Apart from Sizzle I don't really think the Dorks have much we need, given they'd want overs for anyone they trade out. Maybe Gunston, or young Burton looks good. Tom Mitchell won't go anywhere, neither will Roughy.

We got Lewis for a late pick. I'm happy with that from them.

    Yep, definitely need more small forwards who go missing when the going gets tough. Soon we'll have a whole list full of them. Next.

    The guy has done the following:

    2012- 39 goals (regular season)

    2013- 37 goals

    2014- 53 goals

    2015- 45 goals

    2016- 43 goals

    2017- 9 goals (on track for 33 at 1.5 a game)

    If you don't think that would be handy for our side then you've got no idea.

    It's a mute point anyway as was discussed he has already re-signed.

    With clubs like the Swans and Hawks languishing down the bottom of the ladder there is a chance we might be able to pick up a handy player on the cheap.  Those clubs may look to refresh their lists and we could possibly be the beneficiaries of this.  Who are those players?  I have no idea, but I have no doubt the club will be monitoring the situation closely.

    My favourite bit of this was "I know he is a downhill skier, but he is genuinely good downhill skier". How good is it to be able to talk about guys who are downhill skiers and bringing them into the club rather than getting rid of them?????

    He is going to cost draft picks and the only way I want us using a draft pick on a trade this year is for a KPP, ready to go mid (e.g. Kelly, Whitfield, Hopper, Kennedy), or trading for a future 1st rounder. Now to find the next Hawthorn to trade with.....

    Personally... I would be looking at our 1st rounder for Isaac Smith...

    makes sense .. a variant on the GWS methodology

    Underscores how stagnant we have become that when we clean out our older players Dunn etc we have to give them away if not pay someone else.

    Hawks have given away their first and second round picks this year so definitely they'll be looking to trade back into the draft. They've done it before offloading players like Hay and scoring big time so they'll try to do it again.

    The main problem is their best are ageing. Hodge, Gibson even Roughy are last legs options. Besides Roughy should stay for sentiment if nothing else- he is a heart and soul character.

    Frawley? Ha ha.

    I don't want Cyril - great highlight reel but does not get enough of it. He is icing only. Age is catching him and Poppy too. Breust I'd have but as discussed is locked in.

    For mine that only leaves Gunston as a target. His kicking is off atm but he is a class act. Otherwise don't touch them.

    Not at 29 going on 30 next year...

    With Lewis as the precedent then maybe a pick in the 80's should do it.

    I'm keen but 1st round is a little too high.

    He will turn 29 at the end of the year and he relies on his pace so he's got a limited lifespan in the game.

    Our 2nd might be enough nearly be though.  Maybe plus ANB - there was some scuttle last year in the Lewis trade that he was in the Hawks sights.

    Looks like "free kick, Hawthorn" is lost from the lexicon. good.

    Yikes!!

    Forgot he was a mature-age recruit.

    Point taken.

    I'd look to Sydney personally surely they have ongoing salary cap pressure and underperforming is going to be difficult to manage. 

    Sam Reid?

    Has Mills re-signed? I know it's a long shot, but a young leader, hard, great user off half back, will eventually be able to roll into the midfield. If he is available, I'd offer him a 5-6 year deal and maybe a first rounder or two. Though maybe we have more pressing needs such as composure in the KPB position...

    Re-signed at Hawks to 2021 in March.

    Oooh, isn't Bruest normally the really accurate one?

    Kicked wide there!

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
