Josh Mohoney isn't up for the job. Why the [censored] do we wait halfway into trade week for a decision by Howe? Other clubs force players to choose early meanwhile we fluff around and sit on our hands while his in Bali kicking back with the Pies wel into trade week.

To be honest we should have forced his hand as soon as he put off contract talks to end of season.

Put in your resume then mate, you clearly know more about what's going on behind the scenes and how to rationally handle it.

Surely just posturing now that he has a clear preference, or at least a Melbourne-based club has agreed to come close enough to the $$$ offered at GC.

The Age today indicated that the offer from GC was substantially more than the Pies.

Close enough.

As in close enough for Howe to be happy to stay in Melbourne, and not still want to leave the state because the difference was so great.

If it really is significantly more, that works in our favour if we want to eventually talk him into still going to GC, as I doubt Collingwood will offer anything we really want.

Not inclusive of The Footy Show appearance fees and Collingwood sportsmen nights, etc.

This worked in our favour when Johnno was around. Maybe it's time for Lyon to give back a bit, there's no way he would have his current position if it wasn't for this contact and the MFC.

This post is due for a bump. At least it makes me laugh about how dreadful we are.

Gold.

Fair trade. If you can't see that then you're probably still holding out hope of us getting Dangerfield, Treloar, Dixon & Carlisle this trade period.

Unfair just yet...

They are getting these deals done to do something else - if it is to get this Parish kid then I admire the focus - outside of the top 15 players on your list and the top 15 picks - the rest is just cannon fodder.

WGAF?

Yeah man, I was just venting. Let's see what happens.

Spot on rpfc.

How is that people don't see both players were ordinary and were never taking us anywhere fast?

We were trading ordinary players.

No one pays as much for boiled lollies as they do chocolates.

Unfair on Mahoney.

We shouldn't judge him on small stuff like this.

If we sign up Hogan long-term soon - does Josh get any credit?

If we manage to keep Hogan, everyone at the club deserves a big [censored] medal... Perhaps even a premiership medal!

I know Mahoney is doing the best he can, but the decision to trade for Melksham early in the piece was a mistake IMO. We could have given Essendon #29 instead (which I still think is overs).

Better still, give them pick 32 that we got from Collingwood, and exclude Toumpas from the Howe deal.

No point sweating the small stuff.

Decide who you want, do the deal, move on.

The difference a few places in the draft make (outside of the first 10) is neither here nor there, and what happens on draft night is something of a lottery. No-one could have foreseen that we'd get ANB and then Oscar Mac at the picks we did, or that a lowly pick like Vandenberg would end up being a decent enough player to pick up Brownlow votes.

Melksham for 25, Toumpas for Kennedy etc. - these aren't in themselves deals that are going to make or break the club. On the other hand, bringing in three young hard-at-the-ball players, regardless of their deficiencies, does start to shift the culture of the club and set a precedent, especially for players that will be competing for the same or similar roles.

Melksham for 25 or 29 - does it matter if we still trade the remaining pick out and achieve what we set out to?

Same as receiving picks 29 & 50 along with Kennedy for Howe & Toumpas.

I'd suggest many would be calling it a win if we acquired picks 21 & 32 along with Kennedy, but what does it matter if we still would have trade those picks out & achieved that same net result?

Wait until the period is over and then judge.

I assume we will try and trade up the board with GWS, Sydney or Brisbane who will probably auction picks #7, #8, #14 and #17 for Academy points.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
