No sorry, he should hang up the boots.

Not only has he been cruelled by injuries, I'm not entirely sure he's the type built for the modern game. Seems like a goal square gorilla with a lack of tank.

I supposed it'd depend on what we give up for him.

I think he meant the Tom variety at Sydney.

    Wonder if it would be worth having a crack at McCartin?

    Only recently returned from America where he underwent some treatment, I'm not sure if he will play on.

    I didn't suggest he would.  Simply clarifying what I think Mach5 meant.

    If Paddy Mc Cartin plays again he is risking some serious serious damage.

    NO !!!! A game is not worth the potentiality of long term impairment and or worse!!

    That's fine, I just happen to know that he is going nowhere.

    Maybe many deals are already done and the AFL is waiting to drip feed them out in the next 48 hours to reach some 'excitement' during their live forecast on Wed evening.

    Altho 'excitement' and the commentators (Damian Barrett, Terry Wallace, Kane Cornes) seems an oxymoron!!   It will be like watching paint dry with a drone in the background!!

    Hadn't realised there was an accompanying TV event.

    I think your comment is no doubt correct. What a joke.But then again these same guys were responsible for AFLX 2019 !!!

    So other than our pick 3 the MFC trades were not considered TV worthy?

    To be fair DJ, a lot of our football this year wasn't TV worthy.

    Trade spin is interesting .

    Have been following the thousands of posts over on Bomberblitz about Daniher.

    The spin now is that Swans over promised Daniher about what they would trade to get him and that in fact it is the Swans who are being unreasonable.

    Mind you this is the club who still think they were innocent of an organised illegal supplement injection program for their whole team !!

    Would North roll the dice on Ben Brown? He's nearly 27 and they have a really nice group of young talent, maybe it's time they go for a proper rebound from a fairly stable position and build around Tarran Thomas, Larkey, Davies-Uniacke, Zuhaar, Simpkin?

    That said, re-singing Goldy and Higgins don't really fit with that plan. And whilst some coaches would've pushed for a rebuild I don't think Rhyce Shaw will.

    North have been ridiculously quiet so far this trading period. I thought Shaw might put his own stamp on the list and get a big name where they have deficiencies

    Now that Ben King is off the table (shattered), I'm not particularly interested in a likely KPF. I'd certainly take Gunston for a couple of years, but I think we need to be looking long term here. It would also depend on the cost for Gunston.

    It's looking like we should build a forward line around McDonald, Melksham, Fritsch, Hannan and some zippy smalls. A quick, mobile, dangerous forward line. Would love a bit more x factor than those names mentioned though.

    Harry McKay is the only other tall kid I'd love too, but that'll never happen.

    Yeah, so I hear. But it's likely we'll need a bit more x factor than one first year player.

    Posted this in the splitting the pick thread, but what about trying for Wright and Martin as a package. Wright in particular would be a nice addition and I've been wanting Martin for a while.

    Peter Wright is absolutely gettable...

    Playing NEAFL and he would be taking up some of there coin as well. 

    I think he is a good chance to comeback to VIC this trade period.

    GC have King, Lukosius, Sam Day, Jarrod Witts and now Zac Smith.

    2020 2nd Round Pick (linked to Hawthorn)?

    ? Yes the swans told them to ask for two first round picks and a player?

    Innocent as carlton not having any paper bags in the 80s

    Must admit in light of the Hogan trade last year 5 and 9 for a player who had played 6 odd games in two years does seem overs.

    The person I feel for is Daniher who obviously has some problems dealing with the mental pressure of football. (Not Robinson Crusoe in that.) This circus doesn't help him and most commentators agreed that a fresh start may be what he needed. So much for Essendon caring about player welfare.

    Get your hand off it.

    With that logic....

    Would you take a second rounder for Tmac?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
