Just tweeted that Brisbane Lions are "circling" Martin

    What possible trade options are there? Any players? Pick 23 or 30?

    Pick 30 please.

    Or mid with a bit of experience...

    Give me a sec...

    Pick 30 please.

    23 to much to ask? I was always of the opinion that a straight swap for Dawes would seem a fate trade for both parties and obviously we paid pick 20 +

    how about Moloney ?

    (stupidest thing I have posted but not the dumbest thing I have seen on here)

    What about Hanley, Hawksley, or Banfield?

    Proabably not going to get Redden or Rich...

    Would like Banfield and a late pick swap

    Pick 43 will do if that gets us the pedo.

    Hawksley has been delisted I think. Hanley wouldnt be bad and not sure on banfield. They look to have a few picks to play with and are happy enough to recruit mature players my guess would be pick 23 (great for MFC) or 30 (more likely)

    Play hardball... Rich or no deal.

    I just saw someone say play Frawley in the midfield, so not the dumbest thing today anyway

    Might as well demand the 01-03 Premierships while we're at it.

    Ok, I'll go with that... add them to the list ;-)

    Yes, and Voss to un-retire and come to us as a 22 year old.

    You don't ask you demand like the Pies did. You want Martin, pick 23 is the price.

    Gee, can you arrange it?

    Ok redleg I'll let em know!

    Grimes and gys running together - very good sign. Can't see Gys getting traded if he's running with the captain. Not enuf value to trade - too much up side that needs a full preseason. Good move, good leadership Jack.

    Keep please. (I did say please...)

    Well Grimes was in full team training kit, while Gys was just in a white T-Shirt - not that I'd read into that.

    Yes, but I will need a toothpick, some rubber bands, half a tyre and Richard Dean Andersen.

    And a time machine...

    I like hearing this - wouldn't mind if Gys was 'glued' to Grimesy this offseason. Like the Gys - from an outside point of view looks like he needs to do some hard yards, would love to see him play well in the red and blue

    Sounds like Martin will be traded - Im not unhappy about that

    Pretty sure they'd laugh & tell us to keep him.

    A loss for us when pick 30 would be a win and their later pick would be breaking even. IMO.

    Martin is contracted for 2013, so a trade assumes that he is prepared to move to the Sunshine State. May be reluctant given his studies? I'd love to get pick 23 for him, but I doubt that even Brisbane would be silly enough to play that game.

    I reckon pick 30 is great value for Stefan, considering we got him off the rookie list and he isn't a regular part of the team now. Lets let someone else get enticed by his athleticism and potential, and have the opportunity to grab another young prospect.

    I just don't see us needing Martin any longer. Not with what Spencer showed late last year, nor Sellar's play. Not to mention the fact that we've still got Gawn and even Fitzpatrick to play in the ruck.

    If pick 30 is on the table, we should be accepting that straight away.

  • Quote

    Yeah pick 30 would be great, but 43 is more likely. Just a gut feeling.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
