Love the fact he is confident to accept the challenge of playing his role to improve a team . Unlike some recently deeparted

    I don't have an issue if we hand over our second rounder (pick 22ish) for LaBamba.

    The bloke has played 200 games, All Australian, premiership player, consistent top 5 in the best and fairest.

    We traded a pick in the mid 20's for Vince and you could argue that the Prince's career has been of the equal to Vince, if not better.

    If only some others shut their mouths. Why you mad Bro?

    Have a problem with reading the entire post hey?

    Feel free to shut yours.

    Pick 23ish for him...

    Clark compo or nothing.

    Pick 23 is too much for Lumumba, Collingwood want it.

    I think we are waiting on a Clark trade.

    Lumumba is 28 next month, clearly has issues, and is an athlete before footballer - unlike Vince, who will play into his 30's.

    We won't give up 23, Roos isn't silly.

    I don't like the "he has issues" comments people are making about HL. Difference of opinion or communication style doesn't equal "issues".

    In any event, I do agree that pick 23 is too much but a pick in the 30s is about right.

    Didn't he take some time off to deal with some issues?

    He has issues, it is well documented. Has there been a season gone by where Lumumba hasn't put the attention on himself?

    I cannot recall one. Certainly Collingwood are fed up, they are moving him on anyway, so they have no bargaining power, they do not want this guy at their club regardless.

    Clark compo would be about right, like for like.

    Who wouldn't have issues playing for the Filth?

    Pick 23 is clear overs for Prince. He is gifted, but he ain't worth that.

    Geelong's pick 33 I'll be reasonably okay with.

    Would be nice if we could trade 2 or 3 in a Tyson-like trade and use 23 on Hugh Goddard if he could be so good as to slip that far.

    Correct Id really like to hang onto pick 23 as there will be a nice players that slides down to that pick.

    If we are talking about trading what we receive from Geelong, why not deal directly with Collingwood who would also like Mitch in their forward line? Mitch is still contracted on our list until after the trade period (31 October) so to a large extent we hold the cards in relation to HL, Mitch, the Cats and the Pies! Without satisfying us no deal gets done and Mitch and HL could each each find themselves in the PSD where we also hold all the cards!

    Confused. Deals done isn't it? Geelong pick 2 straight to Collingwood.

    He's nominated Geelong and discussions are now with Geelong. Shafting them at this point wouldn't bode well for any future dealings.

    If we can get the three way deal that suits all parties, Collingwood to a lesser extent, then I think that's the ideal outcome.

    The downside is Clark will likely avoid facing a Melbourne home crowd next season. He gets to weasel out. Again.

    the Nixon twitter is definitely him, the bloke is a nutter

    He had some nice things to say about Robbie, including that he played his first game on him

    Not wrong, mate of a mate has him as a facebook friend, and it just gets downright bizzare sometimes

    The Pies want to wipe their hands of Lamumba, Pick 23 is way overs

    The Pies are just being the Pies

    I agree...totally; and I think we are :)

    But I want more than pick 33 for Clark.

    Agree with this. I believe we could get 33 and another pick from Cats for MC with the second one going for Frost.

    That way we get HL and Frost for MC. It is not impossible as Cats are saying he could be a star for them. They have missed on Chip and we can force MC into the draft.

    If he went into the draft, he would get to 33.

    I think we've asked for Geelong's second and third rounders, to use on Lamumba and Frost.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
