So by next year, our midfield could consist of: Vince, Jones, Viney, Petracca, Brayshaw, Parish, Trengove, Tyson, VDB and Salem. Why are we recruiting another 3 midfielders in Melksham, Bugg, and Kennedy (in addition to other depth players such as Michie, Newton, ANB, and Stretch)? I know the midfield is important but geesh...

Because if one or some of those guys go down with injury, we are currently replacing them with the Matt Jones/Riley/McKenzie types, or the ones that still need developing (but we were "forced" to play them this year) like Stretch and ANB.

Your a dead set potato. Id love to actually argue a point with you but your seriously such a waste. I love the fascination you have with me though.. does your boyfriend/girlfriend know about this?

Pfft

Fool.

The game revolves around midfield, if we want a chance at a finals spot in the next few years, our midfield will need to compete with an A+ midfield.


Lewis Jetta and Callum Sinclair straight swap. Gee, I reckon the Eagles lose that one.

Also, lock in Sinclair as one of your ruckman in Supercoach next year!

He was insipid in the GF. Failing at the big dance can fcuk the confidence of young blokes.

Reckon Eagles win that trade.

Reckon Sinclair will be found out as the number 1 man.
 

Highlights - there's movement at the station but not at Jolimont.

Harley Bennell will play for the Fremantle Dockers next season after they agreed to a trade today with the Gold Coast Suns. Bennell and pick 22 were sent to the Dockers in exchange for picks 16 and 35.

Lachie Henderson is officially a Cat after Carlton and Geelong agreed on a trade to send Henderson to Geelong in exchange for the club's first round selection in next year's NAB AFL Draft. It is the first time ever that a club has traded a future pick.

Steve Johnson could be a Giants player next season after meeting club officials and taking a tour of the club in Sydney today. It is believed any deal would involve a playing and coaching contract. The Giants confirmed the meeting tonight, but insisted no offer had been made yet.

Lewis Jetta will play at the West Coast Eagles next season after tonight being traded by the Swans in a direct trade for Eagles ruckman Callum Sinclair.

Gold Coast football manager Marcus Ashcroft says the club is still hopeful of securing more talent this NAB AFL Trade Period, with the club eyeing off Paul Seedsman (Collingwood) and Daniel Currie (North Melbourne) in possible trades.

With Geelong securing so much talent this NAB AFL Trade Period, forward Josh Walker could be forced out. There have been reports today that the Brisbane Lions will make a big play for the 22-year-old.

Interest continues from the GWS Giants for Geelong ruckman Dawson Simpson. The unrestricted free agent is expected to join the club this week.

Sounds like everyone is cleaning up while we focus on bringing in C grade duds.

Surely you have to give our coaches and list management team a bit more respect than the above?

It's a long two weeks...

Let's not get carried away with negativity just yet

Jeez there are set dead set sad sods in here. The expectations that an A grader will all of a suddan leap us into a finals is outrageous.

Where was Port Adelaides A grader when they rose up the ladder? Where was the Western Bulldogs A grade elite when they rose up last year.

Indeed - the cult of the messiah

A signing will fix it all

Instead of the rising tide that lifts all boats

It takes 22 blokes not an individual. Wont be the end of the world if we dont land one.

How can you with the track record record?

Fcuk Howe. He is not a free agent.

Ship him off to the team that gives us the best deal. Dealing with colonwood would be 7 days of stalemate, while they try to force us to take Kennedy and nothing else.

Would be nice to see us play hardball with the Pies for a change. I reckon we get their third rounder as well.


Taylor and Hine won't play hardball, they are old co workers and good buddies. Taylor would be all over any of the filths tactics and wouldn't have a bar of it

would rather see our third upgraded with their second, Kennedy and pick 26 for Howe and our third

rubbish

they might even get a room and sing kum byyah !!

More likely ol'Jason knows who he's dealing with. That's all !!

I'm all for a bit of banter, but maybe if these types of antagonistic 'filths' attitudes weren't present, things would get done. Essendon are notorious as well for hating every one else hence their shitty stagnant screw-everyone-over trade attitude. I know i'm being knit picky but you can't expect other teams to be amicable if we are also harboring a 'whats in it for us' and nobody else Abbott approach. And largely Roos doesn't seem to be that way, seems to get things done with communication and compromise.

Which part

Sorry, I read that wrong.

My apologies.

Mi don't want to lose the Toump. I still think he can become a good player. Pick 29 for him isn't great for us, it's actually very poor, I'd rather hold onto him for a few more years and if he doesn't make it cut him. 29 in a weak draft is poor.

We can get Kennedy for a third rounded from the filth, a second rounder is overs for him, they were poor this year and he couldn't get a game.

agreed G,, too cheap. keep him.

Just understand it

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
