It was reported on one of the radio stations this morning that we have asked Kreuzer in for a medical.

[Barra13]

From what I am reading, Kreuzer failed the medical for a couple of clubs, but Collingwood is heavily involved in him.

Apparently the failed medicals are completely untrue.

[Barra13]

Ah, well there you go. I read that there could also be a trade involving Witts and Kreuzer so it looks like Collingwood are all over him.

I wonder if we will get this coveted star midfielder that we've wanted to get for a few years now...

Very very unlikely  :(

Maybe when we show the potential to win a premiership, but until then...

[Barra13]

Unless it is Harley Bennell? On field, he is everything the Demons need in my eyes. Fast, can kick goals, can tear apart a game and has that X factor.

RUCKMAN Mark Jamar’s fine career with Melbourne has come to a close, after 155 AFL games from 2003-15.

Jamar, 32, addressed the players and coaches at AAMI Park on Thursday that his time with Melbourne after more than a decade had come to an end, after the club did not offer him a contract for 2016.

Not surprising.

Well done on a solid career Jamar. I always appreciated your loyalty.

You could say... he's GAWN! :P

I'd absolutely love him!

Our off-field is very stable... even then, do we really care about off-field issues, if it meant we were good on field?

I certainly wouldn't.

[Barra13]

Apparently Melbourne has pulled out of the race for Bennell. For what reason, I am not sure. Could be that GC are asking too much? Roos might not want the off-field antics at the club? Who knows.

There are also whispers that Melbourne are heavily into Hamish Hartlett. Could be an interesting addition.

Howe has stated that he has almost sealed a deal to extend his time at the club.

Very interesting points here.

I'm 50/50 about HH, but wouldn't say no to him I suppose. I wouldn't give our first rounder, unless we got theirs as well in something like our first + second for HH + first rounder.

A shame about Harley. But will trust Roos & co. We know how desperate they are to attract talent, so there must be a good reason.

Jeremy Howe... I've felt like he was gonna leave all year. All these reports surprise me... I guess I'm OK with him staying... am I? Nah yeah, I am... I think.



Oh yeah, WHAT IS THE BULL shower ABOUT JAKE MELKSHAM?!

Talent, Roos! You said flowering talent!

What the flower!

[Ricochet]

I reckon Melksham could add to Melb what Monfries added to Port in his first year

[Barra13]

Personally I wouldn't want Melksham at the club. I believe Essendon want a second and first round pick for him. Definitely not worth it.
