The rumour here is that (as with Ben Hudson) a Victorian based club is prepared to offer him the two year deal he is looking for....

Just thought it was worth a Yes or No from the Demonland folk.....

I am pretty much in the No category due to the fact that he is injury prone.....

The question is....

Are we the one's who have offered him this two year deal?!?!?!?!?!

why the hell would we want him? we would be just contridicting ourselves with the whole <24 thing we have going on....he is not that great..belly showed that he is beatable...he will just make the development of a younger player harder by taking their spot...he is the same age as Robbo so if he came to the club, Neitz robbo and welsh would all retire at roughly the same time, leaving three vacancies and not enough practise in those positions....

lets just hope this rumour is as true as the J$U$D$D$$$$$ rumous


Oh noooooooo... Not Welsh...

Is it politcally correct to say we should Welsh on the deal?

I am a bit bemused.

I thought he was a pretty good player....

I wonder how much he wants?

One would think DB might have a pretty good idea what he is like.

 

Personally I'd prefer to take a punt on Pfeiffer or Sampi. Both under 24 and have just as much talent as Welsh. DB would be foolish to take a 28 year old medium forward approaching the twilight of his career.

i would have taken welsh if we could have gotten a first rounder out of robbo...

but otherwise id rather the spot on the list goes to a younger player...


As long as we use 4 - 14- 21 on best availiable kids in draft & get Sampi also, I say lets get him

if he's going cheap. DB would clearly know a fair bit about his worth from his time in Adelaide.

Sampi is fat as. Welsh is an ok player in bursts but not what were looking for. No deal. And while im on Sampi mfc better not pick him up as he will never get to be the right size...that is unless everyone is hungry haha

I concur. Welsh more often than not has wiped the floor with us. I say we should use our three first picks on kids, our fourth pick on Sampi and our PSD pick on Welsh.

HF: Davey Newton Robinson

FF: Sampi Neitz Welsh

Has my approval.

Last I heard, Channel 9 had confirmed Judd was signed sealed and deliviered to Melbourne, too.

I think Welsh is an ok player whose had some bad luck.

On the one hand I think the Crows are being a bit pissy not offering him two years, on the other hand I don't think it would be much of an addition to our list, for immediate need or long term, if we grabbed him.

So it's a no from me on Welsh, particularly if he's asking for a full senior player's wage. If it's an old Welsh for $200,000 vs young Sampi for $60,000 then it's a no-brainer out of the two, whatever doubts we might have on Sampi.

What are you suggesting? That Melbourne's forward line is about to become a refuge for the inmates of a nursing home?

We already have Neitz, Robbo and Yze and we need another near 30 yo?

Go figure?


Why would we want him? He's like a slightly lesser version of Robbo.

Seriously I would be very [censored] off if we got him, I don't see the point when we could pick up a kid who will still be around when we're challenging for the flag.

The Sampi move I like because he's only 23/24, but Welsh? No, we don't need him.

He is slow and inconsistent as well and has had his fair share of injuries.

This is just Kent Kingsley mark 2....

Next.

whos robinson? where did we get him from?


Above all else...

TOO OLD.

Is that the most annoying thing in the world or what?

No offence to the people who make that mistake, I can understand it... but with the so-called footy experts, and especially the commentators they really should know better...

Some of the worst offenders, S.O.S., Daicos and I think Healy has been guilty a few times...

Almost makes you yearn for the days of McGuire... "Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrobertsooooooooooooon!!!!!!"

... Almost...

If we get Welsh cheaply, i have no problem with it.

He has towelled us up a few times, is a straight kick and applies great foward pressure with his strong tackling. Something we lack.

He is a little injury prone, but so are our other fowards. It would be good to have a bit of depth, so we have someone else to kick to if Neitz and Robbo go down again.

? Vardy MK 2?

Vardy was a gun who played at least a couple of sensational season with us. Also, was he 28 when we got him?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
