Trade Radio Discussion

Trade Radio reporting that Melksham will be a done deal for our second round pick (hope we are getting something else in this deal). Also reporting that Ben Kennedy to the Dees will be a done deal, not mentioning any picks etc.

 

Cool i want to see someone in our colours by 4.45 as ive had a lot of coffee today...

 

Surely that's overs

Depends on how you look at it ;)


just on trade radio Dodoro confirming that Melksham to melbourne for our 2nd round pick

This just feels too much for me.

R we being ripped off or is it fair?

 

Never got a decent trade from Scum since Ray Smith.

Only comfort I draw from Milkshake is the way Roos re- ignited Teddy Richards' career.

Edit: Ben*

There's that sinking feeling in the chest. A second rounder.

[censored] I hope Goody knows what he's doing.


Given the inside knowledge on Melksham that both Goodwin and McCartney have, I'll back them to make this deal good for us.

But they are not allowed to discuss game plans and they come to Mums' in different colored T-Shirts.

They switch ends of the table 4 times a roast.

We should have traded our second round pick from Port Adelaide (for Toumpas)! I agree it seems like overs to me!


Mahoney just confirmed 2nd round pick looks to be around the mark for Melksham.

Edited by juzzk1d

If a second round pick is the going rate for Melksham, we should be demanding a mid first round pick for Howe.

I can't see how effectively swapping Melksham for Howe improves our list, particularly if the talk of a four year deal at $400K per is correct.

It sounds like overs to me, but only because his form the last two seasons stinks

Why trade for him when we could just take him in the PSD?

Good question. I don't understand why we or anyone owe drugs inc any kind of professional courtesy when they have projectile shat over this competition for a couple of seasons now!


Why trade for him when we could just take him in the PSD?

Because there are other clubs that have psd picks before us.

Is he under contract at Ess?

Slightly overs, think we need to move on.

Getting the deal done early allows us to focus on other possibilities. Pick 23 will probably look like 25 or 26 by the time bid-matching and FA compensation picks are allocated, which is about the range the talent would have started to drop off. It's right in the range where clubs are dubious about the depth of the pool.

He's not under contract, and nobody else seems to be interested in him. This just doesn't make much sense to me.

 

Was passing a store just now, they had this on. Thought I heard Howe is definitely gone, didn't hear any more.

The funny thing is a lot of us were unhappy giving up pick 23 for Frost.

The Roos mantra has always been that draft picks are speculative and it is often better to take a known commodity. Something our club did not do in the past...

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
