Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

Just announced on SEN, Dean Laidley has said if the right deal can be struck, Hamish McIntosh could be traded.

Also, Brent Prismall has requested to be traded from Geelong.

edit: Hamish McIntosh's manager has said that Hamish is staying put. Go figure...

but I have this awful feeling the demons will overdo it at the trade table and come out second best in a deal or two.

Is that because Chris from Freo is now a Demon again. I think he's reformed (Chris Tarrant will do that to people)

Another star graduate from the Class of 2003!.

If Carlton are seeking to build for a challenge for a flag in the next couple of years, why would they be trading a 23yo with 5 years experience who was their PP (No 2 pick) in 2003? Because he is..... :unsure:

Aside from Cooney, the 2003 draft is the most underwhelming basket of talent in years. I hope this year's crop is better than that and MFC draft some stars...or at least one!

Thank you Rhino.

Walker is S H one T. Had a dynamite debut and hasn't done anything since.

This is one of those ones where I just can't seem to see why everyone gets so excited.

Picks 1, 17 and 19 are off the table unless we get an upgrade for them... And Carlton would want one of those picks in a straight swap.

Only a big, multi-club deal would make it work. For mine....

I'm all for us being aggressive, but I have this awful feeling the demons will overdo it at the trade table and come out second best in a deal or two.

Couldn't agree more

It's widely agreed that Melbourne will (hopefully) trade to get an extra first rounmd pick. Why would you then trade one away?

I would be extremely uncomfortable trading any picks under 20.

I reckon there will still be very good players available at 17 and 19.

If the Tarrant trade hasn't scared clubs off deals for first round picks then I don't know what will...

We don't have players that get great press, and other clubs do... How they convinced Freo he was worth that much is something that still boggles my mind, especially given Freo's WOEFUL track record in trading, you'd think they'd be careful with it!

If you're EVER going to take someone's trash and make it your treasure, you don't do it with first round picks... unless you're desperate to have a tilt at a flag, and you're sure that the player is leaving, not getting traded against his will (a la Judd).

Lets try and hold out on Prismall and nab him in the PSD.

I concur. As other posters have mooted, it'd probably cost us 17 or 19, and I'm with Dappa and More Juice in wanting to hold onto those, unless the opportunity to upgrade them comes along.

Ultimately we're talking about a tough, reasonably-talented midfielder, but one who likely won't get on the park next year, and that needs to be considered.

F*cking spot on bevan (chopper read anyone?)

those two COULD easily get a first round draft pick by themselves. they probably won't. but green and bell could get 4. if tarrant was traded for 8 and medhurst...then surely bell and green , and maybe 35 would surely get 4 IF PORT WANTED IT.

won't happen, greens 28yo and bell is no good

exactly

but some people on here have said green isn't worth a top 20 draft pick by himself!!!

so i'd take a top 20 pick if we had to get rid of 35. we'd then have 1,16,17,19- preferably a lower pick than 16 would help us. and trading guys like bell for top 40 pick

Green's value would be an early 2nd rnder.

I agree with you value assessment but I don't think for a second we could ever get that......

Because unfortunately BB there is a big difference between what we may think he is worth and what we can actually get.

What we might get if it gets that far is an early second round pick or some kind of jumbled multi-player trade.

In which case the jury will be out on whether the MFC actually improved its position at all, and that should be the only point for trading.

Why does anyone think that Prismal will go into the PSD? I think unless someone can broker a decent trade with Geelong he'll just sign their 2 year

Pick 20 is an early second-round pick.

Spoke to Peter today about todays proceedings about 4. He had been in contact with someone from the club about 3.

He was not as fourthcoming about information but said the only player we're pursuing is Adam Thomson. Who's available for a 3rd rounder, a bargain really. Seaby was originally a target but WCE want an early Second Rounder for him. Not happening.

Green is on the market but dont rule out him signing a new contract. CJ is still of some interest to St.Kilda and Melbourne have announced their intention to keep Jamar.

Boring really.

Geez Rogue can you stop running around and "correcting me" ;):P !!!

I know 20 is an early second round pick, but I think that pound for pound he is worth a first.

That being said I don't think we will get either, which is all that counts really.

great so now we keeping jamar! thats just [censored] great!

great job MFC! :angry:

Unless we have another ruck option, I cant see why we would be trading him. Clearly its not certain there was a definitive offer made by another Club. Get some facts.

I thought Jamar's efforts were reasonable when he was the main ruckman in White's absence. He is certainly no star though.

If we are not trading for another ruckman he should be kept as we would only have fill ins like PJ and Martin, with Meeson and Spencer to come. Not a great group of ruckmen. Spencer may make it in time, but Meeson probably won't.

We will obviously look at another ruckman in the expanded Rookie draft.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
