The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Yeah, I visited a Carlton fan forum and they were suggesting that the Blues should target Nathan Jones.

Makes as much sense as Kennedy I guess. These things are only going to get worse and the clubs themselves are going to throw up some rubbish to try and get pick one....that's going to be a good laugh too.

Really? How odd. They're obviously impressed with McLean. :P Jones'd great B grade, cusp of A grade with Judd and Murphy around him. Obviously, I don't we should trade him though. It follows naturally that if we could get an A grader or two alongside Jones, he'll be an important part of a bullocking MFC midfield.

Personally, I think a few FAs are starting to open up. Sewell and Dal Santo could be perfect experienced big pay FAs and I'd throw the kitchen sink at Sydney's Kennedy and all of a sudden, you have a starting midfield of Sewell, Jones and Kennedy. That's looking closer to A grade than D grade. Dal Santo could then play across half back and play through the middle to give the others a chop out occasionally. Stick Trengove on a wing, Grimes on the other and you've got players that can play through the middle to support these A graders you've brought in.

The message - we must be aggressive at trades and FAs. Even more so if we get a PP.

Del Santo is a class mid but I am unsure if he is the type you could build a midfield around. His influence often appers to be his skilfulness rather than his impact on games of team mates being inspired by him. I am unconvinced that he would/could influence Viney, Toumpas, Barry too much. Now Brad Sewell on the other hand...

Good assessment, I think exactly the same words apply for Dale Thomas. If we could get one really tough, leadership type ie Sewell and another such as Dal Santo, Thomas etc we'd be flying.

If it has to be one, the Sewell type is spot on.

As we found last year it ain't that easy to get these players as success becomes more of a factor for the older guys rather than money (for the most part anyway).

If we get one of the names being thrown around here I'll be very happy.

The idea of say a Dal Santo would be to add him to midfield not build one around him

Anyone keen on Leeroy Jetta? Looks set to leave the Dons this season.

Yes ,provided he escapes the Peptides sanctions, the Bombers are in massive limbo.

Stupid because they'd have no hope in getting Hogan from us. Jetta would be an upgrade from quite a few guys on the list at the moment so as long as we didn't have to pay too much, I'd take that.

Probably going to get shot down for this, but would we consider offers for Trengove?

don't get me wrong i think he will come good but if he doesn't next year we have to look at our options.

We don't need forwards we need an engine room Adams from gws and any other quality mid in the free agent period or trade (if any club wants to) need to make bold plays like we have with Clark and Dawes if we can assemble a midfield and they have a couple of pre season wins we might knock off a few sides in home and away season

Depending on the finals this year Sewell might be a target if he doesn't get game time and dion prestie ( if he hasn't signed with the suns ) $$$$$$$$ and 3 yrs min

Dion Prestia resigned earlier this year

    Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes 5 Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
