It was my understanding that you couldn't trade draft picks that you received in the same trade period...can somebody confirm this?

    This won't happen. Especially, when there's a slim chance that we could pick SB for nothing in the PSD and hold onto Jamar. Besides, this goes against us trying to better our picks. Definitely won't.

    Just heard but not 100% that it is going to be Jamar and pick 11 for Shaun Burgouyne. Just waiting for confirmation.

    Where did you hear it from & what's the latest?

    From a guy and I don't know anymore. He just told me it was a matter of time before it was announced but like I said not 100% I don't even want to believe but thats what I have been told. Shocking deal if true !!

    Apparently this rumor has made it's way onto SEN (big deal, but yeah)

    Seems absurd though, Brock for 11, 11 for Burgouyne and we lose Jamar... crazy. Especially with even a slim hope of a pathway through the PSD.

    Think a few bozzos have just equated the rumor of Davey, Harrington and Burgouyne being seen together and Port's interest in Jamar, thrown in a Pick and Bingo !!

    Crazy talk... surely.

    Would Port really givepick 9/10 for Jamar? seems way over the odds to me.

    I want to know from all fans, do we want Burgoyne? simple yes or no. i am undecided. if the majority is yes, then pick 18 and Jamar for him maybe?

    SB is AD casin we will Waite to see what happens, then pick him up in psd, there is no point giving anything away for SB,the dees need a long term solution to their list SB will help as next season,and our high picks are for the future if we get him in PSD then it will not effect our rebuilding

    Burgoyne is a hell of a lot better than Brock so don't even throw him in the same category.

    Plus, we must have some belief that guys like Meesen & Spencer might step it up a notch.

    I rate Jamar but he's in no way shape or form a top Ruckman in the AFL. He's a better forward if anything.

    I'm sure we know what we're doing.

    I for one wouldn't mind a "big name" to the MFC. Would bring up our supporter base & TV packages.

    Plus, I'd like to beat every other club to him if that's alright with you blokes..?

    We could get him in the PSD but ruining links with Port Adelaide wouldn't help us now or further down the track?

    What if the same thing happened to us?

    We too would like to think we could get something for 'our' player.

    This deal goes against everything melbourne have been about over the past few weeks and even the last few years, not a chance in hell this is true.

    A subliminal message that Carlton is going to be part of the deal! :lol:

    I love trade week.

    If they said Jamar and pick 11, I reckon the club would think about it, and then in the end say no. They'd be too widely criticised. Burgoyne shades Brock as a player, but has fitness concerns and is 4 years older. It's just not a good trade, not when we have KP concerns. Pick 18, if you rate the mock drafts going round everywhere, is a real drop off from pick 11, so they might consider that one a bit more appropriate.

    My feeing is that they first 4 picks in the top 20 will be kept. Or possibly upgraded somehow. Burgoyne will only come as part of a multi-club deal, or by PSD... if that were the case, then sure, I'd have him. He'd be a good inclusion, but not the ideal/perfect one that many will insist it is. He's too old to be part of youth plans, and too old to be giving up prized picks.

    Hawthorn spreading advantageous little rumours again .... I love the Pelchen bloke ;)

    Just heard on SEN Burgoyne is meeting with Davey and Bailey in Collins st.

    What do we do?

    And who happened to mention this today ? You?

    He hasn't met anyone from Melbourne.

    No thanks.

    I will go buy 60 tablets of St john's wort if this happens, or get a prescription for zoloft.

    Funniest thing I have read all day!

    Shocking deal, that would mean we've given up Jamar & McLean for Burgoyne. Terrible list managment if that was the case.

    Not to mention pick 11. No thank-you.

  • Quote
    And who happened to mention this today ?

    Every Hawthorn supporter in Melbourne was there ... hence why the meeting was held in Collins street ... easier to get there via tram :o

    Aker went to bulldogs as a 27yr old for a second round pick in a normal draft. at that stage Aker only had 3 preimerships and a brownlow...

    Aker was 30yr not 27yr. Thus the second round pick.

  • Quote
    No thanks.

    can't see this happening think they (MFC) will play hard ball as they hold ALL the cards....... all rumours

    thanks for the correction...and what a great pickup for the dogs he has been too!

    The meeting was BS. SEN reported that his manager phoned them and said he has never met with the Dees. That and I think flash is still O/S.

  • Quote

    I doubt we'll be trading for Burgoyne. If we want him, we'll be persuading him to resist going to Hawthorn or any other club this week, and go into the PSD.

    None of this matters, because he'll end up at Hawthorn. Come Friday, Port will realise that they're not going to get any offers better than that which Hawthorn has already proposed. So they'll take it.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
