    The jetta and rohan deal doesn't sound too bad. I would prob prefer an A grader. Heard worse ideas though

    Will you be the one to apologise when it doesn't happen first?

    is he really that good for a straight swap?

    I havent seen too much of him, but heard good things

    I hope we get a little creative, maybe even jump in with some other trades going on. For example instead of just pick 2 for Shiel, how about we try and work in with Sydney as well. They have to try and work out getting something for Mumford.

    Might work like this-

    we give pick 2 and 22 (col's compo) and get Shiel (GWS), Smith and pick 31 (Syd).

    GWS get pick 2 and Mumford and lose Shiel (us) and pick 20 and 22

    Syd lose Mumford and pick 31 and get pick's 20 and 22

    Just throwing it out that a little bit of creativity might get us more than just a straight pick for player.

    yeah it is a bad idea. Both those players are good but neither address our problem for a need for midfielders than can play in the guts

    Sydney lose Mumford, smith and pick 31 for 20 and 22... Not to sure they're that generous

    Your right, we should be asking for more. Pretty sure rohan is an all round mid isn't he? Jetta isn't really what we are after, running wingman. We do need in and under mids and some class as well.

    Averaged a combined 16.8 possessions this year, Jetta 11.8, Rohan 5.0. Exactly what we need :)

    Both were coming off injury. Rohan will be an absolute gun when he gets up and running as a mid one of the quickest players in the game, good size and good overhead. Think Dangerfield.

    Not saying he would be a good trade but with Parker yep.

    Its basically Mumford for 20 and Smith and 31 for 22. It frees up a bit more salary for them and they can hit the draft with 3 picks in the top 22. I think theyd consider it, especially if Smith wants to play more midfield time.

    No longer want to trade for pick 2, want Nathan Freeman! A gun! Saw some vids of him on the weekend, excatly what we need. Could be ready made like Ollie Wines!

    Dylan Shiel for pick 2 would be a brilliant result.

    Will GWS have in mid 13ish pick this year as well? or is that just GC I'm thinking of in regards to the Caddy trade.

    lol @ Essendon trying to play hard ball when all their players are on the verge of ASADA bans

    Haha, yeah they officially "rule him off limits" when no one wants him or will only pay unders. :)

    Must be a very new experience for Messendon to be treated as garbage

    Brave new world hey ....get used to it

    From the club website:

    http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-10-07/trade-winds-monday

    Makes mention of a couple of Swans players in a package and mentions Nick Smith. Could be worth noting, especially seeing as Chris Pelchan has said Saints aren't trading Pick 3. Could Parker be the other player?

    Maybe it's Pick 2 for Smith & Parker?

    Why deal with them and make them stonger with a potential champ at pick 2. Thhey already have Buddy etc...

    Thats not the Freeman you're looking for.

    1. we win out of the deal at least as a start of an improve (a rebuild of a rebuild of a...)

    2. the stronger they get the more obvious their financial advantage becomes causing an eventual correction by the league and a stronger footing to argue for a more equal footing (as in AFL guaranteeing 100% salary cap payments).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
