I really want Redden. Much more likely to land him then Hartlett.

His progression since being drafted has been terrific. Has the perfect mixture of zip and grunt that we need.

Please Todd n co. please.

Redden becomes the priority. 4 year deal gets us in the frame. Would fit in perfectly to our emerging midfield.

Howe swap for Redden is a win win.

I don't think that would get it done. I would do that trade in a heartbeat.

Redden and Bennell this trade period would be great. And a decent back up ruck/forward.

With Prestia to follow next year.

We'd then have an extremely strong list.

We should be able to get Jamie Bennell pretty cheaply. 4th round pick might get it done? :)

Could be another Jeff Garlett type deal for Bennell, Carlton didn't want Jeff anymore so we picked him up for effectively nothing.

Carlton received Pick 61 & 79

Melbourne received Jeff Garlett & Pick 83 (40 goals & 31 behinds.. Also the forward 50 pressure he provided)

Ron I'm not sure Prestia would go within 100 miles of Bennell

Howe + Grimes for Redden and their 3rd round

Howe + Garland for Redden and their 2d round

Offer Redden 4 yesrs.

We loose 2 pieces of dead wood. Their 2nd round pick could nab a handy player.

The fact you think they are dead wood would suggest Brisbane may also think the same....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Many on here rate the two.

Lions can pick from Garland/Grimes/Watts/Doors/Toumpas.

It's a bit like a hotbox at a servo with yesterday's pies in it.

I wonder if they'd take Dawes and a later pick, experienced premiership key forward to help young Schade as a chop out for a couple of years.

Not a big fan of the creeping lack of respect that has risen up about players of late.

Maybe we do it this odiously every year - I am just not a big fan TBH.

Don't see the need for it.

Im not a fan of the lack of respect shown to the jumper by those that wear it.

I'm not either 'rpfc', and we also get it too much during the season with terms like spud etc thrown about. We can discuss things and still be respectful of the players and others opinions.

This whole trade period now is heading in a way that doesn't sit well with me. I don't like players not fulfilling their contracts and I don't like how clubs don't show respect to the players. As for the media, I think they have had a big part in setting the agenda and a lot of the supporters have gone along for the ride.

The player movement thing is becoming bigger news than the game itself which is a real pity.

You're confusing a lack of respect with a lack of talent.

The lions are that desprate for talls they actually may consider Dawes

Dawesy should grab the opportunity with both hands.

I agree. My ignore list has tripled in the last few weeks to stop me spending all my time on here getting stuck into idiots like Al's Demons.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
