Agree.

The war is the premiership.

The battle is the trade period.

A single trade is an engagement.

So long as everything is driving to winning the war the other parts don’t matter in isolation.

Who knows if we have the right strategy. Time will tell.

This. Exactly.

Not the worst trade but surely we could have done something more creative and got pick 11 will a swap of later picks, would have been nice to see some high end talent come in from this draft

Good work MFC. 

Now to get some players in who WANT to be here. 

Will be interesting to see how many dummy spits Hogan has with the FREO midfield delivering the ball to him. 

It will be very interesting how he goes next year.

Watch every other club in the league circle our midfield over the next 3 years.

"Melbourne give up their stars for peanuts. Let's give Clayton, Angus and Christian a call, surely we can get em for a second round each."

We'd better get on with winning next year's premiership so I can live with Jesse nabbing the Colemans in 2022-2025.

You know it's a good deal when the usual posters are the ones melting down, while the rest see this deal for what it is.  Always comforting.

You are the biggest suck job, sycophant on this board. You're not Glen Bartlett are you, backing in his employees?

Please enlighten me as to why we included pick 65 in the deal, and how pick 6 has any value to us if it is going straight to GC. We would have been better having 11 and 19, and sending 11 to GC.

And you're the biggest waste of space on the board, posting negative tripe every chance he gets.  Works both ways, you big sook.

What has he done to be worth more than 6 and 23?

When has he put together an uninterrupted season? (not counting Casey as a 17 YO)

When has he absolutely dominated a game?

How many B&F's?

He is not without risk.  He is a talent, and has potential.  Lets just take what we can get, and move on.

Average trade. We paid overs for Lever and have let Hogan go for unders. Lucky the list is in such good shape otherwise, as we've proven to be weak at the trade table when the big deals need doing.

I think there's some internal inconsistency in this post. How is it that our list is in such good shape if we are weak at the trade table?

So Freo this trade period
Gain - 14 and some later pics, Hogan, Lobb, Conca

Lose - pick 6 and Neale

They've smashed it. They've landed Hogan and Lobb AND still got a pick int he first round. We've been poor by comparison. Disappointing.

Freo have been absolutely desperate for a key forward .. we DID have leverage before we came out and admitted we're happy for him to go home and we need the deal to get done for May... Amateurish

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
