    We got something for him..... a verrrry generous pick 88

    I don't know what else you were expecting!

    Soft, outside, frontrunning, space creating space and space again types like Cale are absolute surplus to needs at this club.

    I reckon we did well outa the deal!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH,

    very true.

    Still bennell for me

    I still think he is the diamond.

    He is just now understanding what it takes.

    He will be one of our most beautiful players to watch.

    Think Cyril, but more elegant, yet delicate.

    One htat I would preserve with, for sure.

    There is plenty of room for Bennell and Jetta. We need them.

    To coin a radio parlance term: long time reader, second time poster (maybe third)

    I am a tragic/optimistic supporter. Every year we witness the comings and goings of players, sometimes coaches, sometimes administrators which drives posters to make an assessment of such a transition, of which I sympathise and empathise somewhat.

    I have generally been disappointed to lose players/coaches and hopeful that the new players/coaches will make a significant impact in the next few years, preferably immediately. There are a few exceptions, of course.

    This year is significanlty different! I am not certain whether Mark Neeld is the 10 year successful coach that we clearly need, and there always seems to be a better coach/player/administrator somewherer else. Mark Neeld and his team This trading period has seen a cleanout - those who don't want to play for us (Rivers), and those who we don't want or are ambivalent towards (all the rest, seemingly). This has to be a good situation for the future, even if the short term doesn't produce the results I am hoping for.

    Kudos must go to Mark Neeld and coaching staff, for attempting to change the culture of mediocrity. How is this going to turn out? I certainly do not profess to know. I do however know that the status quo within the playing group had to be disrupted.

    Considering that the biggest externally viewable difference that occurred this year was the introduction of Mitch Clark, with his singular focus to make Melbourne successful, this is a supporter that the change has to come from without, so that they can inlfuence within.

    Good luck to the former Melbourne players. Welcome to the new, and may you be the foundation of the reinvigorated Demons

    One look at this years Grand Final is all the proof you need to realise Morton is not cut out for the modern game.

    Sad such a high pick was wasted, but no point persisting further with a players who cannot provide what the coach demands.

    Worth the punt for the Eagles as they lose nothing, but I can't see him getting many games with them.

    Neeld and co have really rolled the dice in this draft. They have gone for all or nothing. I guess neeld couldn't wait long enough for this group to either change its attitude or improve their skills.

    I for one take my hat off to him by trying something different. We haven't come close to being contenders for at least 10 years.

    Something needed to change.

    If this experiment fails neeld won't be around for that much longer.

    Lets hope neeld and the coaching staff pull it off. Any which way, it's going to be a ride.

    The FD obviously (from where I sit anyway) want to save a few OOC players that they might have lost due to having these three players contracted.

    Morton's trade was not a good one but I understand that Neeld has enough projects to worry about Cale, Jordan, and Stef.

    They all needed help and they were all (again, from where I sit) outside the top 25 players at the club, even in terms of talent.

    In one of the papers today they said WC getting morton is just like getting a packed of twisties. I think no one in the footy world think to much of him.

    No, WC were likened to have given up a pack of Twisties (pick 88) to get him.

    I think that's right....in the same vein, Collingwood are contributing to Dawes' salary?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
