Not to mention that he breaks games apart. This is definitely a player we need. May rub off on others?

    2 and 3 are way overs for Danger. He is a game breaker yes.. but he is 25 years old who isn't exactly got a fully fit body atm. We will be lucky to get 5 years out of him.

    Either save one pick for a Brayshaw/Petracca Deal with GWS for a Shiel or Trelor. These guys atleast will be 10 year players.

    If pick 2 and 3 go to Danger I will be very annoyed.

    By my calculation, Dangerfield has missed 6 games in the last 6 years. The least number of games he's played in that time is 19, and he's played every game 3 out of 6 years, including this year. That hardly seems like a broken down, dilapidated old body.

    He's 24 years old and flying in every sense. If you reckon a bloke who's hardly missed a game since he started is showing signs of being a broken down old has-been by the time he's 29, you've got a very different take on things to me.

    Very vicious...

    Unlike our midfield which has been pretty viscous, not vicious :-(

    Pays to do 15 seconds of research sometimes...

    Can't believe people wouldn't do this deal if it's 2+3 for danger and adelaides pick I couldn't sign fast enough he is a star, let's be honest we haven't had a good run with early picks so to get a proven star yes please

    Dangerfield for Pick 2 & 3 doesn't smell like a Paul Roos kind of deal to me.

    Don't disregard Roos' agenda here - his ego wants to be the guy that saved Melbourne. It hasn't worked so well just yet. He knows a big move like this could see us in the finals next year, and his mission complete. Some coaches go for the big player steal to 'top up' for a premiership.. for us it is making finals. What does Roos care about pick 2+3 he will be long gone before they are of any use.

    What?

    I'd give a lot to get Dangerfield at the club but not picks 2 & 3. Pick 2 and a player (Toump) and maybe a swapping of later picks will hopefully be enough. I'd love to take pick 3 into the draft and take Brayshaw.

    It is absolutely ridiculous to say that Roos is only concerned about things that will affect the club while he is coach. Roos was brought in to drive culture change and build an environment capable of producing sustained success. That's the whole premise of the succession plan - and Roos was never going to be around for said success. Paying overs for a superstar simply to make himself look better is the antithesis of everything Paul Roos stands for.

    We haven't had a good run with early picks until PRoos on the scene. He and the club won't do that deal, but they will try to do their best with one of our early picks for him. I still see 3 (if we get it) plus Toumpas and Trengove for Danger plus later pick

    In other words: forget the trade that is looking viable, and go after one you have no hope of pulling off.

    I think people forget that in most cases you still have to trade for a player. Throwing money at them doesn't mean much if their club isn't willing to trade them.

    I tend to agree.

    Every club website is thinking there getting danger the hardest thing for Melbourne is convincing danger we're going to change as a club after 8 years of rot

    If, and it's a big if, we were actually in the running for Danger and the Crows wanted two first rounders - I could see us doing a Tyson type trade where Pick 3 becomes, for example, Pick 9-10-11 with a player of value also coming back our way. Then we trade Pick 2 and, say, Pick 10 for Dangerfield while also still having netted another good young player from the earlier trade. I'd be more comfortable with that.

    Yeah, Dangerfield for picks 2 & 3 worries me. Dangerfield and pick 10 for picks 2 & 3 doesn't. We get a chance to bring in two guys, for two picks, one of them is a game breaking A grader, the likes we haven't seen since Lyon or even Flower.

    If when it's all said and done we shifted 2,3, toumpas/trengove for danger and shiel...I'd be over the moon. 1st trade: get player and pick, 2nd trade: move the pick with the other stuff

    It's dreaming, but if we could somehow convince Shiel to join on an overinflated long term contract for a trade of pick 10 received in an Adelaide trade, we'd be laughing. And we'd have a midfield all of a sudden.

    Would prefer Danger plus pick 10 for our pick 3 (hopefully) plus pick 20ish (pp compo) and J toumpas

    For Christmas sake boys It aint gunna happen, get over it, Dangerfield will not be coming to Melbourne!! You guys are in "Fantasy" Land!

    Stop torturing yourselves!!

    And unless Trengove is somehow involved in the trade, he should be injured less. ;)

    Demonlanders are getting too precious about these top picks. It's one of the reasons I never got attached to any of this year's U18's crop. I thought there was a good chance we'd be trading whatever top picks we received. I would if I was on the MFC recruiting team and I have an idea Roos would too.

    I suppose, but at least there's some basis of plausibility with the fact that Dangerfield is a FA next year, so Adelaide's hands could be somewhat forced. There's absolutely no way in hell Sydney will let Parker go or be amenable to a trade. They'll tell us to get stuffed.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag.

On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
