    AFL trade wrap today says talks are progressing between Freemantle and GWS for Lobb and suggested the following swaps could be on the cards.

    GWS give Lobb and Pick 14

    Freo give Pick 11 and Pick 23

    If that happens then I can see a trade happening for Hogan quickly with Melbourne receiving 5 and 14. We will possibly have to even out with some later pick swaps for Freo to be happy. Guess it's all dependent on Freo trading Neale and learning to not be a d!ck. So probably won't happen actually.

    Didn't we come out and say we would have taken 5 & 23 had Freo not pulled the pin on Friday? If Negotiations resume I can't see us now demanding 5 & 14 (as much as us supporters would love that).

    I'm not sure it was a smart idea for us to make that 5&23 claim in response to Bell's public tantrum. We probably did it to look like the sane and reasonable ones but it now might have damaged our position by showing our hand.

    Sorry. The list includes Oreos which by itself shows that the author lacks the experience, judgement and acumen to even know about a class biscuit like the Venetian.

    but did we actually make that claim, or a journo just quoting another social media rumour?

    Peter bell and Fremantle are right on the edge of turning the certain signing of a big fish into yet another missed opportunity all due to a breathtaking level of arrogance. 

    If this falls through it will not only make Fremantle the laughing stock of the Comp, it will cause huge bad blood between Jesse and freo given freo promised to offer that pick 5 or 6 at the trade table and so far have back flipped on that.

    Haha, to be fair it's until round 1 of next season. I believe that was the bet Binman? Also, Peter Bell would be worse

    Yes on both counts. And I have to say big respect for sticking with the avatar.

    Damien Barrett mentioned it when he and Wallace were ranting about the Freo and Bell Amateur Show. 

    He interrupted the show and said something to the effect of "we've just been told that Melbourne would have taken 5 & 23 and not the 2 first rounders. 

    Not 100% sure there is a direct quote but the way they put it it was as if it had come from the club.

    I wouldn't give that much credence.  Sounds like they didn't say who told them?  Unless it is a quote from a JM interview or MFC press release I don't believe anything.

    So if they are amateurs and do pointless things, does that increase the likleyhood it would affect our team?  Of course not. Unless you think we are amateurs too.

    Oi vey. I'm not saying it will affect our team. I'm saying Fremantle are amateurish and dumb enough to think it could.

    Nice try but not enough for the Crows to play along.

    They actually come out 63 point ahead if they accept the deal (not to mention a higher pick for one of the SA boys).

    Oreos are an abomination - as tasteful as the current POTUS.

    If you want further evidence of Fremantle being amateurs at the trade table under peter bell... look at their pursuit of Tim kelly. The guy who says he doesn’t want to go there. They needed to hold their nerve and jump in on the last day when things were tight to have any chance. Played that card wayyyyyy too early

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
