I also think Josh Mahoney's media performances neatly find the right balance between telling the truth but not necessarily the whole truth. That's important both for members and supporters to know what's going on but also to enable him to keep his powder dry should other opportunities arise.

Yes that was my take LD.  Very media savvy is Mahoney.  Tells you how it is without telling much at all.

You think? This trade looks ridulously one sided. We have no second rounder for no reason and It’s quite reasonable we finish back in the pack next year, with North benefiting greatly. 

For the board to agree to do this gives me little faith. 

We traded our second rounder for Ed Langdon, which is a superb use of that pick.

And next year’s pick 18 in a weak draft is not nearly as good as pick 8 in this year’s draft.

I reckon it’s really astute.

We lost pick 26 in this weeks draft. We have no second and third rounder. 

 

Since the end of the trade period, things have understandably quietened down. I’ve heard lots of clubs covered on the radio shows but nothing lately from Melbourne or from Josh Mahoney himself. Wondering if anyone has heard him lately.

What a misconceived statement - if you understand governance it is not for the board to interfere or approve list mgt deals - if you really think our list management is poor how did we go from prob the worst list five years ago to arguably the best list which btw has already been improved over trade period and with picks 3 and 8 to come, all in the space of 5 years.  If the list mgt team is the problem do you reckon board CEO etc would have done something?  Of course they would have just look at the track record

  • 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.

  • 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?
