If you look at Austin Bradkte Instagram account he seems to be pretty good mates with the Kings. 

Means nothing, they went to school together.

    His manager Paul Connors has come out today on trade radio and said that Ben wont be seeking a trade this year at all.

    Looks like we all agree. See post before yours 2 weeks ago.

    GC should make a massive play (with the AFL's help) on getting Max King rather than the other way around with respect to St Kilda trying to poach Ben.

    People are moaning about how bad this club has become but are not offering up any solutions on how to fix it. 

    Getting Max up there with a generous salary package (possibly outside the cap) would be a start

    Gil, will open his safe and say here boys how much do you want, whilst the Saints will get some draft pick as a cherry on top.

    My preference is for them to fold, the talent pool is spread to thin. However, if they must remain, the players they already have need incentives to stay. It’s clear already that priority picks and 18 year old draftees won’t be the answer, they’ll just leave after their initial two year contract if they’re any good. 

    The incentives don’t have to last forever, just until they can build a winning culture and players want to stay. So potentially 150 years or so.

    150 years seems fair to me.?

    Maybe they are the Tassie Devils in waiting.

    Yep, surely there can’t be 19 teams and a Tassie team will happen sooner than later. The Tasmanian Suns sort of doesn’t work. 

    Luckily our name being ‘Melbourne’ should save us from heading their with them, North or St Kilda to merge with the Suns and head to Tassie? (So we’re not off track here, Ben King will go to Tassie as well...)

    He won't seek a trade, but if we can satisfy the Suns with pick 3...

    If Kings that good trade Petracca for him and keep our early pick.

    Keep Petracca. Has more x factor and power than Gus or Viney. They're the ones you trade, but not for King. For other mids that can compliment Oliver, Harmes and Petracca. So good users by foot and those with a bit of gut-running and pace about them.

    I know the Suns wouldn't want to lose him but surely for them having picks 1,2 and 3 is a very mouth watering prospect?

    Give us King and she's all yours.

    He wants to go to saint's, to play with his brother.

    Sadly we have to go elsewhere.

    Why exactly would the Suns want pick 3 to draft an inferior player to Ben King? There's not a lot of logic there. They'll get a good pick or picks for him next year if he wants to leave, in the meantime they can improve a fair bit next year and try to convince him to stay.

    Seeing him sprint by Frosty in the GF sprint (with some quick players behind as well) shows he's a heck of a prospect and both he and Max could've gone picks 1 + 2 in a draft most years. From what I've Ben would easily go pick 3 in the draft this year, might even go pick 2.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
