At least this doesn’t mention pick 24 going back the other way. Too good a pick to give to GC for points.

Exactly. Them needing points for their nepo baby acadamy pics shouldn't be at our expense. If we have to to facilitate the trade then they can give us back equal points from their 2026 draft. It's Tracc for 6 & 7 if not BH. If not walk away. They don't dictate this.

it would've been hard not to giggle, or express utter shock when North put that to the Pies recruitment team.. so glad we didn't got for Simpkin.. he's a nothing player. apart from being the captain of North, what else does he do?

Probably a good time to start sussing out draft prospects sadly…

If the Suns need points THIS year if they give up 7 and 8, then we should be offering our 2nd rounders, but only if are getting back their future 1sts.

I don't agree. He had no clue about the meeting around the tan, or the meeting today. I've been on here for over 20 years and I know a credible source when I see one and Demon Forever is credible. I suspect all he's been told is that talks are ongoing and that GC are amenable to offering picks 7 and 8. And in his mind, that's a likely trade. For me, he's getting his info from the Suns, not the MFC.

I’m going to have to rearrange how Wednesday looks work wise.

Avg. games experience of teams as selected: Melb: 45.0 Freo: 44.3 2025 Top 5 tacklers (total): Melb: Fitzsimon 66, Heath 51, Hanks 46, Hore 46, McNamara 43, Chaplin 37 Freo: Bowers 95, Newton 54, M.Strom 49, McCarthy 42, Kauffman 32 2025 Tackles i50 avg. Melb: 18.6 (1st) Freo: 14.4 (3rd) 🌈 And a happy Pride Round to all! 🌈

Love or hate Tom Morris he gets very good mail and is often close to the mark. If his latest tweet is on the money then we can kiss the dream of Bailey goodbye. Tweet also confirms that GC need one of 7 or 8 for their points and need to go hunting for more picks. As expected we’ll get hosed in this deal. Members should be furious.

Well, we were all wrong! Fresh legs. FREMANTLE In: S.Verrier, A.Tighe Out: G.O'Sullivan (foot), H.Ifould (omitted) MELBOURNE In: J.Rigoni, D.Taylor, G.Campbell Out: S.Heath (finger), A.Pisano (omitted), M.Mahony (managed)

If @demonforever didn’t want to be lured back with a bunch of off season tags 12 years later then maybe ‘forever’ was the wrong choice

You seem to be the one melting over peoples thoughts and feelings, A.

I hoping Toad Morris does not have the same links within the club he once had.

I think a lot will definitely play out over the weekend. Could hear more come Monday. If not, the two early picks is still a good gain.

If this doesn’t work out and Trac goes for picks, I can’t decide whether I’ll feel bad for the new MFC regime or if I’ll be annoyed with them. I get that our plummeting membership numbers these last two years make it financially unviable to come out and say we’re doing a rebuild and that finals aren’t feasible. But coming out and fully saying that finals are the expectation only to then turn around and ship out two of our most significant players for (potentially) only picks is…not great.

There’s definitely something there with JVR. He took a first half of footy by storm (4 goals) last year against a defence lead by McGovern and Barrass and you don’t get a much better defensive duo than those two at the time. I don’t know how the club can get the best out of him on a consistent basis.

The less I hear about a BH's trade in the media, the better I feel about it happening. (Although I have had a couple of alcoholic beverages this evening - so feeling mellow and positive)

A warchest like Norf's or the Saints? We're a minnow club and we're not going to attract A graders in future, no matter the warchest. The one opportunity we have to do that is this year with Humphrey for Petracca, rewrite the narrative and at least become a piranha.

Good man...it wasn't that hard after all.

I agree there are great kids in there. I just think we need another senior player in there.

And then we’ll probably try trade picks 7&8 for west coast pick 2 and 13

Heater was there. She didn’t train with the main group but she participated in drills that don’t include hands. She’s in great spirits and was encouraging the others, especially the other rehabbers. Forgot to mention Dingo (DT18) who trained really well. It will be great to see her back out there on Sunday.

X GOODWIN, Williams, Radford, Bassett ✅KING, Rivers, Scarlett, Atkins Promoted: Whitford ? Hawkins, ? Hamill Staying: Jones, Chaplin Casey coach : Rhett McLennan Casey Demons, assts coaches - Riley Bonner and Dylan Roberton

Thanks Trac. I mean Tom 🙄🙄🙄 I wish Trac and Humphrey both had serious managers and not some Temu branded agents

Is it too much to hope for that it is not a Lamb shank? 😁
