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!

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?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
