    He's 28 and had an 'inconsistent' year with Adelaide.

    What is it about him that appeals to us as a future player?

    He's mature and he's cheap..?
  • Quote

    He is better than the older midfielders we have which is none.

    Agree with this. I think there are a few more dominoes to fall in terms of picks and players before we go for Vince. At 28 he isn't worth the second pick in the draft. Mahoney mentioned we might be getting players and picks so it may be Vince, another player a second round pick (or something like that) for pick 2.

    Whay does it have to involve pick 2. We'll have pick ~21 and 22. That's more on the mark for a 28 year old.

    Would hope it would be more than Vince for our second rounder, would view this as an overall loss.

    If linked with Lyons as well would certainly look at this as being win win.,

    They need that pick more than we need a 28 year old overrated B grader so would need a sweetener ( Lyons ).

  • Quote

    Purely speculative....

    How about the Sylvia compo pick (maybe 22) & Jamar

    For Bernie Vince & Jarryd Lyons

    - Instant midfield solution if the Dees rate Lyons - there has been a rumour linking him to MFC

    - Jamar gets to go back to Adelaide - and they might be trading out McKernan

    - A virtual swap of Sylvia for Vince - roughly equal value and same age

    - Get to keep all of our original high picks unless we trade pick 2 out

    Given we have ONE midfielder who could even be discussed as better than B-grade, and a bunch of C, D and E graders running around, I wouldn't be so sure.

    28 is not old either.

    Did anyone else hear on KB show(SEN) that Balme heard that Pendlebury was up for trade? Pretty sure thats what I heard him say... He could have just been being cheeky...

  • Quote

    The Ox on SEN mentioned something about this guy coming to us.

    Info is second hand, anyone else hear it?

    Heard it. He was definitely taking the p155.

    i didn't know Elliot was a midfielder.

    Elliot is a gun, he'd be a great target for not only MFC, but any side in the comp.

    I'd rather Elliot higher than Adams and by a fair space.

  • Quote

    Elliot isn't a midfielder but he'll be the best small forward in the comp in a couple of years. We need a small forward too.

    It would be nice to complete one trade to keep the panicky woe is us dudes quiet for a moment.

    Perhaps pick 121 for 120, just something... please.

    Yep it seems Melbourne and other fans go into a fit if their teams aren't heavily involved in the trade period every day. How many cam Pederson's do we want? No news is good news for me at the moment.

    I think we are saving pick 121 to find a replacement for Pederson

    A direct swap for me would improve the list.

  • Quote

    Right, someone needs to get a hold of Josh Mahoney and tell him to get the following done, ASAP:

    Dom Tyson and pick 9 for Sam Blease and pick 2
    Bernie Vince and and Lyons for 2nd rounder (Sylvia compo pick)
    Viv Michie for 3rd Rounder
    Daniel Cross as delisted FA.
    Draft Matt Crouch or Luke Dunstan with pick 9

    If this all came to fruition we'd have a midfield consisting of N. Jones, Vince, Cross, Trengove, Viney, Tyson, Crouch/Dunstan, Toumpas, Michie in 2014.

    Add in a fit Clark and Hogan to the forward 50 and it's virtually Premiership time.

    Seriously though I'm not sure the Giants would go Tyson and 9 for Blease and 2 but the rest looks feasible, right?

    We will be trading pick 2 and Mark Jamar to Adelaide for Brad Crouch and Bernie Vince.

    That is the third statement of 'fact' from you about a trade involving Pick 2.

    Stop posting for a while.

    That is the third statement of 'fact' from you about a trade involving Pick 2.

    But they're getting better. If they were getting worse I'd recommend a rest. Just imagine what we'll be getting by the end of the trade period.

    In my dreams we will be trading pick 2 and Mark Jamar to Adelaide for Brad Crouch and Bernie Vince

    Fixed!

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
