    Dean Kent has been traded from Melbourne to St Kilda for pick 65.

    The fast but injury-plagued forward goes there on a three-year deal.

    Could have included Ben Long in the Deal. FMD.

    Rumour, Peter Bell & Fremantle FC are oxygen thieves, and are not worthy of being in the AFL. Ban them from next years trade period for constipating trades. Found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute and being total fwits.

    I’m happy about Wingard going to the hawks. So overrated. Never kicked more than 24 goals. Looks like a star a few times a year but is soft and lacks intensity. 

    I heard he wants a million a year?!? And trade would be one or two first rounders? 

    Madness!!

    Kicked 43 goals in his second year (2013)

    43 in his third (2014)

    53 in his 4th (2015)

    then in the last two years he has moved more into the midfield and has averaged over 20 disposals and a goal a game.

    Not saying I rate him at a million dollars a year but he's certainly not a bad player

    Hawthorn know how to get a deal done!

    Hawthorn did not appear well placed to satisfy Port in a trade for the dual All Australian given its first pick in this year's NAB AFL Draft doesn't fall until No.15.

    However, it's understood Port inquired about Burton's availability and the Hawks are prepared to include him in the deal.

    Freo should take a leaf out of their book.  Just get the deal done.  No fanfare, no grandstanding, no fuss!

     

    As an aside - seems another deal symbolic of the new order:  'if player not committed, trade them out the year before they become FA's!'  Clubs taking back some control.

    Wow. But only two years ago, Hawthorn were touting Burton as one of their star young leaders.

    Hawks fans are ropeable. Burton is a fan favourite and still only young.

    From Trade Lowdown.

     Jake Kelly is reportedly interested in moving to Collingwood from the Crows. 

    The guys on the show didn’t chat about it, spotted it on the news crawl.

    My understanding is his brother also might be at the pies this year.

    Not sure if he's father son, or just speculation

    Why? Should we have signed him on a 3 year deal worth double what we were wanting to offer him for 1? 

    Right. So you are saying accepting Pick 64 was a good deal?

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
