NON-MFC: Trade Talk
Some more updates from Sam Edmund Dan Houston (Port Adelaide) āHe was strongly linked to Melbourne for a time and that did appear the most likely outcome before things further unraveled at the Demons,ā Edmund said. āThereās the possibility that he remains at Port, but with the Melbourne door closing theyāve been looking at other avenues. āOne of those avenues is absolutely St Kilda. There has been conversations between club and player here. My understanding is Houston has a level of interest in getting to Moorabbin. āAs things stand, he is one to watch when it comes to St Kildaās trade period.ā Tim Membrey (St Kilda) āHeās an unrestricted free agent, so that appeals to clubs. Heās only 30 and heās unsure where he sits at St Kilda at the moment. Heās half expecting to be permitted to seek a trade elsewhere.ā āThere have been preliminary conversations with North Melbourne and I think a few other clubs, but nothing has progressed too far given heās yet to learn what it looks like at Moorabbin.ā Leek Aleer (GWS) āHeās a very bright young talent and in and out of a strong Giants backline.ā āThe phone has rung hot for him all year. Heās contracted until 2025 at the Giants. Iāve been told heās determined to see out at least next year. āBut 2025 is a big year for Aleer to make a decision and heās no certainly no guarantee to stay on.ā Matt Owies (Carlton) āI still think the more likely outcome is that he stays.ā John Noble (Collingwood) āThey only had a rough inkling of (his desire to get to the Gold Coast), Collingwood.ā āThere was an element of surprise internally at the Pies.ā

Pick 25 for McAdam
Yeh was a bad start for him, but need to back him in to lift in 2025. He's got some of the right tools, hopefully fit and firing at pre-season. That being said a little ominous with 10 AFL games over 2 years though.

Farewell Adam Tomlinson
I wasnt against him sticking around another year as depth but happy he can get a contract and a starting gig at another club. Been unlucky here at times, all the best fella

Delistings 2024
MELBOURNE has made two changes to its AFL list, informing Josh Schache and Kyah Farris-White they will not receive a contract for the 2025 season. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1640448/melbourne-farewell-duo-of-talls/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1gixR6P2Msis3OINh5HXOdV7bLfCR3ZeYlbH3mRPizY52z6Hzz6RfJgbI_aem_wYhaS_lz5igwdrLqXWZN1g

Laurie Extends for 2 More Years
Some of the decisions and execution towards the end of our transitional play Friday night was diabolical. Laurie definitely not alone there. It's not surprising we struggled on Friday given no Trac, Oliver, Sparrow, Spargo, Windsor (and Brayshaw), the depth players will struggle to cover that in the middle of the ground. Even if Laurie is not Best 22 in Season2025 i still think he's adequate depth. I don't think he'll get a consistent run of games with us and probably will be a depth player, which all clubs need.

DEMONLAND 2024 PLAYER OF THE YEAR
I haven't really been partaking in this but interesting to see Judd @ that position. SEN were predicting Top 3 B&Fs for each club and had this for the Dees Johnsonās Top 3 1 - Max Gawn 2 - Jack Viney 3 - Judd McVee Johnson: āI think Gawn is the number one, then you go to Viney. āThird is tough. Iāve put Judd McVee there, suggestions around Alex Neal-Bullen. āGawn and Viney sum up one and two potentially.ā Cornes: āGawn has six All-Australians and two best and fairests. His resume is building.ā

Kate Roffey
To be fair I dont think the comment re: costs was too deceitful. They email said; The club will now seek recovery of its legal costs from Mr Lawrence And thats what they'll be seeking whether by negotiation with Mr Lawrence or through Submissions to the Court.

Kate Roffey
To be fair, i don't think there's been that much cheerleading in this thread. There's a longstanding thread about training grounds where displeasure is often raised about the lack of action from the board. So there is criticism of the board on here, some may not delve too deep into the regulatory side of things - I'll read the judgment on this particular matter over the weekend to get a better understanding. Only defending i will do is I think Kate Roffey got some unnecessary criticism on here for not talking about Petracca -I don't think she really needs to comment about click bait journalists, she's clearly got more important and pressing tasks to deal with.

Kate Roffey
All litigation is energy sucking. Doing real President things, we dont need to hear from her about Christian Petracca.

THE GREATEST PLAYERS IN MELBOURNE DEMONS HISTORY
I asked ChatGPT for a list and it included this; Darren Jarman: Known for his explosive pace and goal-scoring ability, Jarman was a standout forward for Melbourne in the 1990s.

Greg Stafford departs Melbourne
Thanks for the service fella Curious how the forward line will go under a new line-coach, guess we'll find out one way or another where the issue is located

Port Adelaide Chasing Kozzy Again
To be fair, if Max was ever involved in a trade situation they could probably get away with a headline of Max Gawn?
