Are we done now?

Is this the end of our trade period?

With the acquisitions of Tomlinson & Langdon and the departure of Sam Frost I haven't heard our name being bandied about amongst any of the other tradable targets. (with the exception of Sam Murray as a delisted free agent).

So are we done now?

    Feels like this is how we roll most years. We get our targeted deals done about 3/4s of the way through and then sit back and see if anything else comes up for us. Most times is seems like that's it, but never know. Gut feel is we'll do the pick 3 split, but might not get anymore player trades done.

    I’d put good money on us not going into the draft with pick 3.

    Agreed Beets, 

    We've got Langdon, Tomlinson and still a pick in each of the first three rounds

    for Frost

    I think Mahoney can't sit back comfortably and wait for teams to come to us.

    Interesting we have pick 26 which will trump the dogs now in dealing for bruce.

    Does anyone have an updated list? Considering 3 picks in the draft, how many spots are left to be filled?

    I'm still holding out hope for something in the forward half to eventuate.

  • Quote

    No idea if we're done or not, but so far:

    • The in's; Tomlinson, Langdon, pick 26, Pick 50, R2 2020, R4 2020,
    • The out's; Frost, Pick 22, Pick 42, Pick 61, Pick 79, R2 2020, R4 2020

    Net effect:

    Ins:

    • Tomlinson
    • Langdon
    • Pick 26
    • Pick 50

    Outs:

    • Frost
    • Pick 22,
    • Pick 42,
    • Pick 61
    • Pick 79

    4 in, 5 out. Maybe splitting pick 3 will be the balancing item?

    Edited by TRIGON
    Forgot about pick 79

    My understanding is If we take the minimum 3 from the draft we have no senior list spots available. Therefore if we want to get anyone else in or take an extra draftee, we will have to trade or de-list either Stretch or JKH who are currently out of contract.

    Thanks HBG. I reckon that means we're not officially done yet. We've kept those 2 spots up our sleeve in case something else comes up.

    So am I FTB but don't hold your breath Good KPF's are rare beasts.

    I think we will have to go into next season with the NQR's that we used in 2019.

    5 spots available:  4 Out: Garlett, Maynard, Lewis, Frost plus 1 unused list spot from 2019.

    2 spots taken:  Tomlinson, Langdon.

    3 spots available for draftees or more recruits.

    Stretch and JKH OOC and still unsigned so potential for more list spots.

    Will shortly update the Contracts thread pinned to front page of this forum.

    If anyone has the length of Langdon's contract please let me know.

    Going by what Mahoney is saying, we are not finished.

    When asked about the Frost trade he said they looked at it and Langdon as a package and said "keeping our draft hand was important for what we want to do during the trade period"

    Sounds to me like we're not finished yet

    would be good to have a list of who they are (as they become known)and when is the PSD draft.

    Seems that Murray is possibly the pick of the bunch for a one year contract but I must confess to knowing little about who is available.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
