Carlton don't lose players they want to retain.

    I really hate this aspect of the GWS and GC formation. I think it is sad that clubs fans, even those of Carlton who lets face it, we aren't too fond of, have to deal with a year of speculation and underhanded dealings only to find one of their stars is gone.

    While Carlton have gotten more service from Murphy than we have from Scully so far I would really feel for Carlton if they lost him as he was one of their first draft picks earnt during one of the darkest periods for their club.

    I will be siding with any club that is poached by GWS as I think the formation of a new club is fine only if we aren't hindering the original clubs to ensure their success and that the way concessions have been implemented causes pain for the clubs, players and fans involved...

    Got me with him, though to the other poster, Shaun Grigg was traded for Collins. Perhaps i should have added the word "star" before players. I don't think they will let any star player they want to keep go to another club.

    Wouldn't be a trade, that's the thing. Same as all the other player moves, it'd be a snatch and grab.

    He's one of the few. They didn't have Salary Cap sanctions for nothing, and they don't hasve all that silverware in the cupboard for nothing.

    I noticed on the Footy Show last week, that when talking about players going to GWS (they were grilling Thomas as he was on the panel), Scully didn't even get mentioned. For someone who was apparently 'gone', it was odd that he didn't even get spoken about. Damian Barrett also mentioned that GWS were having a hard time signing any players and that they had conceded that their best option would be to put pressure on clubs to pay big $ now, making it easier at the end of need year.

    The biggest problem GWS will face is their location

    Murphy has already shown his hand on location when he had the option of being at Brisbane under the father and son rule

    Instead he chose Carlton who picked him up as priority pick #1

    what i do consider however is that it will only be money that makes him move to GWS

    Pretty sure his father John has alot of influence on his contract negotiations

    Will be Interesting

    Sheedy has said this week they would target KPPs over other players.

    Meaningless. Sheedy has for years played a game of not always telling the truth. I'm not criticising him - everyone involved in football understands that it's all part of the bigger game. Some are just better at it than others.

    It was a joke - it's Shaun Grigg!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
