Don't even get in his ear. Let carlton think they can get him via the psd. 

Then let him and carlton know he is ours when Mahoney reads his name out.

    This would be an absolute bonus pick up, we should seriously consider 3 years at around 400k.

    This would be a steal.

    Apparently GC offered Martin + 15 for 9, but Carlton refused.

    9 + a future second.

    Anyone know what his contract demands were with Carlton? Aparently he was very excited about playing with Betts, maybe Lord Nev needs to make a phone call and tell him he can train against the best small defender in the game and hone his craft! ?

    Take him in the PSD. Would be the perfect end to a successful offseason if that occurred!

    Play him at half forward as the kick inside 50 and stealing a few goals. Perfect fit for us with a bit of agility, pace, and great kicking skills.

    Make it happen Dees!

    The 3 AFL 2019/2020 priority picks allows GCS the luxury of possibly losing Martin for zip.

    I'm glad they played hardball - it sends a strong message.

    Yep agreed I couldn't believe the "experts" were rating him as a mid 20s pick. Surely a pick around 12-18 is what was needed to get him over the line. 

    Carlton fans surely will be fuming, I'm sure a 35 year old Betts might get a goal of the year nomination for them.

    Does anyone know what sort of coin he was asking for at Carlton?

    This would actually be so amazing and the biggest FU to those carlscum supporters if we nab him in the PSD. 

    Here's hoping he is good mates with May and or KK.

    I don't understand how the Blues would not accept Martin and pick 15 for pick 9?

    Especially when you've gone down the route of offering a deal and telling Martin you want him at your club. If I was Jack Martin I would be seriously pi**ed.

    Say what you want about Mahoney, at least when we chase players we make sure to get the deals done, even if people feel we pay slight overs.

    I really hope we can use Carlton's ineptitude against them and lure Martin to the Dees.

    I think they needed pick 9 for papley. 

    Bad luck Carlton, you missed out on both.?

    True. But surely when it becomes obvious that deal is dead in the water you get something done.

    Apparently that report was incorrect and it was Martin and 15 for 9 and a future second. Which is fair enough to knock back.

    Martin for free would be a dream result, but you can bet Carlscum will do some salary\contract manipulation to scare us off

    Havent been around for the frenzy his arvo. Can someone explain his situation and how likely it is we’d be able to get him. Is he a chane to go through the National Draft or am I wrong in assuming that

    I think a lot people on here are trying to figure that out, GC intimated to the Blues that they would redraft him if the deal fell through so GC and Martin/his management will be the biggest obsticals. I'm not sure how it works with the draft, I believe he can nominate for either the National or the Pre Season Draft but who knows how it will play out from there.

    Let's not get too excited as of yet. Martin has to verbally say he wants to commit to us before he nominates for the pre season draft.

    He could also be delisted and be picked up as free.agent by the blues.

    I personally think that's pretty fair.

    That 2nd round pick will probably end up around 30.

    That would value Martin around pick 18.

    Even if the 2nd round pick is 25, it still values Martin around pick 15.

    I agree it's unlikely, but you never know.

    I highly doubt the Suns will re-draft him now.

    Surely there is zero reason for GC to do that, if they want to make him an example of a new found stoic nature with trading out their players they will make the route for Martin as difficult as possible. Otherwise what's the point of standing their ground at negotiations.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
