Driving Lumumba's price up also drives up the asking price for Beams. This is pie-o-nomics 101. They want more than a first rounder for beams and will play hardball at the trade table.

We need to tempt them with Geelong's pick #33 if it come our way. Maybe we do that and swap a 4th round for a 6th round to sweeten the deal for them.

Amazing amount of bile here for someone who wanted to take a moral stance about material that was clearly anti-gay. Just because you complain about such discrimination doesn't make you a 'nutter', 'sc

Buckley wants him out of the club. There are no other takers. He has a 1 year contract left with the Pies.

We are in a strong position to deal.

Agreed, though that won't necessarily translate to Collingwood not being silly at the trade table.

This is a really interesting scenario. Given that our fall back position is "f... you! keep him and sort it yourselves"!

You would think that we have the filth at our mercy.

At the very least, if the deal goes ahead, there should be no suggestion that we have paid "overs".

Mahoney said on SEN this morning that their belief is that Lamumba's value lies somewhere between a 2nd and 3rd round draft pick. I was relieved to hear this as a straight swap for our 2nd pick is overs - we need something else back.

Given that we hopefully won't have a 3rd round pick if Stretch gets through, one scenario might be:

Melbourne's 2nd and 4th Round Picks (approx 22 and 58) for Lamumba and Collingwood's 3rd Round Pick (Approx 42).

Mahoney also confirmed that we are reasonably confident of being able to secure one of or both of Sam Frost and Daniel Merrett. Perhaps that pick 42 would then be enough for one of those.

Collingwood's 3rd rounder at this stage is 45 and it will likely go out further after compo. Which is probably fair enough for Frost.

I'd still rather give them a lower pick to start with. We need 22 at the draft table. Let's see what Mitch Clark fetches. We can always swap them 22 for 28, it at least keeps us a top 30 pick.

I reckon we should get this bloke called Harry O'Brien instead

Yeah, Harry O looks as though he has a little bite in him, not sure about Lumumba. Maybe we can give collingwood our second round for both player.. :)

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
