hi guys another player that wants to leave

brent staker has asked west coast to trade him because of lack of opportunity

he is a melbourne country kid, john worsfold said we will trade him if a club shows they are keen n wants to talk

did show some promising signs

do you think we as a club should go after him or not; is 25

:)

    Given that he's contracted for 2010, West Coast would have to give us Staker and pick 55 for our pick 98 for us to even entertain the thought. Even then, I wouldn't clog the list with a struggler who is neither a key position forward or useful crumber.

    No thanks, not the sort of player we need

    With all these players putting hands up...can some now still take the stand that Melbourne wont be involved in any trading. ?

    All these players are going to casue knock ons and someone is bound to be offered or sought to/from Melbourne.

    Staker ? he's a more than handy player but not a fit into our side..Ironically he might do well with the Swannies...but could he put on their jumper ?? :lol:

    If its' only Staker and Raines then we won't be involved in trading. Staker is just another Miller and Raines is a 1 year wonder with nothing going for him.

    More than handy? He's rubbish. I could not be less enthused.

    If Staker is the standard of whats around among the NQRs then MFC should keep its gun locked away in its holster.

    no. we've got enough hacks that try and play ruck. get a decent one. but don't trade away picks for it. maybe a swap for daniel bell though. thinking on my feet here. yeahs thats fair. a dud for a dud.but only if he's on less than bell

    Hold on..

    Showed some good form late in year, and is a good type to have. Would take him for a 5th rounder!

    Ben Mckinley is the eagle we have shown interest in though, as have 2 or 3 other VIC clubs, him id take for a 3rd rounder MAYBE 4th..

    If he is a 5th rounder in a bottom ranked club then he must be worth having then. :rolleyes:

    Sarcasm becomes you.

    If some get there way on here we will become the rubbish dump of the AFL.

    Agree.

    Comments like "worth a punt". "Good for depth" "Good type to have" make me cringe. For some, list management and trading has not evolved much from the blindfold and a pin with a tail on it.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
