I hope they leave it as is, as we're only a season or three off being a destination club ourselves, and we'll then go from prey to predator...

Bring it on!

 

Assuming we have a choice between Dion and Jaeger, who'd we pick?

the lesser injured perhaps

Disregarding injuries, Jaeger no question.

I have no idea how they are each expected to recover from their injuries though.

Last one it is going to cost Pick 6 and Howe.

Geez that's ... ... not a lot.

Prestia the more proven - He walks in an probably instantly becomes our best player , plus his injury is seemingly less severe.

That being said, O'Meara has huge potential if he can get his body right.

I am up north today and just got back to Brisvegas.

The first thing I pick up suggests we are looking for Tom Boyd.

Tell me it isn't so.

Good for Jesse, if Boyd is worth a $1M per year then Hoges must get triple that.

Just realised I haven't seen hogans_heroes for a while.

h_h = middymalt? Can it be true?

Sidenote, pick 6 and Howe for either Prestia or O'Meara would be a bloody brilliant result for us.

Jen Hawkins or Lara Bingle.

h_h has morphed into a term he coined - Petraccattack.

Trying to distance himself from another members damning signature quotes of all his bs no doubt.

Yes, I see it now. I see it all.

I really hope dtj & ash are on the $$ here, I'd be wrapt to trade pick 6 & Howe for Prestia or JOM.

So with Scott Selwood announcing he wants to go to the Cats, they now have to find a way to get Dangerfield, Henderson, Zac Smith and Selwood to the club.

Two things come to mind - how the hell are they going to do that, and why does everyone want to play for the [censored] handbaggers?

I think they're hoping that Adelaide will just give up on Dangerfield and let him walk.

Keep pushing, Crows.

As for the second part, all I can think is third-party deals.

I look forward to the time when our season is more interesting than the trade and draft periods.

Nah, I have signatures disabled for all users. Makes the forum less cluttered and much easier to read

That is more than the Cats will give for Danger.

I would think if true and given the injuries, I would want to give a bit more and get both, or if only Prestia, get their 19 or 22 back to use on someone else.

Howe after all has played 100 games with hardly a miss and pick 6 is pick 6.

O'Meara without question. It's like the kid was engineered in a science lab.

But Prestia is still a gun. You'd be thrilled with either.

GC have formally agreed its just convincing A or B to leave this year.

Prestia is weighing it up more so now more then ever as he feels unwanted that GC would consider it and Jäeger is just concerned with the dollar.

I've said to much. I am done.

This is exactly the sort of deal I'm sure the club were hoping Howe could be involved in. Reckon Watts might be involved in a similar type trade elsewhere if the price is right with next year's first rounder.

I like your thinking here, but I really want at least one of these blokes regardless & would be prepared to pay full admission if absolutely required. Obviously getting both or something extra in return would be even better though.

Love trade time and all the diff scenarios.

It's like having a dream and waking up dissapointed cause it wasnt true!!!

Who wouldn't want Jeremy Howe?

https://youtu.be/1SCNwmHzetU

Shhh... Everyone be quiet about how he turned it over to GWS just outside their 50 immediately after this.

What a mark!! Imagine the attendance boost Gold Coast would get from J Howe in a Suns guernsey. He's worth a few hundred bums on seats.

Also, we will take Prestia.

Omeara is the better footballer but Prestia has loads of hardness which is so critical.

Injuries are the only variable I'd bother being concerned about if it was as easy as choosing.

I agree that fully fit, O'Meara is the better player. How about we swap him for Howe and pick 6, and grab Dion in Free Agency next year :)

  • 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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. 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?

  • 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.
