I think we should have a real crack, very explosive player, we have Viney coming, i reckon its a no brainer..

    Warming to this Kid after doing some research last night. Sees himself as a more inside mid who wants to really work on his outside skills. Tall enough and will soon have the body to match it. For our lesser compo pick whatever that is dictated to be then have a dip.

    Not for 2 compo picks though. Not only would we lose the compo but GC would gain them which we have to bear in mind as well. Could we get 2 players next year at around pick 15 in addition to Viney that would be a better gain than getting Caddy?

    Compo plus Petterd?

    I like Petterd but I'd probably take that trade. Gotta make sure you dont unsettle the playing group when using players like commodities for sale though.

    Brisbane are in mediation with the Bombers and Gold Coast. If we are in the ear of Brisbane saying that we are keen, they will go in to bat for us if the Mombers can't agree to things.

    Big hour and a bit to go...

    Caddy's future is currently the subject f mediation, with a third-party trying to broker a deal between the Dons and the Suns. Craig Hutchison reported on Trade Week Radio that Melbourne is in there pitching as well.

    Does this mean we are part of the mediation or are we dealing with this matter independantly?

    Schwabby has entered the building!!

    Haha just came swaggering in... Love it!!

    i got no idea how all this works, Terry Wallace suggesting Caddy would be top 5 in this years draft,

    Which is nice but he went 7 last year so any natural improvement would do this

    Shows that it WILL take a good offer you would imagine

    I love that we're just screwing everything up for everyone with last minute deals. Good one Melbourne! :)

    Is a smart tactic, come in with a better bid late, make the other team look unreasonable, give them little time to work out a response to our offer. WIN

    This in from "Trades as they happen" on the AFL website http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/125176/default.aspx

    "UPDATE, 12.20pm: Melbourne defender Matthew Warnock has joined Gold Coast as part of a three-way trade deal that also involved the Brisbane Lions.

    The deal saw the Lions give pick No.52 in the NAB AFL National Draft to the Demons.

    In return, the Lions gained Queensland zone player Dayne Zorko (he was the captain of QAFL team Broadbeach in 2011) and pick No.47 from the Suns.

    Gold Coast gained the Lions' second round pick (No.34).

    Warnock will strengthen Gold Coast's defence in the club's second AFL season.

    The 27-year-old has played 55 games for Melbourne since making his debut in 2006."

    I had hoped that we'd use him to get Caddy, and I admit to my heart jumping once reading the word Gold Coast and Warnock in the same sentence but it seems he's gone now for pick 52. Should we throw that pick back at them? or maybe we need to get rid of someone who we don't really want to lose. Depends how badly we want Caddy. Maric and Bater are still on the table and Pencil is as good as gone.

    Melbourne finally throwing some weight around during trade week. Love it. Not enough to throw two first round picks at Caddy though. They can have our second compo pick and Maric if they want. Bate too.

    Even if it just forces Essendon to up their offer for him, it's win. Hate that club.

    Someone above mentioned a compo + Petterd. I'd do that deal as much as I like Rickybobby.

    I know...its beautiful isnt it. Might jsut have more than a chance at landing him too. We can trump Essendon. , that would be satisfying in itself :)

  • Quote

    Even if we don't get Caddy we can still make Essendon up the ante in terms of what they offer.

    But it would almost be worth getting Caddy just to see Bomberblitz go in to an absolute meltdown.

    I hope melbourne screw bombers into paying more...will make clark look cheap at pick 12.

    I hope we get him..lol even better

    Right now, it appears that Essendon and Melbourne are working hard at securing the services of Caddy, we'll keep you updated! #tradeweek

    After the public kicking we received over Scully, Schwab and Co must be loving getting back in the ring and throwing some weight around.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
