Surely not...

What has Hickey shown so far?

For pick 13, I'd be wanting Zach Smith or Gorringe.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere it could be hickey 26 and 46 for pick13 that sounds I little better for saints?

And, to think, some people thought pick 12 for Mitch Clark was 'overs'.

Is that what we gave for him? I can't even remember. seems irrelevent now.

You're spot on Ron.

Pick 12 for Lucas Cook was Exhibit Overs.

Reported on the Facebook page:

Martin to Brisbane for pick 33.

Gysberts to Essendon for Brent Prismall and a fourth round pick.

beat me to it TP, i wouldn't mind prismall but the fact is he has never played for then 15 games due to aalot of injuries. if he could become injury free he would be a bargain as he wins alot of the ball.

Good lord really? Just have a sinking feeling with a Gys shooting off somewhere else. Will it bite in future, especially with a Prismall who struggles to get on park.

way prefer Gys over Prismall. Prismall never met the hype over him when he crossed from Geelong. Really not keen.

Prismall played a couple of good games for the cats (stats wise) and then went to the bommers and has done nothing!

If this happens Gysberts may well become Jobe Watson #2 and we'll be cursing this trade for years and years to come.

I admit I haven't seen much of Prismall but it seems like he had a pretty good year in 2010 although he only played 15 games. Averaged 22.3 disposals, 5.6 marks, and 5.1 tackles per game. However having never played more than 15 games in a year (none this year), it would just be stupid if this trade went down.

I don't know why people always worry about these player movements coming back to bite us. We will only get to play them a maximum of two games per season, and in most cases, the ex-Melbourne player is hardly likely to be the one that turns the game around (exceptions possibly being Farmer and Thompson). If he does better at another club, then good luck to him.

I don't mind Prismall and if this means we also get Pedersen and Ray into the deal, then I'm all for it as that's a lot of experience coming on board, regardless of whether they are A grade, B grade or C grade players... they come from football departments that teach finals footy.

Rodan and Prismall? I'd just about forget next year and watch Storm.

Any deal with Essendon should be viewed with suspicion, they only let hacks go at top price and this fits that bill.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
