Don't think we have a chance with Aish. Talk on Twitter is the Pies will use the second round pick they get from St Kilda to send 2 second round picks to the Lions

 

Further to this, his manager, Liam Pickering stated a few days ago Aish only wants to go to Collingwood or he'll stay at Brisbane. This was after he rejected a big offer from North. I'm sure us North Melbourne have been confused.

Not interested in an entitled little twit.

If Prickering says that, it means he'll end up at West Coast or Hawthorn!

For me it depends who's asking and whose entitled little twit they'd be. If Treloar was being an entitled little twit (check) and nominated us instead of Collingwood, I would be quite happy to take an entitled little twit. ;)
 

In basic terms Melbourne began the exchange period with:

- Picks 6, 24, 42 and 60, Jeremy Howe and Jimmy Toumpas

It now sits with:

- Picks 6, 29, 46 and 50, Jake Melksham and Ben Kennedy

We began with 25 not 24.

Good summary anyway.

Fingers crossed we pull off a miracle with Aish.. All depends on the pitching skills from here!

I sincerely hope not! Not that it will help, but my fingers will be firmly crossed that we wouldn't be so stupid.

I don't like this personally but will wait til trading is over. Just shows how difficult it is: we can't land a big fish and players nominate their own terms, even when under contract. The system has to change.

Those that don't rate Howe or Toumpas will be happy but for mine Howe had much more currency that what we ended up with. Toump for Kennedy seems like a small win because BK is more a contested type, faster and is not a deer in the headlights.

Actually, all my Collingwood supporting mates say that is exactly what he is... I have only seen him play once (QB) myself and he looked ok.

Yeah as HT says we started with 25, and when did 43 become 46 - I must've missed that (not that it really matters - probably get the same player at either)
 

With Mahoney in charge there is not chance.

Freeman confirmed to Saints. Not sure of details.

Paperwork being lodged as I type.

Then I apologise. When it is said in isolation it doesn't sound good. There are so many negative posters out there that comments like these are common and you lose insight into what is sarcasm. I should concentrate more at the waffle I read.

I wonder, because Tigers are getting hammered by their fans for no activity, if they would go for Dylan Grimes brother with 29 for their 12. Then they do deal for Yarran with 29 and another pick this year or next.

Grow up. You sound like a little kid.

DJ as I said earlier, check the posts I've made on the whole Mahoney is rubbish lean that has occurred here... I don't subscribe to it and was taking the fizz. Will chuck in a snazzy emoticon next time.

I think we are kicking every tire and looking under every rock for the type of players we want. Whether these players want to come over to us, and whether other clubs think we have assets to trade for the players they have that we rate is a different story. Our improvement will be another step up but will mostly have to come from within unless something else comes up to finish this trade period. (but again none of us have an ear to what the team is doing behind closed doors).


Do any of the Grimes to Richmond rumours have any substance to them??

Richmond fans would be microwaving their memberships in droves if the Tigers did that deal Redleg

Surely Aish has to be worth pick 6 he's had 2 years in the system and played some good games but we will go the long path

Richmond fans would be microwaving their memberships in droves if the Tigers did that deal Redleg

As of this year the Richmond Footy Club created microwave-proof membership cards.

Although initially more expensive to produce, it is thought that it will save the RFC several millions of dollars in the constant production and issue of replacements.

Comments being made that the Dees expected to land Bugg soon, and that will be it for the Demons for the 2015 Trade Period. Expected to keep first two picks (6,29) for the Draft Period.

If that's true then that's very dissapointing.

So much for improving our draft position.

Thank that high flying fl0g that plays for the filth now for that.

Well geez, if we were going to take our second rounder to the draft we probably shouldn't have given up 25 so hastily. What harm was there in waiting to see if we got Port's for Toump?

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
