They are all up for trade, Watts, Dunn, Howe, Toumpas. No one is safe, we are an ordinary football team, obviously some tough calls need to be made. I am a massive Jack Watts fan, I think he has a lot of talent, has class, great skills, but he has also had a lot of time to prove his worth. To date, I don't think Watts has proved his worth, I'd be looking to cut loose any player who sits in the potential category, that would be Watts, Toumpas, and to a lesser extent Howe. I would move Howe on for other reasons, I think he is pricing himself out.

    According to 3aw not only will watts be up for trade

    But toumpas dawes and wait for it Dunn ????

    Who is safe ?

    I wouldn't be unhappy if all of them were traded, depending on what we would get in return.

    Dunn would be replaced in the 22 by Frost straight away.

    Putting players up for trade isn't all that tough and ruthless if no-one takes them or we have to give them away.

    Putting them up, anyone wanting them and then any players of better value let along high quality coming back are slim.

    All our trade talk seems to be about Howe, Watts, Dawes, Garland, Toumpas and now also Dunn.

    I'm not sure how 'aggressive' it is for the club to be willing to consider offers for AFL-level players who are not critically important to the team, even if they are creditable and good contributors to culture.

    'Aggressive' in my mind would be talking about trading Tom McDonald as a part of a deal to get Dangerfield. Or Gawn and our top pick for Prestia and big Zac.

    For the record, I wouldn't approve of that level of ruthlessness. I think it comes at a secondary cost of increasing other player's willingness to move out.

    Generally, when we struggle to assemble an AFL-level best 22, I'm reluctant to let any credible players go.

    It's no different to last year - doesn't mean there is a fire sale and we'll give them away, just means all players have a price apart from an elite few.

    ? not sure I followed that lol

    For mine Dunn is a Keeper. He's important for us.

    What the [censored]

    If we trade Dunn I am done with this [censored]. Most important player on our list in close to a decade, holds down the back 6 like a champion and we want to entertain trades?

    I'm glad this thread is a troll post otherwise I would be [censored]

    If Dunn is traded that's it for me. May as well just relocate to Tasmania if that happens as it would be the end of the MFC.

    I don't make sense at the best of times let alone with auto correct.

    What players of quality want to be a dee?

    Dunn has been consistent with some high quality games over the last 2 years, won't be a loss of he is traded. Frost steps in and up hopefully.

    Lol. Yep, that'll really be the end of it. Our 3rd tall defender in his late 20s being traded. I'm still not sure what we're going to do in Matt Jones' absence either.

    Nope.

    His comment about how we should trade Christian Salem at the end of this year because he is 'injury prone' takes the cake for me.

    The guy is a fool. Try not to take him too serious AF

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
