Melbourne should consider trading Cam Bruce to the Gold Coast Schoolies.

If we are going to lose a player, it makes sense we would trade someone coming to the end of a career (GC want experience), is coming out of contract (Bruce is on a juicy wedge), and who carries some value (more since the AFL have upped the compensation).

The main question: would GC want him?

    doubtful. they want experience but they will be looking at someone who can play for at least 4 years, dunno if brucey can last that long. i think we should keep him, we could use hes leadership.

    In order to trade, barter negotiate etc you must have something worth exchanging. There is nothing in Bruce that an emerging club could benefit from. Hes soon to be 31 !! He'll be lucky enough to see out his time in the red and blue. There is ZILCH trade value in Cam.

    Is he eligible for the veterans list next year, given he's been there since 2000? If so half of his contract can be paid through the veterans list. I guess whoever out of he or Green is paid more would be the one placed on it.

    And by that question I also meant to say Bruce is a key part of our onfield experience and thus shouldnt be traded. And neither would i think he'd be of interest to GC.

    It is my believe he is a veteran now.

    IF Brucey goes, what, if any, impact do you think this will have on Brad Green and his future. They are pretty tight these two. They started together and I always thought tehy would finish together. I am not suggesting for a moment taht Greeny would leave, but stuff like this does impact players. He will be 'left behind' so to speak and most of his vintage have either been moved on or retird/traded. Junior may or may not play on. Miller gone. Will be Brad and the kids!

    Brad will be too busy enjoying our resurgence to be to out of sorts lol :) Brad is a proffesional . Net effect on CB finishing .. Nada

    Yep Cam is a veteran at the moment - replaced Robbo at the end of last year I think? And we have Green eligible at the end of the year, if McDonald or Bruce leave.

    whats the point trading for unknown when we have a list of it...ie., gawn, blease, etc...

    is melbourne going to have the salary cap in three years time to sign a super player when we actually need them or we going to hope for a barry hall type to come along?

    • 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.
