Highlights - the lack of real activity is shown up by the fact that we're getting a bit of old news mixed in with the few real highlights

Hawthorn has made a shock move to snatch Jake Carlisle from St Kilda's grasp. The Hawks have come into the play with a three-way trade involving Jed Anderson which is expected to see Carlisle move to the Premiers.

As part of the proposed Carlisle trade, Jed Anderson would move from Hawthorn to North Melbourne, while an exchange of picks would also take place to see the Bombers secure two extra first round picks.

Essendon's Jake Melksham will play for the Demons next season after the two clubs agreed to a trade to see him move in exchange for pick 25.

Lewis Jetta will play at the West Coast Eagles next season after tonight being traded by the Swans in a direct trade for Eagles ruckman Callum Sinclair.

Richmond general manager of football Dan Richardson has slammed Harley Bennell as being "disrespectful" when he visited the club earlier this year.

Collingwood's Paul Seedsman has nominated Adelaide as his destination club of choice, with the two clubs now set to head to the trade table. The Crows beat a number of clubs in attempting to lure Seedsman out of Collingwood.

Matthew Leuenberger is officially an Essendon player after Brisbane elected not to match the club's three-year free agency offer. The Lions will now receive an end of second round compensation pick from the AFL for losing Leuenberger.

In 2017? He'll 100% be in Victoria, and highly likely be a Demon.

few things I've heard. Not sure why GC don't cut their losses now and use his contract status as a tool to extract more than they'll get next year.

Anyone who knows the rules re. trades and such, exactly how much power do clubs have to trade players? If Howe says Collingwood and the club says Gold Coast because it's a better deal, who has the most power to force the issue? IF Howe is insistent that he stays in Victoria, could we then trade him to a different Melbourne-based club for better compo? What if the club were to go to him and say outright that they won't trade him to the Pies because they have nothing to trade back that matches his value? From the look of things right now it appears that the clubs have virtually no power when a player decides they want to go to another side

The only power they have is that, if the player walks and nominates for the draft, the player risks being picked up by a club the player doesn't want to play for. If they don't want to play for them, they sit out of AFL for 2 years.

Think yourself lucky that you haven't met him. Absolute nutcase, especially after 3/4 of a bottle of Whisky. Gets all ranty over the smallest things.

As we are twins, I've, been mistaken for him all of my life, and for someone with a horrible memory for people, its a nightmare. I never know if I have forgotten the face, or have never met them before.

Nice to see the Day 4 trade wrap article on the AFL website thinks we'll cave and take Kennedy & a 2nd round pick.

I still say we should tell Collingwood that the asking price for Howe will be Ben Reid (to go to Gold Coast) & Ben Kennedy but they'll get Pick 35 thrown back their way.

Wonder if what Mahoney said is true and the Howe trade is done by the end of the week?

There has been very little use of future picks in this trade period thus far. Hypothetically if gc were open ti trading would our pick 6 and first rounder next year (likely 9-12) get it done?

If we're as keen on Parish as it seems we are, would the club back themselves in and trade Pick 6 and our 2016 1st Round Pick for Pick 3 and Gold Coast's 2016 2nd round pick, possibly also switching this years Pick 46 with their 35?

Suggested the same just the page over.

If we're that keen on Pick 3 then I reckon it shoud, along with moving Pick 46 up to 35.

We can then use that Pick along with Toumpas to try and bring Kennedy & Bugg over.

I have a feeling Toump will stay. We arn't hearing reports of him meeting Port/doing Medicals/manager being a [censored] ect. It's really quiet in the Toumpas camp right now.

Usually is some posturing ect

Still 6 & a half days. Plenty of time.

Once it hits Tuesday, that's when any deals that are yet to be done, you start to wonder about.

The Toump is the kind of player that gets dealt with much later in the trade period.. When clubs see what loose change they have and whats in the bargain bin. Harsh...but reality I wish him well. Cant say that for some others :rolleyes:

I can't get excited by Kennedy of Bugg.

Kennedy is a small NQR midfielder and Bugg a strong bodied defender/tagger who'd be fringe best 22.

I understand we need better depth, but all I can conclude is that this draft must be an absolute stinker.

Understand the lack of excitiment, but at the same time they fit the typical Roos recruit that turn into very good team players.

Both have certain attributes I like, so I'll back the club in on both of them.

Do they ? Why ?

I don't see it.

Is Kennedy considered a bit of a tough guy? Cause Bugg certainly has mongrel & Mahoney said something about Melksham being an enforcer type (and he was a very good junior boxer), so maybe that's our theme this year if Kennedy is also along similar lines?

Is that what Roos means by having 22 competitors?

Posted

Guys, this talk of trading 2 second-rounders for GWS' first pick isn't new.

It was posited on BigFooty a month ago, and I'm sure I brought the idea over here too.

I'm sure if the club saw it as a good idea, they'd be all over it.

It's been floated well before that too.

I don't mind the idea of Bugg, but struggle to see the purpose of Kennedy. I'll back the decisions that Roos & Co make, but at this stage I'm not too sure what part of the recruiting blueprint Jesse Hogan is so impressed by.

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.

    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
