  • Happy with Clark and Lumumba deal
  • Lumumba halfback and midfield
  • No experienced players coming in
  • Looking to get Frost by tomorrow or PSD
  • News on pick 2 and 3 - nothing happening - going to the draft
  • Trengove diagnosis - Richmond's medical team not ours.
  • Lyons (Adelaide) Hunt (Geelong) - no
  • Clark and Frawley douchebags **

Bring on Petracca and Brayshaw. (Saints will surely go with a tall?) Develop them properly and watch them become stars. The times have changed.

With improvement next year, we can go hard at Danger and any other FA without having to give up picks.

Happy camper.

Think positive - Brayshaw will come ready to go - think Wines.

Geez I haven't heard that "ready to go" comment before.

Something different for us isn't it?

Watts, Trengove, Scully or Toumpas weren't ready to go, so I'm looking forward to it.

"Everyone is tradeable" my ass.

We traded one player, the best forward on our list. Woo [censored] hoo

Clealry the blokes we are happy to trade are unwanted, as are most from other clubs.


Another trade period another year with half a midfield.

All i'm going to say is thank god for Richmond's medical! How much longer would have his foot gone undiagnosed if it was just left up to us?????

So advice to StKlida is - don't go with the best player in the draft - draft to needs ?

I get that we couldn't do anything with 2 and 3 but what is going to happen with 23 surely we would prefer someone ready made than go to the draft with that?

Haha it's a joke isn't it mate.

This is the problem when you have an under-performing playing list.

Really what do people think we would get for a Watts or similar? If we don't value them chances are the rest of the competition, (whose baseline player is vastly better than ours) won't either.

There is no easy answer unfortunately. Our young players just must improve, and we must nail the draft.

We have done as well as we could in the trade period. Lumumba will be close to our best player next season and Garlett potentially fills a hole that we have had for years.

The midfield simply must be improved from within if we are to be a competitive unit in 2015.

EDIT: in terms of clarity and grammar...possibly my worst post ever

We should hope that Saints keep 1 as they might not take Petracca, GWS would.


So where does this leave Sam Belase?

Delisted, or do we go again?

What's his Contract status?

The deal didn't get signed off. Mahoney has been booked in to go on SEN for 5 days, hoping to make an announcement. Looks like the deal didn't get sorted. I will always back my source in, but apologies.

I was right about Frawley and Vince well in advance, 2/3 isn't too bad.

Yes. If they were considering trading away their pick to GWS for Petracca, then nothing is certain that they'll take him.

He gets traded tomorrow if not he will be delisted

Yes but you might add the best two mids in the draft plus Billy. HL and Garlett could also have bursts in the middle and Salem, Toumpas, JKH, Kent and Barry to improve hopefully.

Hmmm. Good luck with that.

You seem genuine mate, so good on ya for sticking your head out!

cudo's for having the cojones to come back on here.

Let the spanking begin....

 

Lots of people crying foul about us not trading enough.. at the end of the day, you can only trade if the other teams/players are at the table.

Or if you put in the leg work during the year to set things up and have multiple contingency plans in place.

I get that we couldn't do anything with 2 and 3 but what is going to happen with 23 surely we would prefer someone ready made than go to the draft with that?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
