Hey Guys & Girls,

Been a long time since I have posted.

Just wondering if anyone has heard if the MFC might be lucky enough to grab a star in the PSD.

Rob Warnock's name has been thrown around and I agree it would be good to add him but we have all the bargaining chips there and we might be able to do a deal for a 5th round pick, so Freo gets something for him.

What about players like David Mundy (Freo) and Stephen Salopek (Port), Vic boys, would they be looking at coming home?

Keep up the good work on the site, I will try to post more regularly.

The PSD will certainly be exciting should any stars slip through Trade Week.

Best example is Port refusing to allow Nick Stevens join Collingwood.

Hawthorn and Richmond are reportedly keen on Mundy, while Carlton are super keen on Warnock. Not quite sure that Melbourne will be able to lure either if they are entertaining offers from better teams.

Staker and McKinley from the Eagles are both out of contract (hmm, is Staker a Vic though? maybe NSW??). Ryan Murphy and Scott Thornton (a CC favourite) are also out of contract but I think will most likely stay on a 1 year deal.

Keep in mind that players have to agree to any trade they're involved in, and that they're out of contract. If Warnock wants to become a Demon then he'll become one, regardless of what Freo or any Victorian club come up with. It's all up to him now.

Obviously, but if Warnock is being offered similar opportunities both playing wise and financially to go to Carlton, he'd be silly not to look at it. He could be tapping the ball down to one of the most talented midfields in the league. Without being derogatory, unless he has a desperate desire to play with his brother, there's not a whole lot that's enticing about playing for Melbourne when you've got multiple offers in front of you.

Would Carlton have the room in their salary cap to throw big money around?

All based on rumours so far, but its pretty clear that Carlton are on the hunt for an out of contract player, so you would think that they would have enough money to spare. Couldn't be much more than we would offer though.

You would think that Robbie would want to be number 1 ruckman, he is sure to get that for a long time at the demons.

Still think we will get him easily.

You have to ask yourself why Warnock wants to leave Fremantle, if indeed he does. The two major reasons I could see would be to come home to Melbourne (the city), and to play as a club's number one ruckman, something he won't ever get at Fremantle. Don't underestimate that last one, we've had Simmonds and Jolly leave for that exact reason. That pretty much strikes Carlton off the list right there. In addition, he'll legally be able to get more money at Melbourne (Carlton would be paying $2M a season for Fev and Judd), and there will never be a better opportunity for him to play with his brother. If he wants to do that, now is the time, otherwise it'll never happen. I'm not saying he won't end up at Carlton, but if he does, the AFL should shut that corrupt entity down once and for all. There can be no doubt that something very suspect has happened if he ends up there.

I reckon he'll come us- hopefully

McKinley should be one we target as we seriusly neeeeeeed a forward line.

McKinley will stay at West Coast. They won't want to trade him.

Staker- NSW (Broken Hill)

Pick 19 for David Mundy.

Any takers?

Definitely not Pick 19. Would not be worthy of that Pick. If he is, then Green is worth a Top 10 pick.

Ask yourself, why would Freo trade him? Because Harv's believes he is no good for the future of Freo. Why should we think otherwise?

Because he's out of contract and wants to return to Victoria.

Still it does not mean he can cut the mustard, of waht I've seen of him I'm not impressed...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
