He certainly has a little crush on Frost. 

And a solid hatred of MFC.

What would the Hawks give us?

Hawks have Pick 11,30,50,87.

Pick 30 is about right I think , 50 is Unders of the back of his 2019.

This is where Mahoney and co need to be smarter when discussing our own players during trade week. Talk them up even if you don't rate them helps drive up the price. We suck at this

Hawks have (or will) used 50 for Patton. How TF do they get away with this. 50 for Patton 54 for Scully. Both former no 1 picks. Un-**********Believable.

It's a salary dump by GWS. They have an abundance of young talent and even more to come through their academy.

They didn't need either, so the Hawks take on their salaries and get to give up very little in picks.

For what it's worth, Patton is around a B- level of player, if that so I'm not too fussed.

You are either under 14 or insecure.

I truly believe umpires have biases; but to put out there, that professional journo has a 'solid hatred' without foundation is overstepping the mark by a long way.

 

Barrett sticks his neck out, and will get it chopped off if he is proven wrong.  Supporters have to realise that the people that have constantly praised every decision that this football club has made over the past 50 years, might 'love' the MFC; but history has proven that they were mad.

Give me the person that has invariably criticised the club and its decisions for much of the past 50 years, before the fact, and I call him (her) Einstein.


Gone. Pick 42, 61, Future 4th and Frost for Pick 50, Future Second Round Pick.

Deal Done

Frost& 42 & 61 future 4th

50 and Future 2nd.

Basically a second round pick for a depth player.

Big win for Mahoney

I have faith in Petty being able to cover lever as the intercept/ second tall - think a lot on here are underrating him :). But yes sad to see him go, hope we have fewer injuries next year.

Surely you jest?

Big loss for us.

If May and Lever can't get on the park again this year and O. McDonald becomes our main key defender then it will be a disaster.

Great result for culture.
If only you knew.

Very disappointing on both a rational and emotional level.

A failure of the coach and footy department.

So many reasons he should have been retained.  

I know not everyone is into the points like me, but with rough estimates of future picks etc this works out to us giving up Frost for pick 50.

 

Anyone got the points value of the trade? Future 2nd is obviously speculative, however I see Hawks being around that 6-10 mark next year


Think we got shafted again. Frost was improving as the year went on and we lose more leg speed.

This will give me great comfort when O. McDonald has five goals on him at half time on Ben Brown and May and Lever are sitting on the sidelines.

 

 

Future second for Langdon hopefully.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
