Jamar out (Brisbane or St.Kilda for a pick upgrade) - Jolly in would not surprise me in the least.

I wonder if he'll get to the saints to backup longer & their others.

Lennon more suited to our needs in my opinion, and i think he will be there at 9

Well, now that Chapman has been locked away by the Bummers, he might stand a chance.

So...

Jamar + 40 to Brisbane for 29

Jamar + 40 to St. Kilda for 25

Jamar + 57 to Brisbane for 45

I'm just trying to look at possibilities for an upgrade with the teams you've listed there. The two years left on Jamar's deal will be tough to swallow for any club looking to trade for him as a short term bit of ruck help. The trade with St. Kilda I listed above is grand larceny on our part, and the deal for Brisbane's 29 is pretty cheeky also, but the three deals is all I could come up with given the picks the three teams hold. If Blease was of any interest to either of them then that's a different story and opens up some possibilities.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering why you were keen. There are a lot of Adelaide mids I like. He's not one of them. A case of style over substance IMHO.

I doubt anyone is going to take Dunn or Bail no matter how you dress the deal up. Happy to be proven wrong though.

I don't know much about him, except he was going well last year & we were keen to get him. his run & pace are sought imo.

if he wants to return to Melbourne IMo it fits with a change-out refresh of our lists culture. it makes it easier to change the culture with many fresh faces.

& we are short of good runners with pace. I was hoping to get someone like a White from the tiges.

our other running players are static atmo, from our recent list managementing, & we need some heart-starting.

it seeming like this was our preference anyway. we didn't chase him very hard at all.

That'll teach me to attempt obscure humour on here ;-) (it was a silly reference to Mark Chapman, John Lennon's killer).

Yes, ambitious isn't it. Saints have got 41 too. Maybe Jamar + 40 for 41?

I think if you were going to move Jamar on, you'd happily do it for the pick 103 that neither team intends to use.

I definitely think the Russian would be open to a move to Brisbane to be with his mate.

Although it is a good idea and works well for us, If I was St K or Bris I would be looking at getting Jolly for free, which is better than trading us for Russian. Unless Jolly doesn't want to go?

I thought I heard on trade radio or one of the papers that St K was talking to Jolly?

I know it's totally irrelevant, but David Mackay is from a dyed-in-the-wool Demon supporting family.

I'm sure they'd be rapt if he played for us.

Ok, Now don't take this as gospel, as it was posted on BF and I never really believe any of the rumors there.. but this one I had to share.

Rumours in Melbourne that Josh Kennedy is a massive chance to become a demon by the end of trade week.



Well known fact Buddy almost "bullied" him at Hawthorn. Kennedy is filthy at the swans and wants out.



Paul Roos is a big player in this, Watch this space

This was posted by a North Melbourne supporter. Dont think that has anything to do with it, just thought I'd add that.

I think we have completed our trades for this year.I rate it as excellent- a grat mix of maturity with potential.

To complete our list, we need the best pick for our Ist pick in the National Draft.--No.9 then we need to try to grab another tall back to develop.Congrats to Todd and the team

Pick 9 for Josh Kennedy, surely we'd have to add something else into the deal?

Sydney might bite too, would definitely loosen up a bit more cap space and give them an earlier pick.

Congratulations for the best rumour in 165 pages. Just enough believability (easy to picture Buddy being an arrogant knobhead)

And Kennedy may follow the guy who helped make him the player he is

95% unlikely to happen but love it anyway

Sounds like Longer is going to get to St.Kilda and Yeo to WC for 31. Brisbane may be in the Jamar market.

Jamar + 40 to Brisbane for 31

Jamar + 57 to Brisbane for 45

Jolly via delisted FA.

Agreed

Think theres a surprise or 2 left regarding the MFC

Roos, Mahoney, Viney and co. will not be content with what they've done so far no matter how good its been

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
