The Tom Boyd Cup, Saturday 3rd August 2013

Tom Boyd would be a great get to ontrade. We have Hogan.

But we could deal hardcore with every club if we had Boyd.

But GW$ will have first pick. They won't win 2 games.

Nice dream though.

Huge game next week, Cameron was on fire today.

Agree we need mids mids & mids

If we manage to get a PP and it is Pick 1 it goes on the table to the highest bidder and put it out there that the chance at Boyd will not come cheap

Crows Sloan & Henderson/Mckay

Blues - will need a third party involved because they will not give up Murphy or Gibbs

Lions - Rockliff & Hanley

Dockers - Barlow & Michie

Saints - Steven & Armytage

Dogs - I don't think they will give up Griffen but that is where I would start asking along with Libba absolute clearance machine

Port - Wines & Gray

If clubs want Boyd that bad one of those clubs will give us something good

I agree with what you have on the table for Boyd but if we get the pick I would keep him and trade off a couple of our others.

No Hogan isn't enough on his own... he's only part of the key forward equation we need going forward... I'd keep pick 2 & take Boyd if he's still there.

We need to go after the best mature Mids we can chase in free agency, & others who aren't yet free agents but out of contract this year...

.... we can look to trade some key forwards next year, after we see how our young ones are faring, & how Clark & Dawe are fitness wise. we may want to trade some of the older key players next year.... seriosly Clark may never be 100 percent again, & dawes has the hand issue.... we may be better off next year looking at one of those for trade, end of 2014...

... so if we pickup one $$$ high priced elite free agent this year, & we may be able to work a trade next year, for another.

I hope we look at Daisy, & the GWS kid this year.

We will lose because we are soft and crap. Sometimes there are many nuances...sometimes there aint.

Between bailey and prendergast, well, they totally destroyed our drafting. WE are dead in the water. And, as the saying goes, you are dead for a long time.

short-term memory... wee haven't drafted well or developed well since 1997...

unless I've been watching a different team in a parallel universe.

so if memeory allows cameron, corcoran, & daniher, & bruise free styled games led us to bailey & prenderghast.


In the past I was all for list management for the sake of picks. But no more. This club, more than picks, more than players, more than a coach, needs to learn to win.

Enough with losing already. Our culture is so weak, so gutless, no amount of draft picks will help us as long as the mindset is that of losers.

I hope we play to the very best of our ability from now until the end of the season. Picks will look after themselves.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.
