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.

    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.

    Melbourne in the mix for Prestia according to Talking Footy tonight.

    At the right price I'd tAke  him but we need to bring in guys that area willing to take a cut i.e like Geelong  hawthorn

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
