    Clickbait from Trade Radio to get more clowns to listen and/or phone up. Probably get a heap of Saints flogs sooking that Brad Hill is 'theirs'.

    It's an absolute joke this year trade.

    They need to have it no more then a week, get deals done,and move on. 

    The AFL don't do things right, it's a shambles.

    It's all about dominating the news cycle 24/7, 365. No other sporting competition anywhere has this obsession.

    Would we consider pick 6 and GWS’ 2020 first round pick for pick 3? 

    This is the deal I'd be looking at if they are only offering Bonar. Maybe even pick 3 plus our 3rd for 6, 2020 1st and Bonar. I'd then be chatting to the Dogs about swapping either our or GWS 2020 1st for their 1st this year. The Dogs have a gun academy kid next year so will be making move to get extra points for 2020.

    We could then potentially hit the draft with 7 plus 14/15 (both likely to be moved down 1 or 2 spots with academy picks - Green for sure, maybe if we get those picks we tell Freo we'll bid on Henry early and they then accept a future 2nd for Langdon instead of this years!) and still have a first round next year.

    Surely we have some sort of deal already worked out with GWS, otherwise what was the point of them moving down to pick 6.

    This was my thought too. Pick 6 unlikely to be enough but will get Mahoney to the negotiation table. He specified top 10 was requirement when splitting 3. 6 ticks that box. Looking forward to see what comes with it. Wondering if they'll get another club involved still. Both us and gws are already dealing with the Hawks.... 

    Would Hawks part with pick 11 too get all 3 of Patton, Frost and Bonar? Would likely require some late/future pick shuffling.

    To answer my own question: No, not likely but just for fun  

    GWS:

    Out 6, Patton, Bonar In: 3

    Hawks:

    Out: 11 In: Patton, Frost, Bonar

    Dee's:

    Out: 3, Frost In: 6, 11

    Man it's too early for crazy trades

    We'd  need to include more picks. Maybe give Hawks our 2020 2nd and pick 47

    Then trade pick 6, 22 and 2020 3rd for Langdon and Hill?

    Are GWS in a worse position points wise after that trade? If so that would strengthen our hand. They really need 3 to make it worth it

    Yes, 12 & 18 are worth more, points wise, than 6. So you would assume GWS are trying to get our 3

    Yep, lets see how bad they want it...

    This is where we can stand a bit firmer

    EDIT The St. Kilda trade for pick 6 is a cat amongst the pigeons in all of this

    I'd be saying we need pick 6 & another within top 15 or no deal.

    Or alternatively 6 and Caldwell or Hateley.

    They need pick 3, we don't need to trade it.

    GWS want pick 3 to get a player in before anyone bids on Green.  Could we be involved in this

    Sydney: Get Daniher, future 3rd pick  out Pick 5 and Papley

    Carlton: Get Papley and Pick 26 Out Pick 9 and 43 

    Essendon: Get Pick 3 and 43 Out Daniher

    Melb: Get 5 and 9 out 3 and 26 future third round pick

     

    We go to draft with 5, 9 and 50, keep Round 1, 2 and 2 x 4th rounders in 2020 and add Langdon/Tomlinson

    What's this got to do with GWS though?

    Nothing it is another option outside getting Pick 6 plus something, really all they can offer us is future first rounder which really will be 10-18 or a player.  Or we get involved in other deals to try and get 2 top 10 picks for this year

  • Quote

    Pick 6 and the proceeds from Bonar / Patton trades for pick 3.
    Come on GWS, roll up your sleeves and get it done.

    Remember - if our trade with GWS is a pick swap ONLY then we can do it after the trade period ends.

    No need to man the panic stations with minutes to go on Wednesday.

    It would be interesting to see a list of assets from our end that would compliment pick 3 well enough to trade down to pick 6. 

    I personally wouldn't mind (excluding superstars who we'd clearly want)

    Finlayson

    Williams 

    Caldwell

    Hill

    2020 first round pick 

    Daniels

    It would take me 0.00000004 seconds to accept Zac Williams and 6 for 3. Sadly it will not be a possibility.

    I agree, they wouldn't even think about it, but i also think we'd be silly not to ask

    I was thinking Daniels would be a good fit. But would we ask for more? Hill only just signed not long ago, so I doubt we would get him.

    The Dogs have a top 10 Academy pick next year.

    Would we do 26 and next year round 2 for the dogs pick13??? 

    Gives us our 2nd low pick while keeping 3 and gives dog points for next year??

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
