Hawks star joins Magpies

"Young last night informed Hawthorn, Collingwood and Port Adelaide, which had also made a substantial offer for the long-kicking left-footer, after agonising for days over the decision to quit the Hawks."

    He has ordinary disposal, gets masked by his occasional bomb from outside 50.

    This could be one of the worst calls ever made. The guy has a laser boot and is one of the best kicks in the AFL. Was on track for a Norm Smith in 2008 before he got injured make no mistake

    Huge trade period by the pies imo......

    Trading players for picks and replacing them for free with free agents.

    equals same player plus 2 extra top 20 picks......

    Settle down- they replaced Dawes with Lynch and Wellingham with Young which is kind of a break even result, and they get pick 17 and 18 or whatever it is. Both picks could be busts. Maybe

    Anyway I wouldn't say they kicked the trade week's arse. We are the masters of this trade period so far

    We've done well but reckon the Pies have done pretty well too - sure, you won't know for sure until we know how good their picks are but they've basically replaced like for like and picked up two free first round draft picks. Pretty good going really. Free agency has some great aspects to it but already I worry that it makes the strong clubs stronger.

    Pies quoted today's in Herald Sun as not being interested and now a Pie. Who told porkies yesterday?

    Clinton Young's first appearance with the Pies and apparently he's in a moon boot... bet there are a few nervous supporters out there :-)

    Wish some of ours could kick low and hard to advantage like he can

    Surely some kicking traing is in order for the Melbourne Players

    I have not seen many other sides kick high floaters as often as our guys

    It just gives the defence so much time to defend

    We definitely need a kicking coach. If not recruit some who can like Clinton can.

    He went at 71.9% disposal efficiency this year. AFL average was 72.4%

    Melbourne players who went at better than 72%...strauss, watts, frawley, rivers, garland, sellar, dunn, bennell, bartram, davey, jones, jetta, macdonald, moloney, mcdonald, grimes.

    I do watch games tho, and I have many Hawthorn mates who would agree with me. but hey worst calls ever made? maybe you're right

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
