Trade radio just said this is the deal

NM give BB, 28 and Future 4th

Melb give 26, 33 and future 4th

Happy with that. A really good trade. Now to concentrate on player development from existing stocks. Our existing boys deserve it, rather than be left to self-develop or fade away.

    Expecting a full Victoria Police investigation into this daylight robbery.

    Effectively we get Ben Brown for Preuss. What an absolute bargain.

    Kudos to Mahoney and co.

    I wonder...

    I reckon this might be a 'thank you' from North for the swapping of first round picks last year.

    This is what happens when you show you are willing to give a little to get a little.

    Other clubs should take note

    This is an incredible result if true - Mahoney has done it again!

    In terms of going after pick 14, probably means the Roos are still in the box seat.

    They now have 26, 30, 33.  We have 28 and 31.  Might go down to what they need to use on Stephenson.

    And if Stephenson goes, then it might open the door for a swap of TMac and Phillips

    Wright for a fourth rounder

    Tmac - no suitors

    Its a mugs game.  No logic at all. No market value, just value to trading parties

    For Cameron and Brown to be so far apart in worth is nuts.

    Brown's hair is far more marketable.

    Could be a riot at Arden street. North supporters losing their **** over this. Just hurts them more thinking they were getting either a first rounder or 2 second rounders. Well that’s what they were all saying anyway. Take time out and read the Ben brown link on big footy. Made me have a laugh and brightened my day

    Lets hope we get the 2017-2019 BB, not the 2020 version.

    Lol! Are there jumper manufacturers that could actually do this??

    If you google "afl simpsons jerseys" there are a few dodgy-looking websites that are selling them online (clearly unauthorised though). Up to you whether you trust them enough to hand over your credit card details.

    That's crazy good if true. 

    Even the 4th round steak knives are surely in our favour!

    Norf - death riding our future fourth now :)

    I've actually never met anyone who supports Norf. But jeez, I'd be shattered if MFC had done this to our list. I still can't understand what has gone down for Norf to flick him out of the Club for so little. It's not like they have cap space problems and they desperately need picks. Very strange one.

    I think their priorities may have changed when Stephenson became available,

    So cutting their losses to try and improve...

    We're looking at a potentially significant upgrade to the future 4th round pick here. We only have the Lions future 4th while they only have theirs. Could be swapping 72 for 55. Nice little bonus.

    Adel may be the biggest threat with dealing with WB for pick 14

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      The Demons head to the Red Centre to face St Kilda in Alice Springs, aiming for a third straight win to keep their push for a Top 8 spot alive. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. 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.
