This may all be linked to something else other that a straight swap that we'll probably never know about.

That's what I'm thinking.

Well, that's what I'm thinking to make myself feel better anyway.

Think that's Melkshams head on Cale Mortons body.

Why get A graders when we can get solid C graders!

I know we have no snow flakes chance in hell of getting an A grader but it still shits me.

Ahh it is so nice to see DL returning to its usual positive self. Apparently Roos, Goodwin, McCartney and co have no idea what they're doing

True.

I wish him all the success imaginable and hope he rips it up for the club.

Think of it as a 10 step process. Most of us will come around to acceptance soon enough. Right now we are in denial/grief/anger.

Don't understand the consternation - he's a better player than those we delisted and will likely walk into our 22. I'd have him in the team ahead of guys like Grimes or Watts as well. Whatever you say about him he is a competitor and I think he'll relish playing in a different environment with a FD that isn't run by an egomaniac.

My only concern is the WADA penalties as I think the Essendon players will get smacked. Not sure what, if any, assurances the AFL has given to clubs that trade in EFC tainted goods. I would assume none and we wear the risk but I guess offering him a 4 year contract (if that's what eventuated) means we have faith that he'll be a long term player even if he copped the maximum 2 years.

Probably the twentieth time that joke has been posted in the last 48 hours. And it still isn't funny.

We should have played Howe as FF for two winnable games mid-year, directed all forward entries to him.. given him a bag of 8 goals and then traded him at a fat price ala Jake Carlisle Super Swingman

Yep because the last time a melbourne player kicked 8 goals was...........

Howe has opted for the Pies over North Melbourne and Gold Coast, even though their offer is slightly less.

It is understood the offer from Collingwood - which was only received on Thursday - is a three-year deal.

I suspect it's a contract extension.

They've since said Pick 25 :(

Ah well, there goes the dream that it was for our 2016 second-rounder, which could be around pick 35 :mad::)

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
