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.

    Sounds like a pretty credible source.

    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

    Bate to Western Bulldogs

    Maric to North

    Jordan Lisle to the Dees

    mentioned here

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/saints-field-offers-for-gram/story-fn69a32t-1226163554972

    Don't know much about Lisle other than all aussie u18 - anyone know much?

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
