I understand that Warnock has expressed a preference for the blues. I think that would be close to a straight swap. Very similar standard players. Both have dodgy kicking and decision making.

Getting O'failpin to Melbourne would be akin to asking Ben Holland to make a comeback; we'd probably get more value out of Ben.

Please let this only be a rumour started by some sadistic Carlton supporter paying us back for Brock. In fact I'd rather take Brock back.

Heard a rumour tonight from the guy 2 in front of me in the checkout queue at Belgrave Safeway, who told the checkout girl that he had heard from a cousin of an assistant coach at Melbourne that they were close to trading Brendon Goddard for Cale Morton and an early draft pick.

Said it was "win-win" because the Saints have salary cap issues and Goddard sees his future at the Dees now the window's closed at St Kilda. What d'you reckon... ?

Lovely if it happens, but......there is no way in the world the Saints would ever do this deal.

What do I reckon ?

I reckon the checkout girl should involve herself in a trade to Coles, because prices there are going...down, down.

I can here the wheels ticking from princes park, here's where we can pay back the Dees for Brock & CJ.

C'mon Craigy, do your thing mate. Have the Crows got a spare tall forward or 2, & do they need a solid tall back?

I new I should have shopped @ Safeway today, instead of the lousy Indian run Coles I went to. When you ask them where the Weet Bix are, they show round the whole store before ending in the next aisle, and then wait for a Tip.

Goddard you say, No, not 2 comp picks! Morton + P12, or a comp pick next Year? Yes, I think so!

You had to ask where the Weet Bix is in a Coles?

Either you made up the story because you don't like Indians, or you really aren't the sharpest tool in the shed.

No [censored] sherlock. I'm not too fussed about what they do.

I love trade week

When all is said and done, there will be more said than done

Why they extended it for two days totally escapes me\

Still it is great for those posters anxious to boost their post counts

Bring back zones and form fours I say

If Maric is going to North would entertain a straight swap for Campbell or Urquart.

Will be interesting to see what the cost is for Lisle. is he out of contract?

I don't mind this at face value, but from a list management perspective Maric is a delistable and we don't have many of those. If we did this deal it becomes doubly important to re-home Bate and/or Dunn or we'll find ourselves having to delist contracted players. It would also significantly reduce Joel Macdonald's chances of a new contract.

Would be a shame to part ways with Maric. Has obviously run/running out of chances, but he was looking pretty impressive in the NAB cup... Don't feel as though we have gotten the best out of him.

I'm trying to imagine Maric playing like Stokes or Christensen in the GF - and struggling.

We have gotten what he can produce. There is nothing more to see with regards to Maric he has had ample opportunity the best thing for him would be a trade.

Hopefully for his sake someone will pick him up.

Which is exactly the point at which you need to make the call, while he still has some currency. He is highly unlikely to become a superstar and is highly likely not part of our best 21 going forward.

We have sat on Bate for too long, would have got significantly more if we had acted sooner.

    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
