first post in years. looks like we will have to get a deal done, a work colleague, she's a big dees fan, who's brother was in Bali with Jesse, from WA, good mates,  Jesse has said to him he will not sign a new deal with Melbourne if he isn't traded, he will walk end of next year, Freo are aware of this too, they just think his demands are too high. Sad really. So will it force us to take unders? Or Hold tight?  seems determined to go home.

 

Casey seconds might have a new power forward next year!! HaHa

If thats the case then i want him gone by 8:30pm tonight.

Don't want a bloke that has his heart set on leaving by round 1 next year.

See ya hoges.. enjoy life with Ross the boss

So let’s try and win the flag in 2019. It may change his mind

It's over, mate. He's gone. He'll be a Docker tonight. (speculation...)

Looks like Brisbane are about to trade pick 5 to Port for Pick 6 and player.

IF this is true what an absolute [censored]. 

We have been so accommodating to him, he will be at best a 35 goal per year forward at freo...

Actually scrap that with Neale gone and Fyfe will get his annual injury he will be lucky to hit 30.

Looks like #6 might have started its move.

So Port get Burton, Mayes and 2 x First Round Picks #5 & #15 for Wingard and Pick #6

And were struggling to get 1 first round pick for Hogan? What has the world come to?

He might wish to walk end of next but he will still need to be traded. I want him gone tonight.

They got up one spot so technically they received pick 15, Burton and Mayes for Wingard.

Yes and we lose a 23 year old contracted Key forward for a pretty poor deal...

 

So pick 6 and 15 for neale?? 

6 and 11 for hogan 

15 for lobb

Wingard the perfect Cyril replacement for the  Hawks.  They will never go away.

Oh well, guess we will just have to eliminate them from the finals again.  :laugh:

mmmm Shiel is just a bit over rated IMO....

I think May fills more of a need for us. 

 

I think we need another good midfielder over another key defender.

no chance... 6 & 30 something. 

1 minute ago, blue and red in the head said:

Which would mean pick 6 and 15 for Hogan, then Pick 6 for May.

JT goes to the draft with pick 15.

Loving it.

We're getting shafted.


For all Mahoney's talk of being happy to keep Jesse unless we get a deal up there with the best ever, we are about to capitulate and trade out the best young key forward in the game for significant unders, while in the premiership window. So frustrating and disappointing. For all the rubbish Bell has copped, he has actually done a bloody good job for his football club. Mahoney could actually learn a few things from him with regards to playing hardball.

Port have 15, so won't be part of Neale deal.

Hogan will be 6 and 23.

But we get that mid teen pick I suggested to be used on a Hibbard understudy from the west.

The latest 8 club mega deal coming up on AFL Trade Radio Facebook has us losing Hogan for May, KK and pick 23.  I don't mind that.  No idea of course of if it's complete fiction or close to the mark.

 


All talk outside of trade room is waffle.

Talk inside is the deal

Who here is privy to that ? SFA I'd think.

Wait and watch

We'll end up with a better list and that my friends is ALL that MATTERS

Over the years we have seen SO many supposedly poor deals, that end up nothing like what was rumoured.

Starting to heat up now. Refresh button set to "dynamic"

11 is better as dockers would have used that pick on him. Will be a gun

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
