Sam McClure is reporting on trade radio that Freo are looking to trade him if possible. Obviously has had some troubles but has insanely good talent and would come super cheap. Worth a look for the right price?

    Sam probably read that on a fake Twitter account.  Much like what he reports.  He was caught out last week. 

     

    Take no notice of that peanut

    No.

    After further thought... absolutely no.

    I honestly believed he would become one of the best players in the comp. He looked every bit a star in the making. There wouldn’t be many takers now if any.

    One of the biggest wastes of talent in the last decade.  Probably part of the great legacy that Karmichael Hunt left at the Suns.

    Colin Sylvia would give him a good run for that title, maybe he was the decade before Bennell

    I'd eat a Sylvia Bennell [censored] sandwich for pick 5 & 6 though. Party in Bali on minimum afl wage for 3 years.

    Brilliant idea.  Sign up Bennell & Re rookie Sylvia.

    We have the culture to take on someone like this... but Bennell is too far gone for mine.  I don't think the best culture in the world could keep him under wraps.

    No from me too.

    Yeah he has had 7 seasons to get his body and professionalism right... no chance he makes it. Hopefully he goes to Carlton and makes them implode so they can dive deeper into illrelvance.

    I'd take him. Sure he has been a fruit loop and has had his fair share of injuries but he'd come for free so what's there to lose. I think our club is strong enough to handle him if he goes awol. He was one of the best players in the comp at his best so he'd be in our top 5 players if he got healthy.

    We’d have plenty to lose. You don’t want this guy and what he gets up to off the field anywhere near the club.

    Absolutely NO. The positive is, Freo are clearing up cap space.

    Not sure he would necessarily clear up cap space, having signed a new contract a month ago.

    it would be a breach of the no richard cranium policy

    It certainly would ....... May may be stretching that already.

    mutual agreement, he'll ask for match payments for 2019 season ie: 22 x $4,000 per game and move on.

    Too much baggage sadly because he’s a great talent and bargain basement price.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
