You know, I actually agree with you..

I more did it for Illustrative purposes..

as in, id love him at the club.. but id also want to keep the pick!

However, it'd be a tough decision if it was offered, no?

Who is Boyle? Who does he play for? Couldn't see his name in any of the teams this round. Would have to be good to be better than Bruce. Stupid trade that! It won't happen!

he plays hawthorn old bobby boy! keep up with the times!


yeah your right nudge

it would be a tough decision but i still think the club would be desperate to keep the low(ish) pick

i didnt realise lonergan has only played 13 senior games

how old is he?

i know he had that shocking injury etc etc

I'd trade pick 19 for prismall in a heart beat, he is young and a bloody good player, the games he played when he got into the geelong side were great and he is stiff not to be playing, I think he is better than kelly

imo if we trade or can get Warnock through PSD draft we must seriously look to trade Sylvia( rumoured to want to go home and reminds of TJ too much, has not given enough for no3 pick.) Bruce (was set to become a superstar in 05 i think before being tackled by a then Hawk Guerra. never got back , plays consistent footy and leads well but disposal is under a cloud and his age suggests last year to trade him. + he is a great sweetener) Rivers ( with the emergence of Warnock Garland, Frawley in the wings and the new found form of Wheatley a tough call needs to be made. not to delist but to be packaged up with Sylvia is clubs dont go for the Sylvia /Bruce combo. if you could get a 1st round plus another pick for Rivers ,Sylvia we must take it. no good to anyone playing four games a year) if we are to use our first pick on Watts if would be a massive coup to also pick up a midfielder in the first round. we must not loose track of the long term.

Prismall is high on our recruiting plan. Andy Lovell knows him from his days at Cats and is pretty keen on getting him. Even told Brent's father he is high on our target list at end of year.

Still don't understand why so many want to trade Bruce away. Every time a trade pops up invariably we are handing Bruce off. Given his position of leadership at the club I find it almost impossible that Melbourne will trade Bruce at the end of the year.


y look to trade Sylvia( rumoured to want to go home and reminds of TJ too much, has not given enough for no3 pick.)

what we are trading him to Bendigo are we ??? That story about him wanting to go to Adelaide is rubbish

how old is prismall??

as long as we dont give up draft picks for him, ill be happy

how old is prismall??

21 - 22

Boyle is not the answer! we need to draft a key forward. as simple as that!

the 2 main acqusitions at years end should be Warnock and Watts. fills 2 massive holes!!! pick 17 and 20 should also get a couple of quality youngsters which always helps.

i wouldn't be totally against trading pick 20 for Prismal, but people shuld realize, if he was that good then he would have a place in the geelong team. geelong do not have 22 superstars. guyz like Varcoe, Byrnes and others get regular games ahead of him.

2009:

Bartram, Warnock, Garland

Green, Rivers, Grimes

Moloney, Bruce, Morton

Sylvia, Bate, Davey

Robertson, Miller, Wonaeamirri

Warnock, Jones, Mclean

Int: Dunn, Bell, Pettard, Newton, P.Johnson, Wheatley, Frawley, Watts

emg: Buckley, C.Johnson, Valenti, Jamar, Whelan

up-n-coming: Maric, McNamara, Martin, Cheney, pick 17, pick 20, pick 36

delisted/retired: Neitz, McDonald, White, Yze, Holland, Carrol, Bode, Weetra


what we are trading him to Bendigo are we ??? That story about him wanting to go to Adelaide is rubbish

his profile says he is from S.A. .regardless he is not worthy of the no.3 selection used on him. time to go. Bruce can go because he is a deal sweetener when combined with Sylvia. look at big picture, in 2-3 years where will are kids be and where will Bruce be? if he secured a first round pick well so be it , Green is more inspirational and more of a leader to these young kids then Bruce. that is purely my opinion based on what ive seen this year. lets stock the shelves with kids

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
