I'd be disappointed if we didn't try and get him to plug a gap for a couple of years at the right price.

At this time of year you have highlighted the rather large problem

- try and get him him

- at the right price

    How do we go from Mahoney saying " we're confident that trade will happen " to being disinterested? Money? Brisbane's demands? I can't see any reasons why we wouldn't want a guy like Merrett, so if we've lost interest something has clearly gone very wrong.

    I mean, we're taking types like Garlett and Lamumba, renowned for their off field antics. Has a better player come into the equation that we're putting our energy into?

    It just flies in the face of everything Roos said over the last half of the season. We don't seem to be doing anything despite his ruminations of drastically cleaning up this list.

    It's probably because Frost wants to come to us and one key back is all we have targeted.

    Did Mahoney say that? When?

    I don't remember that.

    I thought he said that about Lumumba.

    I don't think so. It sounds like we've been into Frost a while and probably handshook on it prior to trade period. Merrett seems like a slightly newer proposition. I'd say something else has entered the fray. Further, I think the fact we were ever interested in Merrett discounts the unlikely possibility we offered Cameron a contract.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
