Ok I must be the only one that thinks Dalhouse trade is silly? Is a small 174cm small forward/midfielder really what we are desperately after that we have to drop from pick 3 to 6.

Dazzzle, he is 178 cm and he had 40 scoring shot this season which comfortably puts him ahead of anyone at the MFC

Averaged almost 22 touches too, hes not a forward hes a midfielder that hits the scoreboard which is what we are crying out for

Pick 3 for Dalhaus and 6 would be a steal, but i doubt wed be able to poll it off

Dalhaus is in his way to being a gun. I would be amazed if we could pull off 3 for dalhaus + 6.

He has a very similar game to Cyril, but can now go through the guts and collects more possessions than rioli, just lacks the explosiveness of rioli, but so does everyone

Would make a great duo with JkH

Good player but we are still crying out for more midfielders. Mitch Wallis would be my target. Impressive junior career like Dom Tyson who was overtaken by Jack Mcrea.

Tough inside 185cm midfielder with great disposal and strong leadership credentials. Like Tyson he would boost our midfield significantly.

Only 21 years old.

I agree, but with the family connection, I can't see them letting Wallis go.

Griffen

That's who I'd go for too.

I've had a hunch since last week we might actually be targeting him.

If you recall, last year, all the talk was about Shiel, then about Bugg & Buntine.

Barely anyone spoke about Tyson seriously until it was almost done.

I think the dogs feel they have their future midfield in place, and Griffen won't be central to that.

They need to give up something valuable to ensure they get the KPF they NEED.

I think straight swap - Griffen for pick 2 or 3.

And there have been rumblings of the senior players unhappy with McCartney.

Why? He's ready to move them on? Giving their minutes to kids?

Maybe shipping out a highly valued teammate..?

And just this evening news comes out that the board has investigated & backed McCartney.

So you'd assume they're backing whatever he has planned.

But this is how rumours start...

And if we've already brought in Griffen with pick 3...

Who says we couldn't then entice Dangerfield with pick 2 & Toumpas..?

Frawley by choosing an instant premiership rather than big money, ruining our compo?

Griffen is 28, no way we are giving pick 3 for him

If we get 6 back we will in a heartbeat. 3 pick downgrade easily worth it.

ok, gotcha

would be nice

And ironically with pick 3 out of the equation Brayshaw is more likely to be there at pick 5 depending on what happens with the Beams and GWS pick 1 trades. In all likelihood the new order could become:

Pick 1. GWS Petracca

Pick 2. Bulldogs McCartin or Wright

Pick 3. Saints McCartin or Wright

Pick 4. Brisbane or Collingwood ???

Pick 5. Melbourne Brayshaw

We'd need to sweeten our Lamumba trade as incentive for Colonwood to pass on Brayshaw.

I'm not sure on Griffen's body 28 with back issues, alarm bells for mine, Peter Gordon returns from holidays early next week, expect some movements then at the kennell

I still reckon 28 with dodgy back and body slowing down isn't a good trade re Griffen

We still need to top up our midfield with up and coming talent and thats where Mitch Wallis comes in.

I didn't realise Griffen was 28, will be 29 next season.

What we really need is to pick up players in that 22 to 25 yo age group. The lost years...Blease, Strauss, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Clark (he cost us a good pick in that age group) etc.

Know he is small in stature but if i knew we were getting Brayshaw still i would seriously think about doing-

Nathan Hrovat and Pick 5/6 for Pick 3

Posted

Just said on sen prob get pick 33 for MC.

That's pretty crap imo.

Should any of us be surprised!

Pretty crap is an understatement!

Very frustrating...when he's playing I rate him as one of the top 5 FFs in the game, AND he's got the ability to dominate in the ruck as well. I would not be at all surprised to see him become and All Australian at Geelong.

Typical..

Dayne Beams wants to go home to his sick father and Collingwood playing absolute hare ball and stiff refusing pick 4.

Mitch Clark leaves after all the investment, money, faith and medical we have put into him and we are just happy to accept pick 33

FFS grow some balls MFC!!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
