I wouldn't call Redden a big fish but he's certainly legal size and then some. All talk surrounding him has gone a little quiet over the past week. Redden, Melksham and Bugg would be a considerable improvement to our midfield stocks in a "quiet trade year".

    Our big fish is Dion Prestia at the end of 2016. Assuming we are still looking better than GC then.

    So there is no big fish for 2015, what a surprise.

    It's go a long way to run AF. How many of these trades are done within the last few days and hours?

    There's always the internet. ;)

    Bernie Vince?

    Two years ago. Last year, there was talk about a big fish all off season and then nothing.

    Yeah but I am pretty sure that what was rumoured at the time was true - that we had something big cooking but it all fell apart when Trengove failed that medical. Remeber we had a spare pick 3 also

    This time we have pick 6, Howe, Toumpas and god knows who else they might sacrifice for the greater good

    I am not writing off Roosy just yet

    Glad I'm off to London this week, because I couldn't be bothered sitting through another trade week without landing anyone decent.

    I've lived overseas for a long time, and can assure you that no matter where you are, having an internet connection makes it very difficult to hide from the disappointment.

    I'm just saying I'd prefer not to wait. I arrive back in the country after trade week is over, so less [censored]-teasing for me and just the real news at the end of it all.

    There will be no big fish this year I think, however next year Wingard is out of contract and if we could get him I'd lose my [censored]!

    He won't leave PA. From memory he made it clear that if he was drafted by a club outside SA that he would return home when his contract was up.

    Thanks for smashing my dreams.

    Chad Wingard at MFC= making Jaded happy for the rest of eternity

    Chances of this happening= 0%

    I notice O Wines contract end 2016, he also fits the profile of 21-24 and competitive. Imagine if we pulled him out from under PA's noses.

    Pipe dream I know but.......?

    Apologies if someone has brought this up already, but I am sure some one will disabuse me of this dream nonetheless. Have at it D'Landers! Have at it!

    Ha ha I have been waiting for some one to bring wines name into this.

    I do not think he would ever come to us.

    I think it's time that the big fish is one or all of:

    Hogan

    Petracca

    Brayshaw

    Salem

    Surely? One of them? Please.

    Not going to lie; every time I read those names together, I get extremely excited.

    • 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.
