Can we? I read somewhere that you can't trade them 2 years in a row. I'm pretty sure it was a supporter comment somewhere though, been wondering if it's true or not. 

Can trade 2 in 3 years

    It will catch up and trip some teams up this futures trading. I think we're on top of this.

    even better, because we had 2 first rounders this year we can trade 3 in 3 years

    Not sure. I believe it works you can only trade 1st rounders 2 out of 3years as a rolling condition. So in the3rd year you can't. Not how many...how often .

    nope. the rule just states the min no of first round picks you must use (as in draft) in a rolling 3 year period

    Sam Day's rumoured to be leaving? I hadn't heard that. But you could add David Swallow to the list of potential outs too. Big problems up there.

    Wonder if Day could be a KPD target?

    Seb Tape was one out of the box at the time, and was given early games but has fallen off the map so much I forgot he existed.

    Not sure that it was a draft blessed with great depth though.

    hawks are after whitfield too, fwiw.

    So they should be, and they're after everyone aren't they?

    So should we be. Hard.

    The missing ingredient: hard running classy rangey wingman who can win his own footy.

    I would normally agree but with the bones there a punt on O'meara could be one worth taking. 

    I personally rate him very highly.  A clear run could see him as the best player in the comp.

    I'd rather Luke Oliver than Prestia .

    Would love a whitfield or josh kelly type. That along with a good kpd would round us off nicely

    A horse trainer. Maybe he thinks Prestia will make a good jockey.

    We already have Oliver... you don't have to choose between them.

    Why wouldn't you have both if given the chance?

    Good to hear. Prestia would be crazy to stay at that shambles of a club while the club he passionately supported as a kid is on the rise big time.

    Jump on and enjoy the ride Dion.

    It's round 7. He had a clean up op on his knee late in the pre season. He should be well and truly back on the park in full training and possibly playing by the end of the year. That's a long time away. If he is great, if he isn't move on.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
