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.

  • Quote

    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.

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

    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

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
