If we can get 47, trade 29, 57, 68 and 47 to GWS for pick 15 (more points)

Unsure if this approach is still allowed, correct me if I'm wrong but GWS can no longer load up on picks for points.

They can only go to the draft with as many picks as they have positions on the list?

 

Also on topic, wish Dunn all the best and hope to see him get some valuable time in the seniors in the future even if it's for Collingwood. He's been great for the club and even more so in his role at Casey marshalling the troops.

 

Lynden, always loved your booming torps and respected you for your impeccable behaviour looking after the kids at club functions. My boy is also a fan. You'll be missed and I hope you get some good footy in at the pies.

Don't play frisbee with Howey.

If true I am happy for Lynden.

He is obviously not part of the present MFC game plan and he deserves a chance elsewhere. (Just wish it was somewhere other than Collingwood !!!)

 

bummer i liked dunny was a fav :(

Yep, I like Dunn. Disappointed he couldn't have been a one club player with us because his attitude towards this club was terrific, but I'm pleased he gets another chance.

 


Seems like a lifetime ago he was drafted with Bate, I've always been a fan.  Takes a certain man to sport a dirty mo like he did.  

Will hate seeing him in black and white.

47 for Dunn and 57 would be our best outcome I think

But agree more likely 65 or even 83.

Brisbane have nothing between 22 and 78 to offer for Frost.  We might end up with that 78.

I'd rather trade Dunn and a second or third round pick to Brissie for Rockcliff and pick 78 (and keep Frost)!

GWS can only go into the draft with the same number of picks as vacant spaces on their list, which is why clubs struggle doing those deals this year.

 

Could disguise a deliberate paddle out bounds from 30m inside the boundary line better than anyone.

Good luck Dunn!!! You played for us in some dark times, thank you for the service and good luck lining with Howe in the backline.

Loved the mongrel, loved the mo (before it was cool) and the loyalty. Thanks Dunny

Random fact: he was the first player who decided to sign a new contract with the Dee's when he could have left as a FA

Also first player to kick a supergoal?

I would have thought that was Wheatley

And I think poorly treated.

Sick of hearing this, how was he poorly treated? 

Still waiting for an answer from another poster as to how Roo's treated Grimes poorly.


Fox footy reporting we may pay part of his salary. On $300k+, and collingwood can't fit it in

Mickey - that's quite incredible if its true...

I was just thinking how good it would be to get him off our books and renegotiate some other players contracts to front load them a bit more.

We would want their third round pick if we are paying part of his salary.

 

Collingwood are shedding the contracts of Swan,  Cloke, Brown, Frost and Marsh, yet can't afford to pay Dunn under their cap? Makes the Wells and Mayne deals look more absurd by the day.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
