Unless you’re the Suns and you’re given a priority pick to keep mates together...

I did think of that, although no one says Rowell is asking for that.

    Have we convinced Martin yet? I’m not a huge fan but I can see him being a staple if he comes on board.

    Martin

    Bennell

    Tomlinson

    Langdon

    All these guys are quite simply a massive injection of the outside speed and class that we have craved for so long! 
    Why split any picks if you bag 4 players like this? Tell the other clubs to stick it and get some very good kids.

    I hope we’re backing ourselves to convince Martin to join us.

    I am sure we have tried and Bennell may help if he is mates with Martin.

    However, all the signs currently point to Martin joining Visy mob.

    With a year to run on his contract, James Harmes signing of a 5 year contract is evidence we are freeing up some room in our cap to make a big play this year. 

    I believe the Dees will take Martin in the PSD and trump Carlscum with Bennel also coming as a DFA.

    I hope not. It's big $$$'s for someone that has never really done anything.

    I believe Martin can be a very good player. He will go to another level which ever club he lands at. He is only 24 so has plenty to give.
     

    I would expect he plays half forward with stints in the midfield. Capable of easily being a 40+ goal kicker.

    Just a gut feel or something you’ve been informed? Players normally end up where they want to go, at $1.5mil for two years, he’s going to end up at Carlton. Anyone who hopes differently is going to be disappointed.

    Where did the $1.5M come from?

    Has it actually been reported?

    It would stretch Carlton just as much as us you’d think. 
    I think it’s a load horseshit.

    Hope this true. I also believe that he will go to a new level in a different environment.  Would mean our trade period has addressed most of our run/skill levels concerns.

    I wonder if North are regretting their pick trade now that we could land both Bennell and  Martin?

    I gotta say for the rumoured coin he’s asking for I would be passing on him. I don’t know if Melbourne is playing games with Carlton, almost trying to rule themselves out publicly so Martin doesn’t nominate a stupid amount of money and then we swoop. 

    I’d say I’m 50/50 on him, if we get him then great. I won’t lose any sleep if we pass on him though.

    I believe is my gut feel! No Sauces! ? 

    The Dees have a 5 year plan to win a Premiership! I think we are heading into year 4 or 5. They will pull the strings they need to achieve this success!

    We sacrificed Pick 6 and $$$ to land May. We paid overs to get Lever, trading away 2 first round draft picks! We will do the same with Martin $$$, however get him for free... The Dees will and should be ruthless in there approach. The time is now!
     

    Langdon, Tomlinson, Martin & Bennel along with Picks 3 & 8 is a significant step in the right direction.

    What would that have to do with the pick trade?

    That pick wouldn't be used on either of them.

    Meaning that we’ll be an obviously better side and win more games with those two players added (should Harley ever be fit again), delivering Norf a worse pick than they were expecting

    Oh yes I forgot about that. Hope you are right. Would love to have given North pick 18.

    I'm not sold. Potential is such an ugly word. At 24 he should be established, and when he puts a big price on his head and noms a club, I say let him go there. Daisy MKII.

    He hasn't had a single game in his now 6-year career where he's been BOG or at least turned a game on its head (e.g. Daniel Rioli).

    Send Daniel Rioli to the Suns and see how many games he wins off his own boot. Martin is a gun and comparing him to Rioli is an insult.

    Dunno about an insult but you're right, players like this are icing on the top, they don't thrive in bad teams (cue 'why is he coming to Melbourne then' comment).

    Fact is good players are better in best teams because the better quality players in the team are opposed to the best players , so they will get a lesser quality player to oppose them in the opponents team

    Because he's not coming, it's quite simple really. 

    People need to actually start accepting that he's never coming to us. He's hellbent on Carlton and that's it.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
