Has skill and pace, but I doubt that the club would want to reunite two of the three amigos, so it's very unlikely he will be at the Dees.

Someone on here posted a Yarran highlight reel a while back that was breathtaking. The problem with him though is that his good is as good as you'll see but it doesn't happen often or consistently enough.

It would come down to what you would have to pay for him and given Carlton has been watching its discards tearing up the comp lately you would imagine he wouldn't come cheap

Officially gone from the Blues. Not surprising news really.

Tigers lead the race for him, although they are trying to talk up a possible move back to WA as well.

Doesn't seem we have any interest at all in him.

I seem to remember that Garlett's request to be traded to Melbourne took most by surprise last year. I'm trying to take all rumours with a grain of salt and looking forward to seeing what the football department surprises us with in the next few weeks.

Would rather him than Bennell

No disrespect but you can't be serious. Bennell is miles better than Yarran.

Yaz has skills and pace, but also amazing vanishing skills. If there's hesitation about Bennell's influence on off-field culture, he's got nothing on Yarran when it comes to detrimental influence on-field. One of the softest downhill skiers going around. Roos says he wants competitors. Yarran is pretty much the antithesis of that.

I'd only be interested in getting him on the cheap, but Carlton won't part with him cheaply.

Tigers can have him as they continue their tour of delusion.

I wouldn't give up pick 100 for Yarran, let alone the first round pick that Carlton want. Could you imagine Lumumba and Yarran prancing around on opposite flanks, trailing their men in by five metres and generally looking disinterested? No thanks.

I would probably give up a 3rd round pick for Yarran. I wouldn't go beyond that though. I think he is suspect mentally, I am not sold he is capable of succeeding at an AFL level. Sure, he does have the talent, but I don't think he is worth the risk. To my eye, he is an incident waiting to happen. He cannot control himself.

So Cam Luke (AFL Trade radio host) is saying that Richmond apparently want to offload Ben Lennon and a third rounder for Yarran......

What?

From bigfooty:

Sorry for intruding.

Not sure it's been mentioned in your thread but a poster on the Carlton forum has mentioned Yarran's manager has been in touch with Melbourne and vice versa and Yarran is open to the discussion.

Goes with what was mentioned earlier about Paul Connor's (Yarrans manager and others obviously) appearing at Melbourne HQ.

If say that was to go ahead, what do you think Melbourne would want to offer? Not sure Yarran is the right fit but hopefully he finds a good home and shows his true potential.

Wouldn't shock me in the slightest if we got him.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
