It is not impossible we trade 3 & 7 for 4 & 5.

Depends on who we really want and who Bombers believe we want and they want.

Could be another pick upgrade or player involved.

Highly unlikely, but possible.

We will know in less than 6 hours.

Dodoro would need another 2 weeks to consider Redleg, just to work out whether it be worthwhile.

 

Melbourne officials just arrived at etihad. Late trade maybe???

They've just come for the free refreshments and to point and laugh at the Toigs contingent

I don't think they would just not rock up today, there is always a 1% chance someone will want to trade pick 95 for Terlich.

Interesting.. you'd think if they had shut up shop they wouldn't have bothered to rock up today.

Wouldn't it be prudent to be there just in case something falls out of the tree ?

There may be something happening, or it may be due diligence.

Like the (alleged?) last minute round 1 pick for Howe last year.... *sigh*

For the entertainment value in watching Pies officials scramble for Aish (tick, tick, tick), and maybe to help out our good mates in GWS in some way to help them get enough pts for the academy players, whilst improving our draft position 3rd pick even further.

Oh how I hope they cannot get him.

Tomlinson?

yeah Tomlinson would be great. Icing on the cake.

What would we give up though?


Pick 50 (that we were originally going to use on Bugg)

Can't see it happening as we can't trade anymore future picks (once you've traded pick 1 you can't trade anymore from that draft).

Tig supporters must be looking at s with envy, we pull magic from nowhere and they're still stuck trying to deal for Yarran.

What plebs they are.

I think they finished a bit higher than us for the last four years.

Plebs may be but this decade their results leave us in the cold.

True, but it all means nothing if they struggle to win a final, and I'd still back us to win a flag before them.

Apparently Carlton willing to give pick 12 for Tomlinson, hence why they want it for Yarran so bad.

Don't think 50 is enough but wow pick 12 is overs x1000

As every loyal Dees supporter would .

But I think that is five years off the Dees and the tigers are well ahead at this stage.

It is only overs if the Tigers won't give it.

Personally If I were the tigers I would tell them to go jump.

Yarran ain't that good

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
