Highly unlikely Sydney would release Jones. Highly unlikely. Horse said after Zac's first game that they targeted him in the draft because they were in need of a young, hard running half back. We'd have to pay well overs to get him.

 

What if assuming we finish 16th and Chip leaves and we have picks 3 & 4 and say Saints and Lions are below us who need talls. Would you take 2 young mids like Brayshaw and Petracca or try for a Salem/Tyson deal with the extra pick.

I could see the Swans being prepared to swap Mitchell and say Jones for pick 4.They have a great midfield, another youngster in Heaney coming and then say pick 4. They would win not lose.

WE WILL FINISH 18TH I BELIEVE!

pick 4 for mitchell and zac jones ... yes

or

pick 24 for mitchell ... yes

3 year deal on $300,000 per year. Swans could not beat that.

Zac Jones has played how many games??

 

Have you seen Zac Jones play. As good as any top 10 pick from last year. Also getting a game in a team that has won 11 straight and is equal premiership favorite.

Oh please give me a break.. being as good as any top 10?.. Billings, Bontempelli, Aish, Mcdonald, Koladashnji, Kelly and Salem will all have a good argue point.

He has played 3 games with one being a sub and the other getting concussed at the start of last week.

Overeacting much..

LOL

Zac Jones has not looked as good as Bontempelli, Kelly, Billings, Salem, Kolojashni, Aish, we haven't seen Scharenberg or Freeman and Boyd looks classy but can't get a look in

Jones looks solid but it's not correct imo to say he has been anything like as impressive as some of the above boys, go back and watch the game when Salem kicked a couple of goals and had 18 touches or whatever, every possession oozed class.

Highly doubt Syd would throw in Jones, for nothing else than he's in a position where they'll be potentially lacking in a couple of years as their players retire (as McVeigh, Shaw, Malckeski etc get towards the end).

If we we're to off something like pick 4 for Mitchell and needed steak knives I'd suggest it might be someone like Tim Membrey, a young forward who is way down the pecking order and might want out for greater opportunity's.

Tom Mitchell for our second rounder and Sam Blease

“Tom Mitchell used to live with (Melbourne coach Paul) Roos and he can’t get a game with the Swans at the moment. Could the Dees do an exchange with Frawley?” Sheahan posed.

Is Tom Mitchell as valuable as Frawley or the Compo pick? probably not imo

does Frawley want to play for Sydney/can Sydney afford him? surely they can't...

why would Sydney give up Mitchell for a bloke they could pick up for nothing

Tom Mitchell for our second rounder and Sam Blease

Delusional.... The only way a club could get Mitchell would be a with a top 10 pick, if not top 5.

As for Blease he is of next to no value and if anything clog the trade.

I couldn't work out why Sheahan raised this. Chip is a Free Agent, he can go wherever he likes. A team getting him doesn't have to do a deal to get him he can just walk to them.

no way i'd give up compo! its one step forward 2 steps back from that flag. essentially Sydney get frawley and say pick 5 for mitchell! so they get a ready made gun FB and then another star mid to come in once mcveigh goes. We set them up for now and the future. Don't be silly people!

I think the AFL community will riot if Sydney are able to land Frawley as well.

I can't see any reason the Swans would do that when they could get a FA for free and then get a pick for a player they traded.

I would imagine Chip would be looking to play in that ugly brown and yellow jumper, or the one with blue and white hoops. Both will need a full back soon. If he fancied a hotter climate, that purple jumper may appeal.

We should offer Mitchell a big fat contract and bend the Swans over to accepting a second round pick or lose him for nothing in the PSD.

Thats the stuff... get aggressive Demons


We will have to wait and see if Roos actually has any interest in getting Mitchell. I also struggle to understand how he can be worth a top 5 pick. Hard for a club to argue that sort of value for someone not in their best 22.

Tom Mitchell is easily worth a top 5 pick.

He'd be our second best midfielder.

Still think Frawley will end up at Fremantle.

 

I think Gold Coast.

It's like Mike forgot Chip was an UFA - it's not like the dal Santo dear last year where he had a year to run on his contract and Saints decided to trade before he became an UFA.

Still think Frawley will end up at Fremantle.

Bang, I agree he will end up at the dockers next year, Col being there will be the difference in the end imo

i'd like to see the compo go down a similar pick and player for high pick deal, maybe we could snag O'Rourke and Mitchell that way and add a couple of young and serious talents to our list, but also more depth, when you factor in Trengove also coming back that adds another three quality midfielders and Hogan to give us more fire power

this would also then give us the ability to draft Petracca who to me looks a legitimate superstar in the making, Roosy loves the tall, solid mids and Petracca has that but he also has the ability to break games open and drag his team over the line!

exciting times

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

  • 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 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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.

  • 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?
