The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Sort of like how Melbourne turned Pick 5 into Brock McLean, Brock McLean into Pick 11, Pick 11 into Jordan Gysberts, Jordan Gysberts into Cam Pedersen (with a downgrade inpicks in North's favour), with Pedersen clogging our list for 3 years. Would love to go through other trading and drafting flows and see if any club can top that.

Lol good way of putting it.

if you need it. I had a fairly nasty piece typed up about his family, ready to post yesterday, but didn't like it so listened to myself. I deleted it before posting. something I'm trying to do more often lately.

I feel better for it.

I did exactly the same thing. I too feel better for deleting it.

Would be great if you blokes could stop clogging up the trade news thread with posts about how you deleted other posts. Just sayin.

GWS are getting a player of Shaw's calibre, but at a discount price as Colligwood are paying a portion of his salary the next 2 years.

That makes it a fair bargain for GWS, because going forward they'll have more cap room to bring in another under the same circumstances.

And they run the risk of being like us the last 6 years - lots of talented directionless kids, and few solid veterans to guide them.

funny that, that it was e'd who was complaining about the salary caps of teams like the Swans & GWS, now it seems he's paying them to exist. a beautiful Irony :lol: I think.

nope not at all, but politically, imo, the more right winged are generally the more fixated & goal oriented to their wishes... this leads them to tred over others in their quest.

Stalin and Chairman Mao come to mind, just off the top of my head...

They are a different bunch up there. Moloney and Martin fit like a glove for them.

On face value, those two trades from Brisbane don't look very good. Unless they know something we don't (e.g. they have a trade lined up for one of those picks for some good player), that's a horrendous way to finish the year.

Three more players to leave, too (Karnezis, Yeo, Longer).

Brisbane are going to be an absolute shambles next season with these trades and the outgoing senior players like Brown and Black.

Another win for us I hope!

Yeah I have to say on the back of all that, we should be beating Brisbane next year. And I don't say that about any team.

I haven't read about any of them, I don't like communism, nor dictatorships.

I was talking about my experiences in Australia & with the changes within our Culture, since the advent of credit cards & easily available credit happened.

Homes have turned into investment commodities, & have gone up in price, in particular properties in big cities,, & country communities have had the lifeblood sucked from their lungs.

..... but the reversal has started around 1986, it hasn't hit just yet, but the writings are on the laneway walls.

the people are worse off, as all properties have gone up in cities roughly pro-rata, but are further from reach for first-time homebuyers who can't get that home. thus more division happens of communities.

the attitudes are following the US very rapidly down a dead end street. unemployment is growing throughout the West, whilst Asia grows. but when the West goes down, so will the whole monetary system. bringing Asia down to.

IMO this is when people will return to their roots, players likewise.

there must be a lot of discontent up there, & it must be deep.

sometimes I guess it may be better to let the ones who are over it go their way. to save the pace from getting worse. those who are committed to the club can re-lay the foundations to continue.

I can't imagine they let them all go willy nilly.

Brisbane are likely to end with picks 7, 22 + 34 (Polec), 28 (Yeo), 33 (Docherty) and probably 25 (Longer). Not sure what they can do with them though. I would've thought they could trade some of them in pick down grades for players on one or two year deals.

Moloney must be thinking he is cursed. Left Geelong to Melbourne just before they became a powerhouse on field, dees turn to sh1te then Brisbane look even worse.

Karma ??

Please do us all a favour, exercise a whole lot more self censorship.

Try deleting 9 out of 10 posts, the forum will be better for it.

    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

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
