Can deals still get done over the weekend?

No, but I'm sure the journo's will concoct some unbelievable trade deals to keep us buying the papers.

Sorry Wiseblood i beg to differ..unless youre infering ratified. The dealing goes on and on. You cant for a minute suggest the shenanigans that go on all year suddenly keep to m-f 9-5 sts.
 

I could have sworn we landed the Mitch Clark trade on a Saturday night back in 2011.

We did actually

Good point

I don't mind the idea of Bugg, but struggle to see the purpose of Kennedy. I'll back the decisions that Roos & Co make, but at this stage I'm not too sure what part of the recruiting blueprint Jesse Hogan is so impressed by.

Ssshhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Let him sign the extension first before he realises!

From memory Neeld etc flew up to meet him on Saturday or Friday night. The paperwork to make the deal offical would have been done in business hours Monday to Friday. Feel welcome to correct me if that's incorrect.

The Melbourne FC Twitter page confirmed it on the Saturday night. Perhaps the paperwork wasn't lodged until the Monday but I can definitely remember waking up on the Sunday morning and being over the moon. If only I'd known...

Townsend deal reminds me of the Morton deal and Rodan deal. A nothing deal which means GWS were going to delist him. Miles was a win for Tigers. MFC would like one of these wins.

Garlett & 83 for 61 & 79 didn't do it for you?

One of the great modern footy media paradoxes (along with how someone could appoint Mark Robinson as their Chief Football Writer), is that a guy who completely ruined Richmond's list is known as 'The List Manager'. This is a guy who had absolutely no idea how to build a list and picked Tambling over Roughead and Franklin.

I'd rather listen to a drunk duck discuss our list than Terry Wallace. At least, I'd get something out of it.

At this stage our trade period is a bust.

Hopefully it improves but I'm not holding my breathe.

Yes how high we were! It didn't take too long for the ballon to deflate.

Yes remember it very well, it was Saturday night, not as well as i remember us drafting Cook at 12 in the 2010 draft when Darling was still on the board (or anyone else for that matter).

Disagree. I always find Terry great to listen to.

Also, knowing the mistakes made by an under resourced Richmond gives him a great insight into what not to do. Afterall, we learn from our mistakes.

Plough must be brilliant by now...


Only two months ago Wallet said our list was ahead of the saints on tac future stars. Now he says this.

Wallace. lol. The only person in the world to make our drafting over the last 15 years look good.

Plough must be brilliant by now...

So you disagree ?

EDIT: Disregard. Forgot you're from Canberra and probably wouldn't listen often.

We'll agree to disagree here, mate.

And you do listen often?

I don't seek out his wisdom, no, but he knows football.

Just had a problem with execution in his last stint...

And you can delete posts should you deem them disregardable.

Plough is ok although he can be a bit negative about most lists.


It's easy to dismiss plough's comments but they weren't too wide of the mark. We're still trading in the economy of hope and potential after all this time.

No point deleting a post when you're making a point. And clearly I am. You rarely hear him and are merely judging him on his recruiting record at Richmond. It's a shallow argument (he was coach not recruiter), but yes, it's often made.

But look, I get you like the sound of your own voice and on this occasion you provided a little merriment to some.

I know Demonlanders are going to eat this up.

Anyone find it amusing, or worrying that on the AFL website, there are "Get excited by" videos for all the players moving clubs, but not one for Melksham.

There is a Get excited by:

  • Jetta
  • Bennell
  • Henderson
  • Dangerfield
  • Leuenberger
  • Dean Gore! - he hasn't even played an afl game

....but not one for Melksham. I can't help but laugh...and by laugh, I mean curl up in a ball and cower in a corner.

 

OH MY GOD! Enough negativity..

Well AFL.COM writing team used here demon sliding doors prediction as "some believe demons paid overs for a melksham, we think that in 12 months - Melksham for 25 will look real good for the Dees."

I'm para-phrasing slightly but the half back plan works for me and trade period is barely underway, just wait! There'll be 50+ deals done this period, or close to it.

Trust in the men paid to and passionate about returning this club to the top end, I do.

Our new star is already there, 95% of "stars" are drafted, not traded for. Vines, Hogan, Brashaw, Petracca (better than any kid in this years draft and would be most obv #1 pick in history if drafted this year), Gawn, Tyson (basically used middle of season as his pre season last year, guy is a STUD - well ahead of Treloar In ceiling), Alex NB, Frost, Mcdonald inc Oscar, White will be a gun, King may be ready to play 2nd fiddle late this year, Stretch is so underrated here it's not funny & so forth.. Hogan,Petracca, Brayshaw are stars of future starting now, Viney may go down as our toughest and most beloved player of all time, mark my words - Tyson could be Hodge like with some luck.. Gawn is best young Ruxk in game. Let's calm down peeps!

Plus - Bugg will get done, Rosa or Stanton are being considered for Cross like role, Bastinac was in frame maybe not now but one of Prestia/Gaff/Parker/Rockliff will be a demon 17' perhaps - so let's not throw the bath out with baby water just yet folks! Don't be shocked if Dixon comes into play, were sniffing about I know that much.

GO DEES!!!

Cheers

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
