Just off topic from the club, but:

What do you guys make of Carlton's deal to send Menzel back to SA for a second round pick and Kerridge, a bloke who played 1 senior game for the Crows in 2015?

I know they are probably sending that pick to GWS for 4 average footballers, but it seems like they are giving up on a bloke who I thought showed a bit of potential and x-factor, something their list seriously lacks.

Big mistake from my perspective. I really rate Menzel from what I've seen of him and would never contemplate trading him in exchange for a fringe player and a 2nd round pick in a draft weak in depth.
 

Still no mention of Bugg?

I thought he was a lock for us?

Mahoney said that Bugg will become a Dee. It just might not happen until tomorrow or until after the Carlton/GWS trade.

Tomorrow it will happen apparently.

They are putting a lot of eggs in the GWS basket if u ask me. Also I wouldn't get rid of Menzel. The way they are going they will have no one to kick goals.

Happy days.


Seriously, that's just plain dumb. 2016 is supposedly a much stronger draft, we are currently 15th or 16th in premiership betting, and we're prepared to risk giving up a top four pick. Is Parish really that good?

Potentially, IN picks 3, 10 and 43 in a weak draft; OUT pick 4 in a strong draft, 6 and 29 in a weak draft. How is that possibly a win for us?

We simply back ourselves in to improve and at least get close to playing finals next year. Then it's a win.

Plus you would have thought they wouldn't want to get burnt again after trading down for Jaksch and Whiley last year. Horrid trade that one.

No idea what Carlton's endgame is here...they're making some very questionable moves.

Surely a lock for the spoon next season. Sure anything can happen but christ they look terrible.

Another positive it ain't us doin it. Thank god.


That's my question? Plus don't we already own pick 43?

No we don't, our Pick 43 was pushed back to 46 after Hawthorn, West Coast & Brisbane received their free agent compensation.

This is the draft/trade period...

Over the last 2 years with Roos we have picked up Tyson/Salem and Brayshaw/Petracca then of course Vince/Cross and some other young promising kids like Stretch, Frost, ANB, OMac, Harmes, White etc.

It will be interesting to see what else we have if anything past Bugg for this trade period.

If not the next stop is the draft and then getting Petracca & Trengove back on the paddock.

Well that's the one.

I guess this is consistent now, another 2 in this year.

I wasn't too keen on trading out next years draft but we're building real talent.

2 more top picks added plus Petracca and Trengove due back.

18 of the top 30 picks have changed hands in the last 24 hrs. The ability to trade future draft selections has made a significant difference during trade period.

HOW DO WE GET PRESTIA WITHOUT A 1ST ROUNDER FOR NEXT YEAR

We can trade our 2017 1st round pick plus steak knives.

They did manage to pull our pants down this year though, didn't they

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?

Now I'm not one to blow my own horn, but I believe I was the first to suggest this as a possability!

Ha TOOT TOOT!!

They sold Menzel off for unders, but they got massive overs off the GWS getting back pick 8 - in addition to the bundle of 4 players. When you look at the players that have left GWS over the years - Miles, Adams, Bruce, Tyson. They have all performed. This could end up being a massive win for Carlton.


They are putting a lot of eggs in the GWS basket if u ask me. Also I wouldn't get rid of Menzel. The way they are going they will have no one to kick goals.

Indeed with a little luck we could play them twice next year.

Thank you.

Salem was drafted as a midfielder. He'll slot in very nicely there for us in the coming years.

Have Kent or Salem played midfield in the AFL , NO so don't get someone else to back your post up they might've at TAC level but they havnt in the AFL so there's no use including them in midfield rotations, Kent playing in the middle is laughable they guy can barely run out 3 quarters .

I will be happy about that old dee provided we beat the plicks!

Still can't believe we lost to them this year.

Middymalt, for the few years I've been on this forum I've been watching feuds erupt on a regular basis. I often think to myself, "How do these people even remember who is posting?". For the life of me, I couldn't get a grudge to stick...

But your name, my malty friend, is managing to stick hard and fast.

They did manage to pull our pants down this year though, didn't they

That is the last time this decade.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
