The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Featured Replies

Old man and Carr were having dinner with dodoro and Goodwin from essendon last night, hardly a good sign for BnF tonight..

Anyone confirm this ? No way Essendon could afford him and they have nothing to trade to Richmond.

 

until he proves his foot is back to good after a full season who the hell would take him?

Beat me to it OD... I was trying to fathom how anyone could think Clark would have good trade currency with Freemantle when there is still a massive dark cloud hanging over his immediate future, which will probably remain unknown until he has played freely for a few uninterrupted rounds next year.

Zaharakis would be a good trade

 

Zaharakis would be a good trade

He would but he won't leave Essendon now. plus they still couldn't afford him. Gone into debt for their new training facility and still need to pay the AFL's fine. Losing Crameri and Zaharakis would help but I don't think Zaharakis will leave.

anyone suggesting to trade Mitch Clark should be ashamed of themselves

Anyone judging others for constructively discussing options to improve our overall list on a trade rumour mill thread, regardless of probability or popularity, should be ashamed of themselves.


Taylor Adams not coming to the club. Hasn't even spoken to us..

Source: His manager on trade radio.

Martin has re-signed with the Tigers. All over Twitter.

There we go which suggests they will announce it tonight at the best and fairest as I suggested

Wonder if anyone in the audience will be cheering that move.

Tipping not Ralph Carr unless he got the coin he was after.


I notice in one of the social photos. Russell Robbo was seen with Zaharakis at the races Friday at the Valley.

I hope he was more than in his ear.

A christenson and Geelongs first pick for pick 2?

why is trade week radio on?

Surely the trade period hasn't started yet?

A christenson and Geelongs first pick for pick 2?

I don't mind that but it's paying overs and there would be little chance he would come to us. Very good player but not worth that much as of yet

Can't deal with this sort of build again

Robbie Flower says hello.


Not directly related to Melbourne, but my mail is that three Essendon players asked to be traded because of their loss of faith in the club with everything that happened this year. Zakarakis, Myers and Kommer. Apparently they managed to talk the former around (although i'd love for us to get into his ear). Crameri wanting out is due to money / oppurtunity, not the drugs scandal.

At the right price, i'd be interested in getting Myers to our club.

The beginning of the end for Essendrug, lol not only has it closed their window now, but the club will be on it's knees for a decade. It couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch :)

Robbie Flower says hello.

Yes he may say hello but he also played in an era that is not as taxing on the younger bodies as the afl is now. If you go by that then Cale Morton would have been a superstar

Because people like us listen.

Because Hutchy has found enough advertisers to pay for a couple of B grade presenters to do some talk back that doesn't cost much

And because clubs and managers are happy to provide content which they use to push their argument or distribute misinformation

Id go for a 3 way trade

Give pick 2 get back zaharakis and bullies 2nd pick

essendon give cremeri and zaharakis

Bullies give 2nd rounder

Cale Morton entered the AFL with only slightly different build than Nat Fyfe who was top 5 on ground Saturday and is 22.

Jack Gunston is only 21 and has a super skinny build but was second best on ground.

Can't deal with the no skinny kids attitude

Well played

I just don't think that our reults with skinny kids have gone well. Blease Cook Morton and a few others spring to mind.

Watching Fyfe is a tease, as he is the perfect example of size doesn't matter and comparing him to Morton makes me weep. I think we are a little gun shy on drafting the skinny kids now because every skinny kid we draft is an utter failure. It is the reason why I want to draft a ready to go "bull" because we are in no position to gamble on another stick insect at this point in time.

I'd really hope we talk to Zaharakis.

the others I haven't taken much note of?

Sadly we drafted the 'bull' himself Luke Tapscott, and he's proved to be just as useless as the skinny kids. I hope all the Melbourne drafters completely ignore the past. Don't rule out skinny kids, fat kids, red heads or women.. Pick who Paul and his trusted rate will develop into an a-game player. Whoever they back, I'll support....

At least until Round 1 :)

That's a horrible trade.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
