    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.”

    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.

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

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
