I think once the Tom Bugg deal goes through, i think we'll shut up shop for this trade period.

Looks like we shut up shop on day 1

Nope.. just very underwhelmed by our activity thus far. I'd be happy to be surprised by some ridiculously good last minute trading...

 

You can be aggressive as you want - but if you cannot convince players of note to come - they will not come.

Which player that changed clubs should we have acquired and why?

Where should we have focussed our aggression?

Such as?


Name this type of player, who is at least of good quality, who we can actually go out there and get. They don't grow on trees.

Sam Reid

Super athletic. Can lead up, take big grabs and play anywhere on the ground

Would be given a much bigger role at the Dees than the Swans, plus their premiership window is closing. Plus, he's only 23, which fits our 21-24 age bracket.

I would be all for trying to lure him home to Victoria. Give him good cash and sign him up. Doubt the swans would trade him for picks 29 and 46, so maybe a scenario where we give them our pick 6 along with 29 and 49 and they give us Reid and pick 14 back?

Great proposition

It's the duck on the pond look. Everything is moving fast underneath but your see a gliding duck up top. Just because our duck has been moving in some circles doesn't mean it's legs ain't furiously moving where you can't see them.

Highlights - plenty of activity today.

Charlie Dixon has officially been traded from the Gold Coast Suns to Port Adelaide in a complicated three-way trade which also involved a trading of picks with the Richmond Football Club.

Collingwood's Nathan Freeman was today traded from the Pies to the Saints, with the Saints also sending next year's second round pick back to the Pies.

Essendon midfielder Brent Stanton is set to finally sign a new contract with the Bombers. The contract is expected to be for one season, with a "reachable" trigger to see it extend into two.

Troy Menzel's future is up in the air, with all the talk this afternoon surrounding a possible trade for the Blues' forward to the Crows. Expect that deal to get done. As part of the potential Menzel trade, it is expected Sam Kerridge will be traded from the Crows back to the Blues, as well as a second round pick.

Carlton looks set to secure four youngsters from the GWS, with Liam Sumner, Lachie Plowman, Andrew Phillips and Jed Lamb all a chance to move to Victoria from Western Sydney.

I don't doubt the club are doing a power of work behind the scenes. Lets hope something comes of it in the next day and a half.


Great trade period.

Howe and Toump gone.

List improves immediately.

Very happy over here.....

I would like to think we had a go at a guy like Craig Bird.. not an A grader but every bit as good as someone like Bernie V.

So a Bird in the hand is worth the two players we have got?

Seriously, though, not getting Craig Bird is the deemotivator? Really?

If you are looking for C grade HBFs - Jake Melksham is already there.

Not sure if it's been posted here, but the mooted trade going down for Carlisle tomorrow is:

Saints In - Carlisle, Pick 14 and 44

Ess In - Pick 5, Craig Bird

Syd In - Picks 24 and 25

No where near the same class as Bernie.

Staggering comment to be honest. Vince in his day is right up there with the A graders of the game.

Amazing how the Druggos get gifted charity after dragging the league through the mud for 3 years. Thats way too much for Jake Carlisle, jesus christ.

Really interesting tactic the Blues are going for, having no one on the list that has kicked a goal ever. I like it.

Buyer was really interested, we had chit assets to sell.

They were always getting 5, but the Saints did alright to stay in the first round of the draft while getting Carlisle as well. I don't rate Craig Bird so that part means little.


Kennedy, Bugg and Melk will be handy pick ups, but our #1 priority should be a 2nd forward to help Jess! But who is out there? Maybe bundle 29 and 46 and try to go out and get a young key forward who can play. What do you guys think?

877062_1_M.jpg

yeah, nah

877062_1_M.jpg

yeah, nah

Because getting a young key forward is basically equivalent to getting another Chris Dawes type mk 2..

Right..

 

I need somewhere to say this


I hate Geelong,,, so smug!


I so hope their plans come to nothing


I think Port Adelaide has done OK


Our trades are probably OK


I hate Geelong.... SO SMUG!

Bloody travesty that Essendon get two picks before us. If they take Parish and Curnow I'll be livid.

  • 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.

    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.
