    Club going all out for Prestia... Pick 3 would have sealed the deal. I understand the frustration.

    Dees still very confident he will be in red and blue 2016.

    Called this muppet out last year and got howled down for it. Glad some are starting to wake up to themselves and realize what a phony this guy is.

    Technically the trade period is in 2016, so it would still be 2016. Thanks for playing.

    I'll accept that GNF says it's still a possibility...

    Maynard is a tough and skilled left footed half-back flanker whose father played for MFC.

    De Goey is their Brayshaw and is worth way more than Howe.

    Oxley is an inconsistent, flakey half-back and isn't worth what Howe is.

    Marley Williams is a mental midget with issues.

    Is this the Oxley that carved us up Queens birthday?

    I agree with your assessment of De Goey but Williams DID have issues which seem to be in the past. Rated above average in the Prospectus.

    Yeah you haven't convinced me on Maynard at all.

    Pick 3, part of a larger complicated trade. Obviously not going back to GC.

    Poor save

    He sounded pee'd off to me.

    Whether thats from Howe back flipping to the Pies or whatever.

    I certainly hope we dont get reamed on this trade. We need a win this trade season. So far its been anything but.

    I think it has more to do with playing in prime time ón the big stage' so he can show off, his a show poney. only issue is will he make the team often enough to show off on the big stage. he will have a lot harder competition at Collingwood for a spot and they will not tolerate this laziness or turnovers they way we have.

    Best Pick they'll have will be 24 if they get that from St Kilda for Freeman.

    And IF they dont??

    Tell him it is GCS or try your luck in the draft.

    OD you and I have been around for a long long time do you really reckon MFC would have the Knackers to do that I know they should you know they should Will They?

  • Quote

    We may as well force Howe into draft. And tell Kennedy to do the same and get him with our last pick rather than waste in on a earlier trade value. We will get him for nothin anyway. Show some balls dees. We get nothin for Howe either way, but we get Kennedy at last pick anyway.

  • Quote

    Collingwood's 2016 First Rounder is going to GWS for Treloar as well. And we wouldn't get that anyway. They're not going to give 9-12 next year for Howe.

    We need to go after a player on the Pies list that walks into our best 22. Not the fringe players they will offer us like Kennedy, Broomhead or Sinclair.

    We don't seem to have any interest in Seedsman or Freeman, so I'd start by asking for Marley Williams or Tom Langdon, and I'd settle for Brayden Maynard.

    Brayyyyyyyyyden Mayyyyyyyyyyynard

    Posted something similar a few weeks back. I would like to get Maynard or Langdon...time for them to give up something decent.

    No of course not But I felt better saying it.

    I think we will get a reasonable deal out of the Pies not as good as GCS perhaps but ok.

    If the deal about prestia was true tell Gold Coast to trade him for pick 6 and we let Howe slip to PSD Then they have a fair chance of grabbing him as they have pick 3, would need Carlton and lions not to obviously

    So that complicated trade chip is still with one of the players in that complicated trade...

    Look, either you are being sold something dodgy, or you're selling it.

    Seriously GNF, why raise something like this when we know that pick 3 is out of the equation?

    Yeah you haven't convinced me on Maynard at all.

    Oxley has literally played 3 good games in his career and is 3 year older.

    Maynard has played just as well and is tougher, better skilled, a better natural footballer and scope to play midfield. He is Hodge-like.

  • Quote

    Another thing He said was there had been no talk to anyone about Dawes or Watts. ( excuse me if someone mentioned that earlier )

    I don't think he would be worth a top 10 pick let alone a top 3 where there are better players available

  • Quote

    Gut feel is JM is [censored] off because pick 3 was to be used for something big. Howe's change of mind has thrown other plans into disarray. No idea how Collingwood can better, let alone match what GC had offered. Particularly with Treloar and Aish in their plans.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
