If we throw in Strauss, maybe he, Blease and Tapscott will add up to Carlton's first round pick?! I'll settle for those three and our fifth round pick for their fourth rounder.

    Just one of the players and the fifth for their fourth. They'd be stupid to take a risk on all three - but then again this is the club that was laughing at us when they got Chris Johnson in the PSD.

    Why do crud players who are going to be delisted nominate a preferred club anyway? Surely you'd just go anywhere that would have you.

    I remember Peter Walsh putting in a similar request to Craig Cameron in the mid 00s - "I know I'm gone, if you could find me a new club I'd be grateful". The club obliged and traded him to Port, and moved up two places in the draft.

    and he went on to be a great player there.

    Because the club hasn't confirmed they will delist them.

    If all three of their exit interviews the club stated we will try and trade you. If it doesn't eventuate, we will reassess.

    What we have done in the past is delist players, only for other clubs to pick them up. Why not try and get something for them…..

    Because we aren't fooling anyone! I agree that it's worth a shot and why not be patient, but I think only Blease would have a tiny tiny amount of value and as he's out of contract he could eventually go the PSD and get to his destination anyway.

    Tapscott for a Jetta style rookying because the guy plays like he actually gives a damn. Even if he doesn't get a kick at least someone gets tackled or bumped and is sore the next day.

    That's not answering Nasher's question.

    It's one thing for Melbourne to say 'we're going to look to trade Tapscott' because, yes, otherwise we'd just delist him.

    It's another thing altogether for Tapscott to nominate his preferred club. Firstly, as Nasher said why would you pin all your hopes on one club? Why not say 'look, if it's not working out here I'd love to get another chance anywhere you can orchestrate a trade'. Secondly, what makes him think he has any power?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
