Mahoney and co should just not even turn up tomorrow and leave a note on our trade desk that says "Out to lunch".

They read the new (trade) world better than all the other clubs in regards to the points system and absolutely cleaned up. Other clubs will be more savvy next year so such a coup won't happen again. Fantastic work MFC - couldn't have done it better.

 

Today should be a lesson for those who wanted to do the trades early and for those who continually wanted to play hard ball.

MFC and GWS clearly had a plan from the beginning of trade period to use the system to benefit both parties. They were prepared to do this because of a trust between the parties. This trust was also evident in the initial GCS trade.

Playing hard ball only puts people off side. MFC with Mahoney and Roos have built a reputation of being sensible to deal with and trustworthy. We have clearly worked on outcomes that are "win win" which is the key to all successful negotiations.

Well done MFC. Let's hope the posters who shot off at the mouth learn from this. I'm so sick of blokes coming out slagging decisions and then saying "I'm happy to eat humble pie" and then being stupid enough to make exactly the same mistake two minutes later.

On another note, I wonder if Prodee is still "underwhelmed".

We started the trade period with pick 6. If you said we'd finish the trade period with picks 3 and 7 and lose just one best 22 player - a C-grader - I wouldn't have believed you.

 

I hope that we are seriously looking at Jones and Terlich's contracts as it would be a shame to merely use picks 46 & 50 on rookie upgrades when there may be somebody that the FD finds more suited to our needs ( now that we have traded in some midfield depth)!

Looking at Carlton's trade period to date, I reckon we could package up both Terlich and MJones and pick 94, and we'd receive Patrick Cripps in return!

...On another note, I wonder if Prodee is still "underwhelmed".

Very underwhelmed with Kennedy and Bugg.

Rapt with draft picks.

Obviously.


Can someone please correct me if this is wrong

remaining picks: 46,82,100,118

OUT: Howe, Toumpas, Fitzpatrick
OUT: 6, 25, 64 and 2016RD1 (pick 8-10ish)

IN: Melksham, Kennedy, Bugg
IN: 3, 7, 50, 94

We are now seeing why Mahoney is the only person remaining from the previous administration.

I can see what he has done but I'm not sure how he has done it. Well done JM and team. I am excited about our team for next year. Go dees

Edit: The Mahoney first statement is wrong.

Fixed... :roos:

Trade action at least. I see something like:

2016 1st - 3

6 - 7

25 - Melksham

Toumpas - Kennedy

Howe - Bugg

Pretty good but I'd hold off the champagne

You might have missed a few picks in the OUT section. For example we got Pick 29 in the Kennedy deal and then on traded that to GC as part of today's deal.

But if you're merely looking at showing what we started with to what we have right now then I think you're pretty spot on.

Everything but Pick 46. We always had that, our 3rd round pick.

All there when Bailey was coach bar Misson who came with Neeld.

Edit: Forgot Pete Roberts. He was also there in Bailey's time.

I think a forum is supposed to have varying opinions. Thousands of fans... So I don't know how anyone can be 'sick of the mahoney bashing. There will always be differing opinions obviously...

Status update: Whelmed


We started the trade period with pick 6. If you said we'd finish the trade period with picks 3 and 7 and lose just one best 22 player - a C-grader - I wouldn't have believed you.

We've also given up our 2016 first round pick, for accuracy's sake. Still a big win.

So if we upgrade VdB & Harmes, how many live picks does that leave us for the draft?

We prob only need 3 & 7. Tho' wasn't there a F/S possibility too?

Out 43 as well.

43 was Gold Coasts 3rd rounder we got in the 6 for 3 deal. Was pushed from 40 to 43 after the FA compo picks were given out.

I stand corrected. I just stupidly parroted what someone told me.

Jake Lovett who'll probably be available to us in the rookie draft.

Best day of my life to be honest...

Well today's been a good day hasn't it?

 

Best day of my life to be honest...

No that will be when we win the premiership hulk!

IN - Bugg, Melksham, Kennedy, pick 7, pick 3, pick, 50, pick 46, pick 94

OUT - Howe, Toumpas, pick 6, pick 25, pick 64, 2016 1st round (could influence prestia)

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
