Probley loves the pingers? If the bombers don't want him then either do we. I would rather SB.

Why not try and get both ... ;)

Davey, Jurah, Jetta, Bennell, Wona ... then add Burgoyne & Lovett ... perfect to play on the nice wide open spaces at the MCG.

Dont know if we could play them all in the one side ... but hey what a beautiful luxury to have.

Lovett played 21 games for the Bombers ... cant believe he is not in there best 22!!!

Drop off late in year ... IMHO has seen the writing on the wall.

Definitely worth talking toooooo ... definitely. However, again depends on the "price".

Lovett can be very hot and cold. Id rather his presence on the market precipitate the availability of another player rather than taking him.

He is the same sort of player as SB and if he is as good as people are saying we don't need Lovett as well IMO. He has improved steadily each year but for every player we bring in for example Lovett and SB thats 2 more of our younger players who will miss out, who do you take out for these two?

IMHO its all about outside pace & hence pressure for 100 minutes ... I loved Daveys role last year but you cant expect him to do it for 100 minutes 22 games in the year.

SB & Davey rotate around the ball ... running behind the marker getting that quick handle ball & hitting targets. Both more than capable of the role.

Leaving Moloney, McLean, Bruce, Sylvia plus maybe a Jones & MacDonald to do the inside heavy work.

Then you move to our forward line that contains a combination of Jurah, Wona, Lovett & not to forget Watts .. opposition back-lines would struggle to get a seconds peace.

Our all around the ground pace could simply run teams of their legs especially at the MCG.

IMHO its all about the modern game of rotations

 

Don't want him. More trouble than he's worth and he's too old.

Maybe if he was of Burgoyne's calibre... but he's not, so its a moot point.

So would Lovett take Petterd's spot in the team? Lets not forget about Scully and Trengove....I just don't think Lovett is worth taking a youngsters spot. IMO he won't be coming to Melbourne anyway.

Lovett... <...> Burgoyne.... plus details... becomes a workable swap for Essendond and Port. all of a sudden looks quite likely.

fine by me...rather not have either

The problem is that Lovett is a fruit cake. He slides atomatically because of his attitude. To get the sack from Essendon when he had a pretty good year tells me that he will be a handful to deal with. If anyone will slip through to the PSD I'm betting it will be Lovett his bad reputation makes it very risky for a club to take a punt on him.

Lovett is easily in Essendon best 22.

The reason he is being traded has very little to do with his on field performances.

Reckon he'll go to Port (with pick 10) for Burgoyne.

Agree, i'd be surprised if MFC get Lovett or Burgoyne.

Lovett and #26 for Burgoyne

I really cant see any team giving up a top 10 pick this year. Port to some degree have to take whats on offer. Lovett and 26 isnt that shabby.


Think Hawthorn would give their pick 9 for Burgoyne, surely thats better than Lovett and 26?

i'd don't think either will get the deal done, Port will prob pass on 9 & Lovett. For Melb to get Burgoyne, it will cost pick 2; but Port will start negoiations with picks 1 & 2 then move to pick 2 and a player... But for all this to happen Burgoyne must choose MFC. If he does Melb have the upper hand b/c of PSD pick 1. It would be interesting if Burgoyne chooses Ess and the deal can't be done; could be another Nick Stevens because Melb, Freo, WCE, Rich, Syd could all afford him under any $ he puts on his head to try and get to the bummers.

Port adelaide would be stupid to take this tack. melbourne would just laugh at them and then hold out for PSD. if we were to get burgoyne it would be at the cost of a young gun (making the trade stupid) and 18.

it is one thing to negotiate hard. another completely to demand too much and then end up with egg on your face.

Port are in the old catch 22 ... the more expensive the price the more likely they are to get nothing ... making SB expensive I say, top quality player AA, think they should demand a minimum of 1 top ten pick, 1 top 20 pick plus a sweetner, look if you say your going to "talk tough" start doing it!!!

Accept no less Port or you have been weak insipid BS artists ... ;)

It depends where he's named as his preferred club... If he named us, there's no way Port can play hard ball, as we have first selection in the PSD...

On the other hand, when Stevens wanted to leave, he wanted to go to Collingwood. Collingwood didn't offer a fair trade, so they let him go to Carlton...

Big difference in the two scenarios...

Thanks for that

Think you might find Pies & Port had an in principle agreement ... Just pies couldn't get there part of the trade to agree to move.

  • 2 weeks later...

This guy will be in the front pages more than the backpages, several times before his playing days are out.

I think he had a penchant for stalking women a couple of years ago (apologies to A.L. if I have recollected wrongly, but I doubt it).

sponsers are hard to get, harder to keep, and extremely difficult if you team is full of immoral individuals.

don't need his influence on a young impressionable team.

 

Only if we're trying to break the record for the most unrelated Lovetts in any given place.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
