Jack Viney Extends Contract Until 2028
He said heโd be interested in signing any mature player like Jack Viney. Luke Parker also mentioned. Clarkson (Thursday) said itโs poor to even name players as the off season circus starts and to do so is very very bad taste. Clarkson on Friday stated some players names heโd be interested in !!! The guy is bi polar !!!

Club in crisis - Media pile on - August 2024
Add Sam Edmund ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ Port Adelaide has renewed its interest in Melbourne forward Kysaiah Pickett. Pickett signed a new 4yr deal only last year, but the Power continue to reach out as the Dees battle their latest bout of player turbulence. Understand Adelaide & Freo have also asked the question. No suggestion at this stage that Pickett is considering leaving, just that the interest has again been made clear. @1116sen

Club in crisis - Media pile on - August 2024
Lots of headlines and negative media. Club in crisis. Toxic culture. Players want to leave. No communication. Poor leadership. Staggered they donโt talk to each other. The truth is that he wants to go. What I don't know, is whether that will lead to a trade request." @tommorris32 gives an update on Christian Petracca and the situation at Melbourne.

Jack Viney Extends Contract Until 2028
Alastair Clarkson made headlines last week by declaring his intent to poach Jack Viney from the Demons. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ- Buckley Morris Cornesy And other trolls say Viney is leaving and set to consider 4 year deal from Kangas โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ @RalphyHeraldSun reports Viney is set to spurn interest from North Melbourne and re-sign in red and blue. ๐๐๐

CASEY: Rd 21 vs Gold Coast Suns
Suns virtually a full list so very difficult to beat them on the GC Lukosius definitely did his best to earn a trade to the Crows. If the deal canโt be done, Dees should see if heโs interested in wearing red and blue in the future. Casey essentially had a team of players not at AFL standard, kids developing and suburban footballers. Too many injuries and others not available Really of the non AFL listed group on Steele and White are at the standard required. We really missed Hustwaite and Connolly who only probably played 2-3 games before getting season ending injuries

2023 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Joel Freijah having an excellent year at the dogs. Pick 45 last year !! 29 possessions v Kangas in his 11th game. Was tipped to be top 15 at start of 2023 however somehow dropped after a solid 2023. Was strange that he was overlooked all the way until picked at 45. Recruiters must have lost his draft notes ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค

2024 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Young Bendigo star Tobie Travaglia had a great game on the weekend in the VFL (for Carlton v Richmond). Definitely now a top 10 pick in my view. He had over 20 possessions across half back and wing. Looked very comfortable and his kicking in particular was A grade. Got good distance with his kicking. But itโs his 2nd efforts and tackling that was perhaps most impressive (he was working hard even without the footy) .

Premiership Hero Ben Brown Retires
No. Nice way to finish with 6 goals. Ben Brown. Premiership player 2021 ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐

Dan Houston
Yes MFC should come out and say this behaviour doesnโt sit well with โour cultureโ ๐
-
James Peatling
Yes hard to see Peatling leave. Giants might lose Cumming and Perryman so theyโll use the extra $ to go to Peatling. Hes shown heโs a quality player and he will get the deserved contract and $$$. If we could get him, he would be a very good addition. But alas I think not.

Trade Targets
For Neal-Bullen. ๐ญ Crows. Swap for crows 2nd round pick 25/26 - thatโs light on and we get ripped off Swap for Zac Taylor - is he a midfielder or small forward - maybe Crows add in their 3rd round pick (pick 45-46) โฆ maybe too light Swap for Jake Soligo - would be a massive steal for the Dees ๐ but they wonโt let him go. Maybe we throw in Adam Tomlinson and pick swaps. Power Swap for their 1st round pick - pick 15/16. Thatโs fair!! We could throw in the Swans 2nd round pick to go back (around pick 38). Swap for Dan Houston ๐คฃ We could throw in Swans 2nd round pick.

Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen
Absolutely gives 100%. He was very good v Suns yesterday. Very good. Sung the Dees song with real feeling. Heโs had a very good year. Heโs a very good player. Sad to see him go. And heโs a very good club man and individual off field. 177 games with the Dees. 10 years. Life membership. ๐๐๐๐๐๐

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
Jeffo is not ready yet. Still in development. Heโs a nice young man but needs to be more physically aggressive in a contest. Jeffo needs a huge pre season in the gym and on the park. Heโs 50/50 right now. As a first round pick, he was a big investmentโฆ not just a punt. We will a little more patient.
