So much for Dorodo's big man talk that Essendon would 'hit the trade period hard'.  He likes to win the battles but ends up losing the war.  They gained Tom Cutler and Andrew Phillips and their first draft pick is #31. 

Carlton have also come away empty handed (well they have favourite son Eddie back).

Big trade fail for both clubs.

Hard to see either team improving much next year. :blink:

 

Just where we like them?

    Sun's could easily just delist Martin and Carlton take him as a delisted free agent.

    I can't see what's stopping Gold Coast and Carlton doing a trade of picks at any stage between now and the draft and then Gold Coast delisting Martin once that occurs.

    They can pretty much just extend the deadline until the draft. Clever.

    Why would that do that when the were at an impass at the trade table? 

    Even if they (and us) have no intention in taking him in the PSD they should make them squirm a bit 

    None of this makes any sense.

    Hahaha, so many auto correct errors on my phone then!

    I just meant why would GC delist Martin now & let him walk for free to the blues after their negotiations fell over. At least if he goes into the PSD the Blues will squirm a bit and will likely overpay him in terms of salary.

    Maybe we could recruit him early to teach Trac how to kick at goal.

     might pick him up with Freos pick if they bomb out :D

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
