    Enjoyed that

    Nice one, I'd be happy with any of these trades aside from ones involving trading garland!

    Butcher re-signed at the end of last year for 2 or 3 years with Port. Could not imagine Port would entertain even looking at a trade.

    GC where in panic mode we would assist Brisbane - hence the "leaked" threat on Viney. Gc think they are in-front and are playing it super cool. But Tippett is yet to make his mind up - not only is he a big lumber-jack on the field he is off Adelaide are pulling all stops out to keep him. Yet have already secured a "replacement" for him - in principal for the short-term.. Adelaide think he is more likely to go and are chasing an early draft pick with us and the Bulldogs as candidates. Might not be a 3 way deal but might be inter-linked. There is 100% some funny business going on here - somebody is up to no good.

    Fun times ahead.

    Car'ton?

    Just putting it out there....

    Does that mean MFC aren't into - Ben Jacobs, K Stevens, Caddy, Toy or Giles?

    What's the view/word/vibe on the Viney situation? Pick 3 or 26ish?

    Definately an interesting read El Nudgo.

    So Morton will be a dee in 2013 because no one else wants him? :)

    Ive heard a few of those whispers online from various sources as well which is interesting. A couple Id heard differently were Bate - free agent; Salopek - very little interest anywhere, is planning on SAFL; Knights - wants to be a Tiger.

    As for Viney - he is as red and blue as you can be. We will take him no matter what no matter where. And you can take that one comment as gospel!

    I honestly dont know it could be 3-4 clubs, but someone is up to no good.

    Giles?

    This is a strange one - the longer it goes the more suspicious you have to become. Why GWS have not signed him up - is it money? Is somebody else into him?

    Thanks Nudge, it's always an interesting time of year.

    Have read that Giles and GWS are in disagreement over the length of the contract. 3 yrs on offer, Giles wants 4. Would have thought there'd be a few suitors for him if he became available.

    Cheers. Yeah they would be lining up. Which is funny 2 years ago he was un-wanted.

    If the Cloke/blues deal is slipping, or if e'd is concerned re losing a key forward? maybe the Cloke deal is effecting eveybloodything.

    Yeah its always the case - the big names hold everything up.

    Interesting thread this. The OP contains an amalgam of trade/FA/draft rumours and innuendo from a number of similar threads on the 'net including our own one about these rumours.

    Why should it not be merged with that one since the discussion is almost the same?

    Yes upgraded to "Visy' cartons. They hold more!

    i know someone that knows Giles, and he said the he is making it difficult for GWS because he really wants to go home.

    Hi Nudge,

    Great to have you back on here.

    Not sure if this is something that you can answer, but as you would be aware it seems like MFC has mentioned that they need to turn over the list a bit.

    With this in mind, are you hearing anything more than is normal in regards to Melbourne players.... either in terms of tradebait or potentially being delisted.

    Curious as to whether the amount of 'noise' is the same, and the %3 to %4 might increase this year.... or whether the amount of noise is greater in relation to MFC players and the % will remain similar.

    • 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.
