Surely GWS would be desperate to get Pick 3 because of Tom Green.

I know he just extended but Pick 3 for Taranto? Grew up a Melbourne supporter. Is that just a pipe dream?

 

 

Seriously their B&F and best in the GF. Time to think realistically.

You can only ask, SKevs boy, inner Melbourne, Melbourne supporter ra ra ra.

 

Can only ask the question.

 

 

Looking like the Langdon deal might be more complicated than the Kelly one, which has already been completed.

Last i heard Lucas said discussions were going well and no hurry to seal this


Really surprised we didn't have a look at Howard from the Power 

surely an upgrade on Oscar down back?

Bonar is a strong bodied inside mid who has had 2 knee redo's. We have enough inside mids and dodgy knees for mine.

A witches hat would be an upgrade on OMAC. Harder to get around.

Don't people get sick of bagging Oscar?  It's such a bore. Last time I looked he played for us and hence we should support him.

Only so much you can do when you're the 17th placed team who trains in a dog park, shares the showers with a few other teams and hasn't won a flag for 55 years I guess...

All we can do I guess is aim for minimum 6 upgrades on last years list.

So far

PRO    Tomlinson

Cons  Frost

Why the f@#$ did we pick up tomlinson who is slow yet get rid of frost who is our quickest player. bloody stupid.

We've bloody lost the plot. we're the slowest team in the comp before this idiotic move. Not looking forward to seeing tomlinson hobble down the wing whilst he is trying to catch jaiden Stephenson or something. ffs

When did we get rid of Frost?

Still plenty to play out there, Doc.

These trade periods just drag on. Nothing really happens until the last couple of days. If not for the AFL wanting the publicity, we could do it in 3 days.

Or even just an original joke about him.

It's all predictable, repetitive and boring.

 


Well i must say i am totally underwhelmed by Melbourne's recruiting so far. The saints, Carlton, Eagles, and cats are all doing great while we tend our knitting in the corner. So many free agents and what we could only come up with two we were interested in, Elliott and Tomlinson. Did we really have such a good year and have such a talented list that we did not think it worth our time trading $'s instead of draft picks to pick up some much needed talent. Quite frankly this does not make me feel as if we are making much progress.

Hypothetical - would people trade Brayshaw in a straight swap for Brad Hill

Yes, but not for the 900k a year he has asked for.

How about $800k and Bell pitches in $150k each year on a three year deal?

No.

I would do 700-750k per year for him

Some are saying we wont fit under our cap but if we did $650k and the Dockers cover say $150k and get pick 3...i reckon they'd be more than happy with that.

We have Lewis, Stretch, Frosty, Bull Smith and JKH off the list already.

Imagine Hill on one wing and Langdon on the other.

Need pace. Hill is pace. Get Hill

well pick 6 and a second rounder is rejected. so we'd need two top picks to get the job done. Freo are impossible under Bell.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
