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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
