I am hearing that this deal will be done but maybe not till later in the trade period. The trade will hinge on a couple of other deals that might eventuate. As seems to be the case with all thee things.

If we rate him as a mid-to-late 2nd rounder, no point trading pick 22 to Freo when pick 29 might come into our hands through trade. No rush on this from our end, although Freo will be pushing.

    Hopefully we can get the Hawks 2nd round pick for Frost and pass that along. Pick 22 has a lot of value

    Surprised that anyone thinks we would downgrade pick 21 and offer a later pick for Langdon.

    He is worth every bit of that.

    He might be. But Freo did the same to us last year with Hogan.

    Apparently he still hasn't even told MFC he wants to come here. We've been talking to him for a year, trade weeks started and no decision on even coming over.

    Mmmm, I think he will come and the 'announcement' is irrelevant- there is also a gut feel that perhaps its about Freo and Melbourne sorting out what can be done  with Gus, as part of this...

    Yes, I was going to put a qualifier in there about dealing with Freo, but Mahoney sounded fairly positive as opposed to last year when his frustration was more than apparent, given Bell's antics.

    Are we sure, in this day and age, that someone called Jourdan Canil is real?

    An update from Melbourne

    Melbourne's general manager of footy operations Josh Mahoney has confirmed that Collingwood's Jamie Elliott won't be coming to Melbourne.

    He also confirmed Adam Tomlinson (GWS) and Ed Langdon (Fremantle) have nominated the Demons as their club of choice, and that Angus Brayshaw is not wanted by the Dockers.

    Righto. 

    Explain to me how we caved in getting Lever and May across the line. The two biggest traded names in the last two seasons.

    Remembering that Treloar was worth two first rounders for Collingwood. Shiel worth two first rounders for Essendon. Prestia worth one first rounder for RIchmond and so on.

    People are saying this with hindsight of May and Lever being inured, which is ridiculous.

    Those two will still be massive for us in the next 3-4 years, Lever probably much longer.

    Was May and KK for 6 actually.

    Still to play out with May, but at the time, 6 for May and KK was seen by most non MFC fans as par

    It seems to me that no matter what Melbourne do, someone here will always find a way to turn it on the club.

    Have reasonable talks about potential trade = "The clubs caved."

    Take a tough stance about potential trade = "The club has no idea what they're doing! We have to give up x pick to get them!"

    PS. If the club had truly caved for whatever Freo wanted, Freo would be getting a first round pick.

    Mmmm ... I either keep those folk on for the hilarity, or block them if it becomes incessant...

    Now that we are not getting Elliott and if he stays at the Pies, they will probably need some salary cap space, with Grundy and several other big names wanting their fair slice, I wonder if we should target Tom Langdon and unite the brothers.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
