    Another very ordinary draft week for the MFC...i am so dissapointed in the club. I realise we wanted to keep our high drat picks but surely there was something out there that could have helped improve the MFC

    That cant be it..

    When you see players like Ryce Shaw and Ray getting traded, im sure we could give people more decent players than that.

    I think our negotiating skills must be horrible and we must be expecting too much for players who were part of a 16th placed team.

    l just think that no-one wants to come to us, we have this reputation mainly spun by the media that we are going to be no good for the next 10 frickin' years, f%#k the lot of them, we will be back on track with our own young blokes in about 2-3 years

    The problem we have is that the MFC dont have enough $$$ to hire compotent people to work on things like trade week, i think you will find that CC is doing the job of three people.

    Judging by the Rhys Shaw and Anthony Corrie deals, i'd say there weren't any deals that WE were happy with.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    I'd be a lot more [censored] off if we traded a bunch of players for inadequate compensation.

    THAT would be an indication we have poor negotiating skills

    i'd rather we rebuild the club from the draft and in-house

    You're saying Melbourne knowingly hired incompetent people? Interesting.

    Amazing that we couldnt even unload Daniel Bell for a pick in the 70's.

    i agree with that YM

    i am so glad we kept CJ and i want you guys to remember this and if im wrong i will wear the abuse...

    if he stays injury free he will prove to be a super player and will come in the top5 in the B & F next year!!!

  • Quote

    I wouldn't worry too much. I really don't think there was much to trade for. We have our picks and PSD in place. Brent Prismall has a bung Knee, Okeefe a highly inflated price. We Didn't lose Green, & nobody knows how good or bad Warnock is. Definately not worth 400 k. Carlton may regret that one. So all in all i think MFC was quite wise. Remember if there is no interest in Bell or Carroll that's that. MFC can't give them away. Think toward the Future-we will improve.

    On the flip side, it can mean we have a poor list of ordinary senior players that no one wants (and we're not willing to trade away our youngsters).

    It's not like we were the only Club to fail to find a suitable deal - North were shopping around a few players and didn't get any takers.

    CJ is out of contract.

    Could walk into the PSD on the way to WC or Freo.

    Correct. Six ordinary trades across 16 clubs.

    That does not make him a super player.

    And your comment on MFC staff shows how uninformed you really are.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
