We chose Kolt ahead of Darcy Wilson. Too early to call but the Kolt has been very disappointing tonight.

GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs West Coast
1st half summary ๐คฎ๐คก๐คฎ๐คก๐คฎ๐คก๐คฎ๐คก Horrible game dees drinking their own bath water dees had chances but inaccurate goalkicking Eagles got a sniff and took their chances Dees inside50s 29 โฆ 3 goals Spargo is one of the worst players to wear red and blue. You simply cannot defend him. Delist him and see that no other AFL club would be interested Simply must respond Simply must win !!

NON-MFC: Round 08
Bulldogs run and run and skills are something Dees need to get to. Guys like Dale, Williams, Richards and Treloar are mid sized players with great skills

CASEY: Rd 07 vs Footscray
Assume scratch match is a short 4 x15 minute quarters. No limit on interchange. Has to be played between two like minded clubs being ripped by the AFL at every opportunity.

Media Madness
https://t.co/Fg9Ot8kDRW Adding Niall to the list of gutter scrapping journalists. We know the story. Letโs get Clarry the support he needs. Heโs a champion. He helped us win a premiership. Letโs support him through tough times. This article doesnโt help. Itโs another โarenโt the Cats wonderful โ story. Ffs.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
So he can talk to the eagles about how theyโd love to get him back to WA ?!?!?!

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
99.5% of Dees supporters, members and fanatics had JVR as back in. Kicked 5 goals, led up strongly, back home in WA, ruck relief if needed. But MFC selectors go with a 33yr old in his last year of footy with no form and coming back from injury. I love milkshake but itโs not the right call imv. McGovern will intercept everything Have to trust the โ inside the four wallsโ decision but seemingly itโs a very strange call @binman @george_on_the_outer can you explain it to me

Tom McDonald re-signs for 2025
Tom will play Game 240 v eagles this weekend. He should reach 250 games by later this season. He was gone by end of 2023 but has been rejuvenated as a key defender role once again. His form in 2025 has been excellent.

Obvious move. Dees fans were calling for this by round 3โฆ Goody was 3 weeks too late!!

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Danger game Danger game Called it last year Danger game Eagles will definitely fancy their chances Reid will Play on ball Eagles had big media focus this week out west Dees are perhaps doing some drinking of their bath water after 2 wins Eagles have been pathetic but nearly beat the Bombers only 2 weeks ago This is a MUST WIN game or we will be an embarrassment!!!

Trade Targets
(Hold your fire) Iโm not seeing MFC attracting any of the free agent players or having much draft capital to entice a key player trade So look for bargains in young players who are being overlooked at their clubs (not bringing in 28,29,30+ aged players) Jaxon Binns. Running midfielder. Drafted pick 32 in 2022 draft. Now in 3rd year. Had 3 games in 2024. Getting constantly overlooked by Blues (behind Cerra,Acres, Hollands & Cottrell). Why I think heโs gettable and adds something? He has good pace. Wins the footy. Very good skills. Dominates VFL. Fits the modern running and transition game. I think heโs out of contract at end of 2025. Dees should offer him a deal and offer Blues peanuts. They ignore him. Just one player to think about.

Spargo, Sharp or Culley???????
@Demon Dynasty โSpargs you know what you get. Moments of brilliance and solid fierce tackling inside 50โ. Ummm. I cannot see that. He gives us missed tackles. Missed shots from 25 metre out. Kicks that barely 30 metres. You get zero goals. Zero crumbing. Compared to other small FORWARDS, he delivers very little. Ok pressure acts, but thatโs correling more than tackling. Maybe a goal assist or if we are lucky two effective tackles. He had to do more. Much more. Every week he is barely satisfactory. When he has a good game, itโs actually just satisfactory. Iโm looking at years end to bring in another small forward to partner Chandler. A goalkicking small forward. Just my view.

The Logan Morris Thread
Thanks @dazzledavey36 I remember calling out Morris during the 2023 year as a potential draftee. Reminded me in 2023 under18s as a Larkey style player in his natural forward craft , good mark and his kicking reliability. Some questioned his 191cm height. I thought heโd be a 2nd or 3rd forward which has proven to be.

PODCAST: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Listened to the podcast last night. โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Informative. Entertaining. Engaging. Confusing. Range of thoughts. Loved the positive talk. Bowsa ๐๐ Maxy ๐๐Langdon ๐๐Chin ๐๐Sparrow ๐๐ keep it up Agree Fullarton and Fritta were actually very very disappointing. Yes the Umps were pathetic for both teams. Have to clarify though Dees cannot afford to rest Gawn for 3-4 games. They canโt afford to rest him for 8 minutes if the last quarter was any indication. Yes I agree he getting physically hit each week, but heโs a warrior. Max didnโt want to rest and itching to get back on. Certainly not to rest him this week. Tom Campbell had just got back from injury and played 3/4 qtrs for Casey. Was good but is break glass in case of emergency player imv. Hopper had 23 possessions (not 4!) for Tigers and was in their best 5-6 players. He went head to head with Clarry. He didnโt tag Clarry. Clarry had a poor 1st half (very poor) but like a champion, responded with a dynamic 3rd qtr. Clarry has work to do but showed glimpses of his best. Amiss doesnโt play for Tigers. Why was he mentioned? Strange. Like the proposed changes โฆ in- Turner JVR & AJ outs-Fullarton, Sharp and weโll agree Fritta (Kolt as the sub) Zero tackles. Guards grass. Burned Spargo!! But honestly do we think Goody will drop Fritsch. Two opportunitist goals. Probably keeps his spot unless we say Managed (fatherhood duties ). @binman love the stats especially the pressure stats but seemed like overall it was too too much. Maybe more game talk and keep stats to 10 minutes max (certainly no more chat-GPT talk on loading!!) Last thought - new segment โฆ WHAT I LOVED โฆ letโs go through the positives because in the last fortnight, there has been plenty for the MFC GO DEES

Xavier Lindsay- Round 7 Rising Star
XL20 ๐๐๐well deserved. Has the skill and poise that the Dees needed. I called him out early as a MFC potential 2024 draftee and so pleased that he landed at the Dees. He is outside player for now as an 18yo rookie player. But we will see him develop after 3-4 years to be inside/outside type who can win the footy, run and distribute. Mature kid with leadership potential. One to enjoy in the red and blue for many more years.

Melbourne Football Club - The CEO
Was Cameron Schwab a diehard Dees supporter ? I always thought he was too corporate to align himself to a club. Whiteboard Wednesday!! (aka the BS report) Salary cap breaches and Dees penalties!!! The Neeld appointment!!! Player upheaval!! MFC to Casey relocation!!! Just a few disasters during his tenure!!!
