Off to a good start with agent Paul Connors saying that contract offers for Leunberger aren't big enough to net the Lions a 1st round compo pick

Let the silliness begin

 

im a bit of a dweeb asking this, but is it actually on a radio station or just on the AFL app, saves me googling anyways (which was probably easier to do).
 

Trade radio is on par with Facebook for reliability.

When people say "Facebook" most of the time they are referring to the AFL trade pages and most of the time those are referring to comments made by journalists. It doesn't make them any more accurate but this context needs to be understood.

Then why do they even mention facebook?

I think this is sometimes the case, but often not.
 

They'll be talking about Toumpas shortly.

Just talked about:

Toump to Port

Moore to Essendon

Melksham to Melbourne

Thoughts?

A possible three-way trade may be in play between Melbourne, Port and Essendon.

Toump to Port

Moore to Ess

Melksham to Melb

Means we keep our 2nd round pick. So I'd take it.

Spud for a slightly lesser spud. I would take it

We give up a player who has not been able to become part of the starting 22 for one that usually is.

It will hurt some to give up a pick 4 but we get back a pick 10, altho draft pick # is quite irrelevant.

I will have to find another favourite player for my DL profile...Jesse or Gus maybe... :wub:

However I would be surprised if Essendon will do that trade.

Our second round pick will go to Freo for their first round pick and they get Howe

Is that a prediction/idea? Or where are you hearing that?

What's there first Rd pic?

So we give up Howe for an improvement from (currently) #24 to #16?

What's there first Rd pic?

Pick 16. I haven't heard this one.


Toumpas averages more disposals than Melksham, albeit plays less. Not sure it's a great move. But I guess they're pushing Toumpas out anyway, so may as well get something for him.

Is this a trick question ?

I heard Howe to freo October last year, guessing the trade but our second for their first and maybe grab their second round pick, i reckon something like that works

 

lol....they just had an ad for Dunlop "Super Deals" where Cam Mooney compared their "super deals" to Sydney swooping in to get Franklin on a 10 year contract.

I'd be looking closely at the warranty conditions on that "super deal".

Is Demonland any better?

yeees... its our clearer knowledge, that's why the journos make D/L their first port of call, on waking... which isn't very often, may I say,

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
