving, now he’s the reason we may land Flanders.

    Love Demonland.

    Cornes’ comments are moronic. He hates Green. Hates the MFC and never has anything positive to say. We have moved the coach. Appointed King. Are in the process of rejuvenating the list. He can [censored] off. St Kilda are nowhere near it and have moneyballed next season. They won’t win it and will be back to square one in no time.

    This should be in the Media Madness thread also. They are 99% morons and shill either for their own club or the top 4.

    Get ready for the whole “why would anyone go to Melbourne” narrative to be run 10273 times per day as Trade Radio starts in 2 hours and runs for 2.5 weeks. Kane’s on every day!

    Cornes made a righteous [censored] of himself at the wrong time in the GF. He was talking up Geelong 5 minutes before 3/4 time and basically saying Brisbane were cooked and barely before he takes his next breath Brisbane bust the game open. He sounds smooth but on air but no one can smell the [censored] he talks. Only hear it.

    Then watch us make good deals and scoop up some good players that see value in our list and like what King is saying.

    Love Demonland.

    Both things can be true though:

    King on Judd - (maybe) no while I'm coach everyone plays a team game and while I'll give players opportunity to expand and extend their capabilities, team comes first. I want you to play with flair, but I see you as a defender first and we'll see where things go.

    Flanders likes King from his time at GC and feels like he can trust King from his experience with him as both an assistant and short term senior coach.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
