    Maybe not done in the last few minutes, but drip fed announcements in the last few minutes.

    All deals will have been signed off and will simply be ratified on the live telecast

    Whole thing is so tedious

    My question is, why aren’t other clubs falling over each other in a bid to get his signature?

    Look what happened when Mitch Clark was supposedly going home.

    Surely the answer is that he wants to go to WA if he leaves us.  That just leaves WCE who don't seem to have anything to offer and Freo who......

    I’d say no and yep.

     

    The club would not allow it if it did not give them time to complete the May trade, I don’t think we want the pick to take to the draft.

    Don’t think I have ever seen such a chat on DL where everyone agrees on one thing (Distaste to Freos/Bells amateurish trade strategies) and is unified.

    I'd say more probable. It's getting like this every year. Well... put it this way... if he does get to them this trade period, that'll be how it happens.

    Not sure if you're joking... is it for real being telecast? streamed somewhere? What can they show? Just people running back and forth with papers in their hands? If I have to watch that McLure guy another second I'm gonna puke.

    That's a good point actually. You would think though that Freo would have been made aware well in advance that that would need to be the case.

    Ah.. but could it be the AFL wanting young Belly to play the role of Black Hat Bart in its Wednesday evening drama.

    Could all of these supposed deals Neale/Hogan/Sheil/Beams/May/Wingard already possibly gone through and AFL is just stock piling the news for this TV presentation?

    What if Freo trades Neale in the last hour and offers MFC pick 5 and 11 for Hogan. MFC says that's OK and

     

    Jessie says no I have changed my mind.

    That would be grand to be honest.  :)

    Good. I hope he does. I watched Hogan as a junior and immediately knew he was the best key back since Hurley. Currently we are screaming out for a key back. The answer is slapping us right in the face.

    This actually movement, it will be helpful to get this done.

    If it's 11 for Lobb + 25, Freo may offer us 5 + 25 which is close enough to 5 + 23 for me

    If it's 11 for Lobb + 43 who knows what might happen.

    23 or 25 are not first rounders. Mahoney said 2 first rounders at the start of trade week. Talk of these trades is media speculation and nothing more. Wasting pick 5 on May is ridiculous.

    Got a quote of where he said that?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
