Dees in 2026

Dees list management

Heard on good source that For over a year, Dees say yes yes yes Last week, Dees now say no no no We are a joke !!! Who would want to join this circus anyway.

He knows we are screwed !!

It’s a mess King has come in and delivered his message

❌more leaks. Leaks. Leaks. Leaks. Has Tom Morris got our offices bugged ❌blow the place up … we took nearly 7 years for Roos and Jackson and JT to build the list. Now we are self destruct mode and ❌in a low quality draft, the Dees are pushing to off load players and potentially get picks where they get pushed back ❓❓salary cap issues ❓❓wtf we have cleared the decks and added zero players in the last 3 years of any SC substance ❓❓memories here of clearing the decks and pushing out popular players like James McDonald. It took us years to recover and be competitive. ❌our membership numbers are in the toilet and going backwards as others push up !!?! wtf this won’t help ❌Tim Lamb has failed across 3 x years of trading. Only saved by JT drafting ❌remember Mark Neeld. Talked tough. Was the “best assistant going around”. We will break eggs he said too. And he lasted 18 months. ❌without Trac and Clarry, we will be bottom 3 next year. Only Tigers and Eagles to battle with Ok I’m frustrated and angry and gutted by our fuccccj ups!!!

@Mt. Dee-Maaan agree. It toooo early!

Tim Lamb and Alan Richardson.

Potential trade deals so far are way unders!!! We need a very good player PLUS a round 1 draft pick, which is under pick 14. Petracca has 4 more years under contract. 2nd in MFC 2025 best and fairest, polled 16 votes in this years Brownlow, he’s a 4-time All-Australian, 2xMFC best and fairest, a premiership player and won Norm Smith Medal.

Crows say : We don't want to give you any senior players, but we want Petracca. Dees: Petrecca has 4 more years under contract. Petracca was second in the 2025 best and fairest, polled 16 votes in this years Brownlow, he’s a four-time All-Australian, twice MFC best and fairest, and a Norm Smith Medal winner. Yes he is a premiership player. Crows : You can have Pedlar, who doesn't play, and pick 14 - that's fair. Dees: that’s a joke … you’re joking right!!!

Unfortunately live pick 6 may be too late to get Robey (given the Academy and father son picks) Say that MFC got 6 and Flanders for a trade deal with Suns to get Petracca and 23. Robey. Lindsay. Grlj. They would be the targets. Skilled players. That’s the need!!

Tim Lamb. Time to stand up. Crows want Petracca …

@tim lamb. Ok well spoken. Agree disappointing to have McVee bail out. Seems like to most likely deals are Mihocek from the Pies as a free agent Heath from the Saints for say a 3rd round pick (might depend on whether Marshall leaves the Saints) 24, 53, 59 Likely Freo 29 to Dees for McVee Likely Dees trade 29 to Saints for Heath & 43 Dees take 24 (32) & 43 (57) to the draft

Paul Guerra MELBOURNE CEO Paul Guerra says the club was "surprised" when star Christian Petracca officially informed them of his desire to play elsewhere in 2026. Guerra said the Demons would hold Petracca to his monster contract if they weren't offered a deal good enough to 'turn their head'. "We were surprised to say the least, but it is what it is," Guerra said. In an ideal world Christian stays with us, but ultimately it's his call to explore other options. He believes he needs a fresh start so our view is let's see what comes back from that. "He has a four-year contract with the football club so if we don't get a deal that satisfies us, Christian will be playing as a Melbourne footballer next year Ultimately, it's up to Christian and his team now to come forward with a deal that will satisfy us. "We know what we've got and that's a quality footballer that has a four-year contract. For Christian to leave the football club, it has to be a deal that turns our head. "He's a generational player for our club, premiership player, Norm Smith Medallist, second in our best and fairest this year, so it's going to have to be something pretty good. "We'll do the right thing by the football club and if Christian comes back next year, great. If we've got a suitable trade that we've done, that's also great."

