Although this deal may leave some a little cold, people just need to chill out bit.

    Maybe we knew Saints were taking him if we didnt get a deal done now.

    Either way, St.Kilda and GWS are way better poker players' than we are.

    "otherwise we will use the PSD to get him". Why is it that this club loves to talk the talk, but never walk the walk.

    If we were that desperate to trade 23 for Frost, we must have Dangerfield lined up for our PSD pick.

    I got that feeling too.

    I also think this draft is a bit shallow.

    Outside the top 3 or 4, and then again outside the top 20 or so.

    Nobody seemed to want it in other trades, and we were giving up Trengove just to move forward 11 spots to 12, so there must have been some significant gap between the talent there.

    Cest la vie.

    I think after no big trades coming to fruition, we really couldn't risk losing out on Frost also.

    St Kilda trading out Stanley made an opening for just his type, and I rate Frost much higher than Membrey.

    I really don't get the need for this deal.

    He was gonna be a free pick up in the PSD, instead we trade pick 23 for him and picks we won't use.

    So confusing.

    We got screwed ..... again. I wish this club would collectively grow some testicles. What do we think we will get for pick 53?

    And do what exactly?

    His brother had a really good year for the Pies. That's the extent of my knowledge.

    [censored] poor finish to a carp trade period. There goes any chance of getting Nakia Cockatoo with a slider.

    Mahoney just said there was some interest in Frost from St Kilda.

    Said the trade allows him to come in straight away and start day one of pre-season rather than waiting the extra month. Said that is crucial for a developing player.

    Also mentioned that Stretch could have gone mid-20's so it is all about the 'net effect' and we've brought in the players we want to bring in.

    There's no point screwing GWS when we are going to want to deal with them for the next few years as their kids keep coming home.

    Using this method the higher the number the more chance of success.

    Recruiters call it "Prendergasting" or "going the Barry".

    Stkilda confirmed they had some interest in Frost if we didn't get the deal done. I feel slightly better.

    We have had more success with our later draft picks than our early one - sad but true

    St Kilda presser. They would've looked at Sam Frost if MFC couldn't get it done.

    But will now look at Tim Membrey with PSD.

    We blinked

    It was a bluff (they want Membrey)...we fell for it!!

    St Kilda were a real chance of taking Frost especially given thru traded Stsnley out. It also gives Melbourne a chance to have a pick in the PSD not already committed to Frost. We may already have an eye on someone.

    That's just a throwaway line to keep supporters happy, but we've cut through his bs in 2 seconds flat.

    As for this 'net gain' ideology, LOL. If we were in such a good position to land Stretch with our 3rd round pick, you don't just go ahead and reduce the hand you're dealt and hide behind 'net effect'. You exploit it and press the advantage as hard as you can

    Who says we won't use them.

    Yep. Sure MFC would've taken Stretch at 23 and happy to trade Frost at 30ish so net effect is the same.

    But that's not how it happened. Stretch was taken in the third round. Pick 23 has value. Christensen went for 21

    • 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.
