Yes if the price is right.

Tend to agree. Probably wasn't on our radar

.. but there he is.

Universe can offer up interesting opportunities at times.

    He's OOC too. Will cost basically nothing, I like the look of him, we'd be crazy not to.

    This needs to happen. With May gone, Lever often in the wars, Rivers potentially being used more often in the midfield, Salem entering his 30s and Petty being…whatever Petty is, why would we not make this happen as part of the Clarry deal?

    Because we're not allowed nice things.

    I'm surprised we're not the ones stumping up a draft pick to GWS for taking the 'problem child' off our hands.

    I think a combo of he wants to return home, wants a regular gig and wants money.

    He asked for trade to Saints.

    Hope Tim has his phone number. I wonder if Clarry told Leek that " I will be playing with you next year"

    Tim Lamb said this morning the reason we passed on Derksen was we felt our tall talent was developing well.

    it’ll be interesting if we go after Leek now.

    I know the Saints are supposed to be Bambi and we'e all supposed to be ready to celebrate their second premiership, but this stinks. I truly hope they have cruelled their credibility within the AFL for years to come. Four days ago Gubby Allen was saying we're just going to get this done and now they find they have bungled their numbers or whatever, and they cut Aleer loose having promised him the world.

    What a bunch of donkeys. Long may their flounder. I mean, what have they really imported for all their spending? Silvagni is the definition of a banged up hack. TdK is a wannabe or a maybe, let's see. Keep spending you clowns. Meanwhile we might just pick up the kid you conned into looking to buy a house in Melbourne.

    Ce wont be right now, as Saints were offering him way overs. Unfortunately for them it was GWS trade price that made this fall over

    Because he's terrible one on one and with Disco, Lever and Petty we have that role covered not to mention we have Adams, May and McDonald as key backs.

    St Kilda were reportedly offering 700k a year.

    Let's not blow that cash. We need to bank some up and chase mid/flanker talent and/or a quality tall who really improves us when the time is right.

    This is St Kilda admitting publicly that they can’t believe they’ve been able to hoodwink players into transferring to them.

    Basically they got caught out because they didn’t think there’d be that many suckers in the market.

    What player would believe them going forward?

    It's no different to what we've done with Wade Derksen. we've been chasing him for 2 years only to pull out last minute.

    • 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.
