Whilst we are all in the mathematics of trying to improve the team, we should see how we can really engineer a coup. Let’s trade both Tom McDonald and his brother Oscar McDonald to the Suns. The Ballarat boys would love the sun and surf.  They both have frustrated the hell out of me and I’m yet to be convinced they would be up getting premiership medallions on the big dance day. 

What would the disparate and desparate Suns give?  Ben King and pick 40 (start of 3rd round).

why not see what rebuild we can truly deliver

Yes. I know. It’s like all the trades for Brayshaw, Petracca, Viney.  Ridiculous isn’t it.  Yet we have pages of pages.  I think Gawn and Oliver might be the only safe ones if you read demonland.  Crazy times and crazy posts ahead.  

 

Have heard GC have inquired about Harmes. 


Bloody hell. This off-season is shaping up to be as painful as the season proper if these recent threads are anything to go by.

 

Can we have a special unique, bizarre thread where people only post actual news or at least rumours of substance.

Give this thread three pages and people will be talking about how the McDonald's are disgruntled and want out and Tom only played badly this season because he was put of by Mahoney eyebrows.

There is merit to this trade. Basically Tmac for Ben King so we get a forward for next 12 years.

Secondly we clean up pick 40 for OMac which gives us an overs return for him. 

We have all seen Tmac struggle being the #1 forward for a season now so his value will further drop if he is proven to be consistently bad as the main focus point.

The voices in your head chatting away again? 

Rubbish thread. We need KPFs, and he’s the only mature one we’ve got. Had a poor year by his standards, but is probably in a handful of who are off limits.

Yes, you did mention it at the top of the thread. I hope we politely refused and pointed them toward the closest surf beach.

It might be easier to have a thread for players we aren’t going to trade. 

Let’s be honest.  We are suffering from DDSS.  DISAPPOINTED DEMONS SUPPORTERS SYNDROME.  

A shocking mental disease that cripples it’s sufferers.  Leaves you mentally on the edge

Hahahaha lets just bloody trade everyone. 

hearing we are going to sign jeffy again just so we can trade him

Unless we are in prime position to pick up another FF this can't be done. We already looked impotent going forward, Tom had a god awful year, while Weids didn't develop and also had injury concerns. 

We cant trade out one of our pillars unless we are guaranteed to get one back that is ready to slot straight in.

I’m a fan of Harmes so I hope there is nothing to it. Can see him being part of our next premiership.

Not sure what's worse the trade part or the suggestion two blokes from Edenhope in rural Victoria would like to live on the GC

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
