nah but it would be a Goodwin initiative, which the rest will probably follow as to not undermine the future boss

    Did we offer both picks? If so, I'm glad it didn't pan out. I wouldn't even trade Brayshaw on his own for Danger.

    Yeah we did..Very happy the trade didn't go through. Can't wait to see Petracca out there alongside Brayshaw.

    It is around Schwab levels, I won't deny this, but I'm in good company here.

    No coach would want to be surrounded by sycophants and yes-men, nor would an assistant last if this were his M.O.

    Isn't it? Because at that time Melbourne were offering picks 2 and 3 lol.. It's not about what Adelaide want to settle for, Dangerfield has to agree to be traded to the club and unfortunately the way it's going it's Geelong or nothing. We are offering Adelaide pick 6 this year and 1st round next year, Adelaide are all over that but Dangerfield isn't accepting a trade to Melbourne.

    It was an off the cuff comment. Pick 1 in any draft is better than a compo pick around the 13/14 mark.

    SS is a scrubber.

    a very good cultured, & DNA scrubber... & he would walk into our current team.

    It wont just be Goodwin it will be a group decision. Do you think Goodwin could just overrule the opinion of the rest of the footy staff?

    & it won't be just a milkman, it'll be a baker & a candlestick maker, were after. the milkman will be just a small part of our bigger ambitions.

    For whatever it's worth, mentioned on BF by a GWS supporter that Tom Bugg is a lock to come to us.

    Made me giggle... thought id post the appreciation

    No a graders as we'd hope for (hopefully yet) but handy additions in their own right... Well time will tell... Surely an upgrade on a few we have now though

    Ideally, yes. But I'm suspicious that Carlton's most recently departed coach might have operated that way.

    Richmond are in an interesting space for us. They think they're close to being a contender and will therefore sacrifice high picks for ready made players that fill their perceived weaknesses.

    So maybe there's an opportunity for us with Tyson to Tigers...

    They have picks 12, 31, 49... and players? what would be acceptable for Dom?

    Considering our needs at the moment and the deficiencies that still plague the midfield, Dom is one of our almost untouchable players. He will still be a gun - the guy is only 21.

    Really? Brad Green doesn't strike me as that kind of fellow.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
