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?

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
