Brock still has some good footy in him. Feel for the guy.

Brock did what he thought was right, and Carlton did make the rigth trade, because a fit Brock makes them better.

Master stroke? Looks that way, but until our pick 11 turns out to be as good as our trapper pick 16, we will have to wait and see who the real winner is.

Agreed. He is their problem now but can somebody correct me if I am wrong in thinking that all the players that were traded for 1st round picks are off the field this week - Lovett, Gibson and Mclean or am I missing somebody?

Also, Gibson went for a 2nd and 3rd rounder, not a first.

Don't want to gloat but this combined with the Trapper trade are looking like master strokes. Brock is just sooo injury prone.

On SEN tonight, The OX brought the Travis Johnstone trade up whilst they were talking about Darren Jolly's poor performances so far for Collingwood. They were talking about what other options Collingwood had in the ruck and came up with Cameron Wood (who they did not really rate)... Schwarz's words were something like "Collingwood got Cameron Wood, Brisbane got Travis Johnstone and Melbourne got Jack Grimes... who do you think won out of that trade?"

I looked up an old article to check the particulars of that trade and found this:

Melbourne fans' anger over Travis Johnstone trade

Intersting to look back. I'm very happy with the outcome now, even though I'm happy to admit I was one of these unhappy Melbourne supporters.

The article also mentions the Meesen trade. Someone made a note that karma may have caught up with us on that one. I don't really think the punt of pick 37 on a possible ruckman was really too big a loss for us. Certainly a smaller price than Collingwood has paid for their two underperforming Ruckmen (pick 14 for Wood and 14 and 46 for jolly).

Yep.I meant Burgoyne and I forgot Fev.

Meh. That is what happens when you are completely one eyed - you tend to not know what other teams are up to.

You forgot to mention Josh Fraser...Number 1 pick as i remember!! Always soft, Jeff White loved taking him apart B)

I wasn't...and wouldn't be, even if Grimes didn't make it. The terms were still good.

If Brisbane somehow sneak a flag - I don't think they will, but Voss' trading indicates he's going all out - they might also be happy with the trade if TJ can provide some silk.

The TJ trade was done while Matthews was coach of Brisbane.

I'm going to reserve my judgement on whether the Brock trade was good for Carlton until I see Judd, McLean, Kreuzer, Murphy, Warnock and Gibbs all in action together.

you will be waiting for some time.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
