Pick 16 and Butcher plus Moore would just about be overs for them.

They're only interested in players cos they're worried about players being suspended by asada.

 

essendon wanted chad wingard. dream on. port would never do that. even though port are getting a good player in ryder you wouldn't give up chad.

Port can play hard ball hope they do

 

I don't get the "I want out cos you breached your duty of care to me" but which is then follow by "I want the best deal possible for the Bummers" bit.

I'm obviously totally blinded by my hatred for them but if it was me I'd be getting out and doing it via the breach of care clause.


hope Paddy uses the clause to get the f out of there and leave them with no compensation

Injected with drugs by Essendon, who can not tell him what they were

Thats criminal, and every player their should walk and leave Essendope with nothing

They said Ryder for Shiel and Jacksch

oh my god...

 

Interesting that Ryder at first said he was unhappy with Bombers and wanted to go to Brisbane, to be close to his partner's family. He is on a contract. I am aware of the get out clause.

Now though, he is wanting to go further away from his partner's family, to a Premiership chance and probably for more money.

Wonder if Bomber fans see him as many on here see MC.

I'm sure they would but at least he does have a legitimate reason for getting out of the club.

I doubt more money.

This likely ties up Ports first pick and is good news for our hopes of landing Billy in the third round.

Good point.

yes, excellent point.

(although, in saying that, i'd prefer bombers continue with their 'wingard or wines' route and ryder uses the clause to walk for free just to screw the peptides!)

What if proposed Port trades ark up with concerns over player welfare at Essendon?

cant be news to them surely !!!

Mitch Clarke was heading west when we stepped in and secured his transfer to Melbourne from Brisbane.

While acknowledging Clarke didn't work out, might a chat to Ryder with pick three to Essendon work for all parties concerned if Patrick could be encouraged to consider Melbourne?

Ryder with Garlett and Kennedy- Harris might produce a little magic and the addition of Dawes, Hogan, Watts, Howe and Kent all together might form the basis of a forward line our mids would be happy to kick quickly to.

McCartin is a nice forward but not a long term game winner.

This leaves pick two for a nice mid being one of Brayshaw or Petracca.

Comments?

No.

I do not ever want to deal with Essendon. And this trade period just shows why.


No.

Too much baggage, maybe in the PSD pick 2.

No.

I'm fairly sure the dees wouldn't ask you to undertake the negotiations dazzler .

Three is way to high. I would be happy to give them a full set of steak knives (Blease, Tappy etc etc) and some late picks though as they are going to need players soon enough. The EFC NQRs

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
