Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]

Featured Replies

Unlikely, Balme said last night that we agreed to terms with Geelong last week, so it's essentially always been Clark for their second rounder. The only change that happened when it went to a 3 way trade was Geelong offering Colonwood Varcoe instead of a second rounder.

If they coughed up their third rounder as well and we got the Frost trade across the line today I'd be ecstatic.

So would I.

What pick do we trade for that?

There's definitely something wrong with the Trade Week structure if a mediocre player like Travis Varcoe can single handedly hold up proceedings. Is that what is happening here?

finally, something is happening...

I am still confused why the Collingwood/Brisbane (working out the Beams trade) has impacted on the Clark, Lumumba and Varcoe bit... unless there are other minor trades/upgrade of picks involved. Why did it need to be a 5 way trade ?

Apparently because Collingwood demanded it, despite our vocal intentions to do the Clark deal seperately.

Does anyone else think we should make a play for Membry?

A play like that with pick 23 could force the Saints into the draft without many forward options (especially if Stanly is traded to the Cattery).

It may make them go for one of the big forwards in this draft (McCartin or Wright) leaving Brayshaw and Petracca?


Not

Not unless we have Frost locked up before the PSD, because they'd take him instead of Membrey with their first pick.

He's nominated St Kilda so he'll get there. No point in making a play for him.

How long does it take to make a deal with Collingwood? Probably as long as it takes the average Collingwood supporter to work out a basic math problem.

so... a deliberate ploy to hold up other trades in case they get left out of the loop.... then yeah it's a joke. the other clubs should be filthy with the pies.

Everyone getting a lesson in trade 101: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH COLLINGWOOD.

The amount of bridges they are burning by dragging out this process is staggering. Hopefully clubs don't have short memories with this stuff.

lol, our receptionist is a Collingwood supporter and 3 weeks ago I walked into the office and I hear.... "yeah, 25 + 46 = 86"

Great, day 8 of 8.5 and we've secured our second trade.

No closer on securing Frost though.


Wouldn't we just take him in the PSD?

All it takes is another club to offer him a better contract and offer GWS any draft pick and he could easily get nabbed from under our nose.

Doing nothing in the hope he'll just slide to the PSD has its fair share of risks.

DONE DEAL: Mitch Clark to Geelong, Heritier Lumumba to Melbourne and Travis Varcoe to Collingwood mfcde.es/1o9EcBF

Makes you wonder what all the fuss was about. Maybe Varcoe's first impression of FIGJAM was the hold-up.

All it takes is another club offering him a better contract and GWS any draft pick and he could easily get taken by another club.

The PSD has its fair share of risks.

I don't think anyone this late in trade will coff up a pick for him. Mahoney has even said we could take him in the PSD. Therefore, Saints are our only competitor.

 

[censored] you Clark!

I've never stopped loving someone so quickly. Hope you never experience any success you coward.

Clark in a Geelong jumper makes me sick to my stomach.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
