Essendon CEO Ian Robson & Recruitment manager Adrian Dodoro have walked out of the mediation with Gold Coast into the media room. Are they about to sign off the deal for Josh Caddy? Or are they going to be saying how disappointed they are that they couldn't land him at Essendon?

    Dont' expect GC to have much interest in Essendon's pick 18 - our compo pick is of more interest. There's no point in bundling 36 or 39 from Bate - they just traded away 32 and 34 presumably because they won't use them

    I thought you have to use a minimum of 3 selections in the ND or is it just turn over 3 players?

    Their list becomes smaller every year doesn't it?

    Tad confusing behaviour.

    Watching for Caddy related news in #tradeweek on Twitter is like watching the closing minutes of an Ebay auction... come to think of it, maybe next year the AFL could set up an Ebay store where these trades can be conducted.

    According to Barrett, Hooker and Gumbleton were thrown up by Essendon plus draft pick for Caddy but were of no interest to GC.

    Gumbleton's stocks have massively nosedived. Big fail for Bombers on that No.2 draft pick.

    Just a thought, i never heard it reported if we walked out at the same time?

    Yeah, I couldn't find where I heard or read that - and I've clearly got it wrong - looks like they want 2 picks at least but seem to have traded all their later picks away:

    1.41pm - Adelaide has received picks 27, 31 and 68 from Gold Coast for pick 24. The Suns look keen to have fewer, better draft picks, having now exchanged five picks (27,31,32, 34 and 68) for picks 24 and 26 in the past hour.

    If that's the case you would think our compo pick for next year would be very attractive to them with a player or two. 5 minutes to go looks like we missed him.

    God, I'm sick of not being able to atttract decent players to this Club. What has Harrington been doing all week?

    BomberBlitz is making for most amusing reading!

    Haha from Astro Bomber:

    "positive is those dirty lunch cutters Melbourne didn't get Caddy either."

    Caddy and many of his GC colleagues will be OOC at the end of next year. We've still got the 2 x 1st round compo picks.

    Indeed. Essendon being too tightarsed could work in our favour - we're in the box seat if he still wants to go next year. I'm loving this business of cleaning up because of other clubs' poor strategies.

    It's a great sign alone that Caddy wanted to come home. Expect he won't be the only one by the end of next year and we'll be in the box seat!

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