Billings or Freijah is the question. We went with a player who couldn’t get a game in a lowly club and didn’t give ourselves the chance for a pick 45 gold !!

Really worried about the Kolt. Will he become the Cam Rayner type player with aggression, goalkicking, forward pressure and skill to have the impact as a medium forward and a rotating mid … Or Will he seek a trade home to WA and again leave the Dees faithful gasping at our frustration with holding onto interstate recruits Or Both !!!

Melbourne wins a flag and proceeds to lose one required player after another. Brisbane wins back to back flags and then tops up with ready to play recruits.

Chris Scott. Sore loser. Sour grapes. He’s an arrogant piece of 💩💩💩. Let’s himself down with his sheer hubris. Good coach … yes. Sore loser … yes indeed !!!

Squad for 2026! (21) Gawn. Oliver. Viney. Kozzzy. Rivers. Turner. Langdon. Salem. Bowey. Langford. Lindsay. Fritsch. Petty. Windsor. Chandler. Kolt. Sparrow. Lever. JVR. Howes. Sharp. The Veterans. (5) Melksham Tmcd May McAdam Campbell On the edge. (10) Laurie Woey jnr Jeffo Adams Johnson rookies: Kentfield Culley AMW Mentha Henderson 💔McVee. Reported to want out and go “home” to Freo. Home is actually Geraldton, only 400kms away from Freo 💔💔💔💔💔Petracca reportedly interested in a move to the Crows. He has another 4 years on his contract. The trade period and the drafting period is again a crucial time !! Lots to play out. We have climbed the mountain in 2021, and now seen it disintegrate in a matter of 4 years. It’s not too late unless we get our pants pulled down again.

@manny100 too late now … the sins of the past 4 years !! The Silence of the “Lambs”.

DELISTINGS Billings ❌ Fullerton ❌ Sestan ❌ (R) Verrall ❌ (R) Hore❌(R) KBrown💔❌(R) Spargo⭕️UFA to North Melbourne 7 off the list - Spargo, KBrown, Fullerton, Hore, Verrall, Billings, Sestan 2 on the list - SSP top ups Henderson and Culley have earned one year deals so get added ❓❓Taj Woewodin/ Woey junior - does he seek to get traded to either Freo or Eagles ❓❓Steven May - He didn’t have a great year but when fit, he was still a mountain in defence Contracted 2026 McAdam⭕️sure he has mercurial talent but can’t believe he was 29 yo and injury prone and he got 3 years (Tim Lamb: was there a trigger clause even thought about? ) Maybe he gets to see out his final year. Have to somehow hope 🤞he can stay on the park or I think he’ll have to retire early. Laurie⭕️ elite at VFL Level. Just wish he’d got more chances at AFL game and shown something. He has been on our list 5 years now. Might just seek opportunity elsewhere. Contracted. The “1-year club” The Veterans. (5) Melksham Tmcd May McAdam Campbell On the edge. (10) Laurie Woey jnr Jeffo Adams Johnson rookies: Kentfield Culley AMW Mentha Henderson That’s a lot of unproven players and the veterans in their twilight. Conceivably all 15 could be gone at end 2026. 💔McVee. Reported to want out and go “home” to Freo. Home is actually Geraldton, only 400kms away from Freo melbournefc.com.auTrac to stay a Demon for lifeChristian Petracca has agreed to a seven-year contract extension with the club💔💔💔💔💔Petracca reportedly interested in a move to the Crows. He has another 4 years on his contract. Monday 29 September Day 1. Steven King has some big calls to make.

One bright crows butterball says : Crows Pick 14 & pick 41 to North Melbourne for pick 20 and 21. Crows Pick 21 to Brisbane for Calum Ah Chee Crows Jordan Butts and Pick 20 to the Western Bulldogs for pick 10 Dogs Pick 10 to the Dees for Petracca Farrrrrk off … one single pick … pick “16” after compo and academy /father son picks. Is that a joke ?!?! 🤮🤮
