From what i heard a while ago Cameron is most likely Crows bound. Dont know how but if its true surely it would involve Dangerfield moving on somewhere

Pick 2 to gws. Cameron to ctows. Danger to the dees.the old 3 way

 

What a ridiculous comment.

I stated that the trade you suggested (let's not pretend you have 'Intel' either) was massively swayed in Melbourne's favour.

It's got nothing to do with whether the Demons should go after him or not.

Now you're just getting on your high horse.

Go back a re-read and interpret what I stated regarding the exchange of later picks, I stated "- hopefully in our favour" that part is my bias desire NOT my belief on the eventual if any trade.

Higgins or Liam Jones anyone? Talking footy mentioned senior players at WB disgruntled with McCarthy.
 

Also mentioned fair chance Lumumba to the Dees as there hasn't been much interest from other clubs.

Higgins maybe, Jones no. Wouldn't want to give too much for Higgins either.


Rumor from facebook (so you know it's legit) Melbs pick 2 and 3rd rounder for GWS Cameron and Frost.

As strange as this sounds coming from a FB page, I can confirm this rumour.

I was informed a number of weeks ago by someone associated with the inner sanctum of the club that we were going hard after Jeremy Cameron and that it was sounding promising.

This was prior to/ around the time of the Dogs targeting Patton and then him going down with an ACL, so I'm not exactly sure where their intentions now lay or if that effects our chances of securing the in contract Cameron as the Dogs may now also be chasing him.

With regards to picks and what's involved I didn't and still don't know but it's blatantly obvious that if this was to eventuate our first pick would certainly be involved.

As for Frost I have heard nothing other than the associated newspaper article that we were looking at him to replace Frawley, so the trade proposed above makes sense and fits well with the murmurous I've heard.

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if it was more along the lines of our picks 2, 3 (if we get it), and 3rd rounder to GWS for Cameron, pick 4, and Frost. An exchange of later picks may also be involved - hopefully to our advantage.

if the Saints can recruit Jaksch or another tall marking forward, then they will draft Petracca with P-1.

.... the Giants want Petracca as do most teams. So the Saints not being able to get a trade happening for a tall forward, helps us Re our P-2 value.

We have to ensure we get Jaksch, as he seems the key to our value of P-2. force the Saints to use P-1 on a tall forward.

My ideal: >

Mitch Clark to the Blues for P-7....

P-2, P-22 & R Bail, to GWS Giants, for (Shiel, Jaksch & Frost)

we then have: Dylan Shiel, (Frawley compo), P-7, Christian Jaksch, P-22, Frost, etc,,,

Higgins maybe, Jones no. Wouldn't want to give too much for Higgins either.

Higgins seems destined for someone like Carlton or Richmond anyway. He suits their profile - soft, injury prone outside runner with decent skills.

Or Walker.

Freo are circling Frawley.

This could be very good for us if they drive his price up.

He is easily top band at $2.5m and at age 25. A bigger contract can not improve the compensation.

Griffen for pick 2 and pick back to us.

Now there's a great senior mid.

Has any club ever traded their captain? Unprecedented.

Has any club ever traded their captain? Unprecedented.

A club in desperate need of a key forward to compliment a young improving midfield. I think they have to if they want to move forward and Griffen is the only one with real currency unless they want to trade away Stringer or McCrae.

The other team that needs to bite the bullet is Richmond, would they trade Delidio. Again the only one with real currency, but they haven't got the courage to make tough decisions. Hardwick is too close to his players.

Carlton are too dumb so they won't trade Gibbs.

Freo don't want a kid so they will look for a quick fix, Frawley gives them an answer down back and if McPharlin plays on he could go forward or the current rumour is they will make a play for Waite.

edit; the Cats might want a shot at McCartin, especially if Frawley doesn't end up there. They would really need to come up with a good deal though, maybe someone like Duncan.

All supposition, but I like the Griffen one.


Can you someone please tell me we're going after Presita? :P

Clubs aren't dumb or gutless for refusing to trade their captains, best players, and 'heart and soul' club men.

is gibbs really any of those tho? lol

Then they will stay where they are and have no chance to win a flag in the current changing environment. You have to trade to get and you have to make the hard decisions.

It's a really unfortunate thing but the old idea of building a team and club on loyalty and jumper no longer exists . We have rapidly headed down the US path where it's more about the player than the club. This change has happened in the blink of an eye, the last major change like this happened when Barassi left Melbourne and professionalism started to creep into the game. We were slow on the uptake then, we can't be now.

I don't like this new football world at all, but because I don't like it, it doesn't mean it will go away. Bomber Thompson alluded to this last night on 360 and he's right on the money.

Ignoring Mitch Clark for a top 10 pick for the moment... Would be interested to see how you rate the individual pieces in the bolded trade. Personally I'd have Shiel as a top 5 pick + steak knives, Jaksch around his original draft position (mid teens) and Frost as a late 2nd to mid 3rd rounder (40-50ish). Would think Bails value is close to 0.


So far I have heard

Lumumba for Clark

Robinson for Blease

any others?

Doesn't Paul Roos have a no [censored] policy? don't think Robinson would fit in at the dees.. especially if Lumumba comes to the club. There is bound to be a clash between the two, probably because of robinson saying something stupid.

Can you someone please tell me we're going after Presita? :P

We had a really good go at him prior to his signing a 3 year extension. There was some interest from his manager. I'd say we'd be all over him next time he comes out of contract and would be some chance if our list improves and considering his family connections.

Higgins or Liam Jones anyone? Talking footy mentioned senior players at WB disgruntled with McCarthy.

I'd be interested in Jones to fill a role if we can't get anybody else this trade period, so long as we aren't paying too much for him.

I wonder what the Dogs would ask for...

 

Guys this is a potential trade thread not a "Toumpas is crap" thread.

Judd from WCE to Blues?

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
