    How big is the go home risk? (Remembering that GCS have really struggled to keep players the last few years.

     

    GCS have to back themselves. If you’re going to  pass up on the opportunity to have a crack at the next Dustin Martin, Chris Judd or Nick Reiwoldt because you’re afraid they’ll leave in two years you may as well shut down the joint now.

    Unless as I said they receive an offer way too good to refuse. Will the SA clubs do that? Sell the farm to get these elite kids? We’ll know more by 8:30pm tonight.

    As an aside, watch the AFL increase the initial mandatory contract for all draftees in the top 20 to three or even four years soon. 20yo’s being enticed and lured by rival clubs before they’ve barely laced up a boot is a bad look for the game.

    hogan > neale

    6 + ?    > 6 +19

    or walk

    I genuinely believe hogan = neale.

    We do underestimate neale a bit imo.

    I think this has to be done.  Can't see a reason not to.

    No surprise we haven’t had many deals done yet when we decide to rock up to the office after lunch on the most critical day....

    key forwards don't grow on trees. neale may be good but good midfielders are aplenty, plus he's 2 years older

    call their bluff, freo are now hooked

    Looks like we wont make it to 400.

    Meanwhile, I wonder... all this talk of how the whole of trade period and every other deal is being held up by Freo... even trades that don't seem to involve Freo a whole lot like the Beams and Shiel trades...

    Have we just quietly been working behind the scenes to shift the story and put pressure on Freo to pull their tiny finger out?

    It's happening. Brace yourself folks. Will the servers survive if we get reamed? 

    Losing Hogan about to enter his prime is getting reamed but seemingly unavoidable. Obviously, we want to maximise the compensation, but unless we were getting an equivalent player in return it will hurt. May is serviceable and fills a need, but is not in the same class as Hogan and draft picks are speculative and are unlikely to have an immediate impact.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
