Let's play it safe, stick with 6, pick up the best KPF available, consider Petracca the new boom recruit, and open up the mythical war chest next year for whatever we deem to lack. I'm a bit weary of being too aggressive for a speculative kid.

Very Very smart post we have a new kid in truck we desperatly need a KPP for Hoges well said
 

Any kid we get at ND6 who is above 6'4 won't be able to help Hogan for a few years...

Is anyone else having trouble listening to SEN via the old computer/iPhone or am I the only one to be so lucki?

I listen via TuneIn Radio app and it's not working for me either.

Working fine on phone. You aren't missing anything.

Bell to lions, Jansen and Walker to lions.

is that necessarily an argument not to do it however ? Just asking

The Roos way us to bring in players to fill specific roles. I would have thought we would go this way. Possibly Goody and Macca prefer to hone some sapling into that player. Just a thought.

Can we temp fill the assistant fwd role til a newbie develops ?

We're not going to perfect a side in 2015/2016

All that said id be surprised of we have a decent pick if it doesn't go to a 185 sized prototype style mid who a foity talent first...athlete 2nd

Is that just through the Internet u r listening caus my phone is out too?

Lions going all out crazy Vossy style!


Not everyone's going to have Pretrac's build at 18.

Wasn't Fyfe overlooked on the basis of his thin wirey frame?

And the fact he was on a undersized forward flanker who was a great contested mark.

Nobody foresaw him becoming a dominant mid, not even Freo.

Well Francis is 6.36 foot tall (192cm) which might as well be 6'4. Given his mobility and ability to play on a flank/midfield I'd say that he is more than capable of playing a role next to the Hulk given his marking ability

If pick 5 goes to the Suns that increases our chance of being able to get him also.

Jansen? Yuk.

Geelong happy to give up on him, because while a good size, they have put a lot of work into his kicking and not seen any improvement.

Couldn't hit water from a boat.

Take a stab? Well considering the club has those players in its sights isn't a stab as such, just a scope of the players were talking to. I'd say Gaff or Prestia most likely, and Parker not Hannebury my mistake - jet lag issue there I'm afraid, I'll edit if can be bothered, it's 5pm here in NYC & I'm feeling "meh"..

Ah jetlag, that explains your post then, ok.

Parker - not Hannerbury - I see. Yes, all four of those players have been talked about, so we will see in 12 months time I guess, not soon. I'll 'take a stab' and pick Prestia.

Do keep the positivity coming though to restore some balance.

If you weren't all so desperate you'd realise that Nudge is not referring to this trade period but the future. Soon for you blokes in the life of a rebuild in next Wednesday, the 'soon' that Nudge refers to is within the coming years.

Yes I gathered that fork, thanks for the appraisal on being desperate champ. That's a first.

True, but better to grab one now than pay extra later.

If we're to keep Dawes and Pedersen, I'd be more comfortable knowing there's a quality young tall developing in behind them.

Think if someone like Weideman has a year to develop, he might be able to start making some meaningful contributions in year 2.


Lions going all out crazy Vossy style!

Bell can play. I thought he had a solid year, improving type, was one of Carlton's best players this year.

I think they'll regret letting him go, and he will be a good pick up for Brisbane.

Gets the ball and then butcher's it.

Bell is returning to QLD as his father is very unwell.

Carlton would be shattered that he is leaving but good on them for not making life difficult for him.

His dad has cancer and there is no one left to look after his other siblings up in Brisbane.

Im pretty sure Carlton let him go for family reasons and nothing else.


If we're able to upgrade to pick 8 which means we have picks 6 & 8 does anyone see the possibility that we could get both Curnow and Francis.

That would be a dream for me

Probably more likely to get Curnow and Weideman.

Francis probably gone by our first pick.

 

With the report on the latest multi trade deal, we weren't apart of it.

St. Kilda give pick 5 to Port. In exchange for pick 10 and future first round.

Port then use the pick 5 plus 19 to the Suns for Charlie Dixon.

Suns then have Pick 3, 5 16 & 19

Now if we couldn't come to some arrangement between with those numbers on the table, we'd be mad.

Surely we could get 3 & 19 for 6 and a pick 3rd rounder of ours. Is workable.

We then have Curnow as a lock in the Draft.

Until we get something for Toumpas I don't know what we can offer Pies for Kennedy, or GWS for Bugg.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
