has the club considered giving up pick 3 for Hill ?

And 900k a season for 6 years? I bloody hope not.

Fremantle up to their old tricks. 

 

Freo are predictable and deserve to be dealt with accordingly.

 

 

StKilda are in a tight spot as they've offered him a massive contract (cash and years) and he's contracted to Fremantle.

With that said, I would have thought pick 6 (with perhaps a swap of later picks was fair enough).

 

 

Seems like Freemantle is getting a taste of their own medicine after spliiting their picks we were after for Jesse last year. The vindictive side of me is pretty happy about this, although the dockers can just keep hill if they aren't happy with those picks from the saints.

I wonder if this means we'll deal with giants for 6 and something?

i reckon we'd be better off just taking it to the draft.

 

I think the obvious move is to go for freo's 2 first rounders for our pick 3. Say 3 for 7 and 18 :) - suits our needs best, but they would want something in return. Or go 3 for 7 and langdon (probably we win that one) or 3 for 12, langdon and a later 3rd round pick).

St Kilda shafting Freo is my favourite move of the trade period. We could land Bontempelli from here and it couldn't get better than that ?

Melb get Hill, Langdon 7,26

Would love Brad Hill. Should we start a gofundme page for donations?

If we have the money, should we go all out for Hill with pick 3? He’s exactly the type of player we need.

Freo wanted  pick 6, a future first rounder and a third rounder for him. Can't see him being traded for pick 3, and not sure we have the 900k to lure him to us anyway.

 


They were suggesting on trade radio that 3 should get it done. We also have the Elliot money left over. Also, Bell seems the type to hold a grudge, so might want to deal with someone other than the saints to make a statement.

He's not worth $900k a season. Maybe $700k.

Too expensive on the books for mine. Langdon will do us well at a lesser expense

On trade radio, they were suggesting 3 & 22, for Hill & Langdon. Would be great having one on each wing.

If we could split the 3 into a 6 and say a 10, we could give Freo the 6 for Hill and use the other in the draft. We would be under no obligation to offer the ridiculous coin that the Saints have. Although, do we need both Hill and Langdon?


I feel that we still need a gun pick up from the draft, tho’.

IMO the less we have to deal with Freo, the better. I’d like to get the Langdon deal done and not have to put up with any of their [censored]. 

Their St Kilda demands are pathetic. They did a similar thing to us last year as what Saints are doing to them with their early pick. Total hypocrisy 

Please merge with Brad Hill thread...

I don’t think Freo would accept say just a 6 for Hill, but would accept 3. Also, I think if we could get 2 top 10 picks from GWS we would take them to the draft. I also think we do need both Hill & Langdon, one on each wing.

My only problem is why did we recruit Tomlinson then? He’d have to move either forward or back and probably completely changes why he was recruited in the first place. Also Freo were demanding 2 1st rounders for Hill. How is that going to get both Hill and Langdon done? We’d be selling the farm to get both done and paying out the a for Hill. We need to be saving this money for a decent forward

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
