Thought this one was going to get done 'early'?

Quote

Melbourne has also progressed in talks to secure Gold Coast rebounding defender Kade Kolodjashnij in a deal involving a future third-round pick.

That sounds about right to me. Still think it waits until the May deal, both clubs will want to work the little trade around the big trade.

Gold Coast must have academy kids they want the picks for next year.  Good result for both parties.

We make off like bandits


I just hope that Hoges stays with the Dee's. We need him. He's had a tough time the last 2 years.  Thing is, sometimes you have to stop and think what a person

Future 3rd round pick? Sounds like an absolute steal to me.

Does this mean we can't trade our future first round pick??

Doubt it, as the AFL have come out and said they won't be strongly enforcing future trading rules for a year or two yet, so long as it gets the tick of approval by what's his name (Ken Wood), then anything goes.

suntan terry was saying the other day you have to use one first rounder across the course of five years - no idea when the afl made the change or announced it

I'd imagine that one of the picks we got today (62 or 65) will probably be used.

They have 5 picks under 29 (2,3,19,24 & 29) and no academy kids coming through, so I'd think they'd prefer to bank some points for next year.

That's a fair call. Given the events of today I think this will get done first thing Monday.

Agree.  It will send a signal to Freo that we are ‘out’ of the bs deal and that there is no trade for May.

Maybe once we recruit him we should call him Special K

Horse?

The way Mahoney talked about this trade, it seemed to certainly be linked to a hypothetical Hoan trade.  

Now that that has fallen through (and hopefully we won’t be returning their calls) I think this trade should go through fairly quickly.  

Both teams seems to be dealing on good terms.

But Mahoney is no good in your eyes? How’s the hangover?

Need to get it done. KK will be a good addition 

If you're sure that we're announcing the deal Monday, why post later that we 'need to get it done', as if it won't get done on Monday and there's a chance the deal may not go through at all?

    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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
