Hale would be an option! The Pick 14 and Thronton for Taz is complete utter silliness but good crack at some deals there, love the Maric 4 Davey!

Dees pretty quiet in rumours atm! Normally at work I hear a few but not many at all as yet, which could actually be a GOOD sign! Hpwever, one thing I can say is that picks are not on the agenda, Warnock to Blues is on, but far more likely to involve another club as well or be a player swap for say Setanta or Hampson etc

    I am surprised that there has been little if any comment on the first trade in this post.

    Were we to get A(nother) Davey for Maric surely we would grab it with both hands.

    If not IMO Maric will probably just be delisted.

    No Mono,,, Maric has 1 Yr to run on contract, he's nearly ready to deliver. But to me, my question re him is temperament, he could be almost anything, but then could be a big headache to.

    I don't know but wouldn't be totally surprised or disappointed, If we were to trade. But maybe next year would be more beneficial, especially if he has a breakout year.

    Melbourne: Pick 19

    Carlton: Matthew Warnock

    I've been wondering whether we could possibly get involved with Carlton in another trade that would net us another first round draft pick.

    I really think it would be worth our while to continue along our recruiting path of recent years and manage to finish with two top 20 picks. It would give a good opportunity to further develop the list. But would the Blues go that way again? :)

    Tend to agree as it gives Carlton a tall defender (Warnock) which is what they need

    Carlton,s trend seems to be looking for experienced players and not kids so expect that direction to continue

    Really believe we need to get another early opportunity to draft another player like Fitzpatrick (KP Forward / Ruck)

    Hope not.

    I've spent years bagging the crap out of him to all my Carlton friends (Saint Sultana). Embarrassment much!

    Heard some rumour about us being pretty keen on Hale today.

    GC is more likely to get him but who knows....

    Wouldn't want to give up much.

    Hale would be at no.672 on my list of AFL players to chase.

    Thank god the FD don't think like some of us.

    I particularly liked the Tarrant to Carlton one, for pick 14 and L. Clogger.

    Dropping yet another first round pick for a player that very well could be all but done.

    The word is that Maric wants out. I have been told by Club sources that he can't see himself getting a run in the seniors with the likes of Jetta and Aussie filling the role. I think a trade for Maric looks likely

    4 characters and you had to edit it???

    lift your game rpfc ;)

    I had to edit it because Mr Orange placed it in the quote box from my post, leaving his line unquotable.

    I thought it prudent to ask what 'there's always one anal in the mix (sic)' means...

    Relax . . . I was only kidding you ;)

    BTW, not taking sides, but I'm sure you did understand what he meant

    Pick 12 is off limits. I considered it with regard to Mundy. That matter is now closed. Pick up best available is still the mantra.

    With regard to Warnock, if there is interest in him, it is worth looking at. I would imagine Tarrant will be highly sort after from the likes of the Blues, Hawks and even his former club the Magpies now that he wants to leave Freo and return to Victoria. Tarrant would be priority no.1 as a backman.

    It is a good question and quite amusing..."would the Blues go that way again?"

    Warnock offers insurance for us down back if Frawley goes down or maybe a Rivers. However, he is limited to the Fullback position and doesn't offer much for rebound and his agility in the air is average (compared to the longer reaching Rivers). If Carlton fall out of contention for Tarrant, and are interested in MW and pick 19 18 is thrown on the table...it is high five's for all (as far as Melbourne is concerned.. ;) ).

    Two top 20 picks would be a big plus for a developing side continuing to build & recruit amidst the GOLD rush (GC & GWS Draft concessions). Given all of the Gold Coast picks, any established AFL side (in development phase '3') to have two picks inside the top 20 would be very much worthwhile. Reinforces the foundation.

    I think pick 19 is too high for either Warnock or Tarrant.

    It'd be more likely to be pick 19 for Warnock & pick 33.

    Melb: jones to essendon

    Inequitable trade and we lose the most of anyone.

    I'll be interested to see what deal is done for Tarrant.

    He's probably only got 2 years in him, but is still a very good defender.

    Question is what is a 30 year old quality defender worth???

    Richmond, Essendon & Western Bulldogs are all clubs who I reckon would be interested in Maric.

    Good call on the doggies possibly wanting Maric.

    They do lack a decent FP.

    Is Maric decent though ?

    And who is that young small solid chap who played the final against Sydney for his debut ?

    There's no doubting Maric's potential and that he was a quality junior. If Melbourne do trade Maric I think we'll be banking on his potential to get us a good deal.

    Think the guys name was Christian Howard or something like that. Looked ok, nothing sensational. I'd rate Maric ahead of him personally.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
