AFL Draft, Trade, Free Agency, List and General News

Shane Savage has announced that he has chosen Carlton as his club of preference to be traded to. It's understood pick 28 that the blues acquired for the Shaun Hampson trade will get the deal done.
Don't know how reliable but not surprised really.

Rage.... Missed opportunity

 

bugger

Actually.. thats a facebook page.

Wait until a quote


so ??

Michie most likely will go for a 3rd rounder. Savage will probably need something a bit better and As previously suggested Id happily hand over the Sylvia pick. After all youre then only effectively swapping Col for Shane.!! Wish we could have done that a few seasons ago :rolleyes:

If we stop thinking in terms of picks's valued being what everyone else suggests they are and look to the trading purely from a needs basis and deal accordingly we can be a very effective player. In reality picks are only what you want them to be.

Michie, Savage, Cross...all getable . Sewell would be serious icing, not impossible !!

My thoughts here are governed by the idea that this EOS other than maximising the value of pick 2 our real and prioity need is to bolster the miidfield. Its not a requirement ( absolute) to bolster further more our stocks of kids. We have years to do that and we still have some banked.

Lets use this year to somehow forge something that resembles a AFL team.Do that first,refine and finesse it later

We still need to add minimum 3 kids to the list (or upgrade rookies).

We don't have many rookie candidates beyond Clisby, and I'd rather not be using pick 76 in what is a terminally shallow draft.

It's about balance, and I think we have to be careful.

We can't find room for Cross, Sewell, Michie, Savage, Myers, Shiel and Bugg.

Not without delisting more players, and I'm not sure who's left that is OOC.

Highly unlikely to get all of Cross, Sewell, Michie, Savage, Myers, Shiel and Bugg.

Its only a missed opportunity if we were actually in the hunt in the first place.

 

No one is going to nominate Melbourne as their preferred club.

What ever happenned to players not getting a choice in where they were offloaded to.

Seem like the players have all the power these days.

Bring back the meat market.

Has chosen carlton as his club of choice

This makes no sense to me. Carlton also have a strong midfield and he won't be much better off than at Hawks, particularly as they have just picked up Daisy

If Shane was a KPP then the Blues would be a good destination for him. It is also difficult to see them taking the next step to GF participation

He could end up at a middle of the road club getting limited game time.


Im wondering how much would pivot on the Scums ability to offload others though

Highly unlikely to get all of Cross, Sewell, Michie, Savage, Myers, Shiel and Bugg.

Yes, thankyou, I am aware of that.

Still, we don't want to be trading away all of our early picks.

We'd still like a half-decent opportunity for an influx of worthwhile talent, since some still have to come in.

who is.. still have pick 2 and our original 2nd rnd pick !!

hardly small change ?

Cross is a freebie.

I can only imagine the $ has played a key part in his decision if this is true.

Doesn't make sense to me but then again I'm not in the know....

Even that makes no sense as Scum are unloading big time as they have salary cap headaches already. I can't see how they can offer overs to Savage !! if that was the thinking

Good point.

I'm at a loss...

Good point.

I'm at a loss...

its odd for sure.. is it Mickey just want to hog all the lollies ? lol

Daisy will have cost a packet and they havent exactly moved on many costing much. Like yourself McQ...Its got me stuffed.

Must have opened another box of brown bags !! :rolleyes:

Facebook rumours belong in the rumour mill... Don't post 'gospel' from any of the facebook groups, they are run by no names...

Give us a quote, then we can say he wants to go to the blues...

yep, nothng about SS on the main media sources


We can offer 22 assuming we get it as compo for Sylvia.

Better than 28 from the Blues.

Still frustrating that we're not a good destination though.

far from signed, sealed or delivered yet

Scum have no money room currently

still makes it hard :unsure:

Has chosen carlton as his club of choice

He's not a free agent, he doesn't get to nominate a club to go to. If we offer better to the Hawks than pick 28, they are 100% within their rights to deal with us. He's expressed a preference, but nobody is in any way bound to listen to him.

They're in the process of screwing over Brisbane to get Longer and have happily mentioned in the media that they are Longer's nominated club. It would probably be in their interests to get Savage to his nominated club.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
