This is the oddest time for someone to ask people to calm down. About to trade a former pick 1, generational full forward.

Except Hogan was never picked in the draft, :)

 

Freo haven’t officially pulled the trigger on Lobb because they’re waiting/hoping for the Dees to cave on pick 11. Think about it ...

 

Some strange ideas in this place.

Who caves first?

6 & 11 is more then fair in comparison to the other trades that have gone down or are going down.

 

Would also take 11 & Cerra

Whose body has let him down, in one fashion or another, ever since we drafted him.

He's a beauty, Jesse, but he's a liability in my view.

Any AFL Player is a second away from injury

a 23 year old Key Forward has years left...

 

talk of KK going separately, interesting

If Cerra is included in this trade i will be very happy, good news

Would be astounded if a player of his quality who only signed on a couple of months ago was kept completely under wraps by the media and both clubs to come out like this at the last minute. Just doesn't happen like that.

More likely that we manage to keep pick 6 and Brisbane trading May to us for a 4th rounder!

I can’t see either Bell or Mahoney backing down so it’s a standoff and Jesse stays.

Melbourne won’t cave on 11 unless GCS would accept it.

Pick 6 or 11 is irrelevant for Melbourne, it’s about facilitating May and KK deal.

Hogan is still contracted for 2019 so Melbourne can sit tight and not agree to trade as that outcome is still palatable.  This is precisely why this is the year to trade him if it’s going to happen.

I realise that, but he's got an extensive history of breaking down.

Jesse could go on for the rest of his career injury free, and good luck to him (personally) if he does.  But I have my doubts.

Steve May's manager Alex McDonald has just made his way to Marvel. Dees looking likely to get their man.

fingers, toes are crossed but I suspect a double-cross from Freo and Brizzy.

6 or 11 is relevant given the possibility of the earlier pick being traded into more picks or players than 11 could. Whether that happens is another thing. 


 

And there goes 19.

  • 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.
