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.

    Yoko is the band getting back together? The rest of trade week is like watching paint dry.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
