That is the exact reaction I had. Something doesn't feel right about it, but I can't put my finger on it yet.
 

Noooo Way!

Roos has said he doesn't want more than a few kids in the draft so why would he want another pick!! Give up an experienced player for another 'kid'. You would think we have enough trade power with 2 and 3 to get an experienced player.

Can't see any logic to it all!

Know doubt we have something in mind to use pick 12 with something else to get another trade done. If it was used as part of another pick to get someone like Shiel / Treloar, would you take it?

The ONLY thing that comes to mind is that we have something else cooking and we want another first round pick to get the ball rolling on that other deal. To me the deal as a whole doesn't serve any other purpose.
 

What? On the face of it this seems ludicrous. For pick 12 maybe, but this is a number 2 draft pick that we've put 5 years of development into and who undoubtedly has his best footy ahead of him.

I can only think that there's something else in play here. Either his foot injury is much worse than we think, or there's another player we're targeting that we need pick 12 for. According to the article it's not like he's requested the trade either.


WTF

There must be a player we REALLY want and need pick 12 to make the trade happen? Otherwise makes no sense

I'd say there is something brewing that requires two first rounders but we want to hold on to one as well.

Never would we do it.

Not Puzzles surely.

Worst trade ever. If we do this I'd be furious. A terrible terrible trade. I'm speechless


Surely there is more to the deal than what is being proposed.

Unless this is part of some elaborate and secretive three-way trade intended to snare Dangerfield, I call BS.

I hope BS.

Trengove NEEDS a pre-season. He NEEDS to be injury free. And he NEEDS to play under Roos for us to see him shine.

why would we throw in pick 23?

If they want him then its pick 12 for Trenners

Simple

Really don't like the look of this. Jack Trengrove showed us loyalty when he initially signed on for three years. Unless he wants to leave I think it would be good if we showed our players loyalty back


Jack needs a fair run at proving what he can do - without captaincy, without injury!! Please keep him Roosy!

Know doubt we have something in mind to use pick 12 with something else to get another trade done. If it was used as part of another pick to get someone like Shiel / Treloar, would you take it?

I would give P-2 & P-12 for Shiel & say Devon Smith, but I don't see the getting rid of Trenners as the way forward. I don't like this bit.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
