Well that shows  up the Club thinking.  Ageing player, has some currency, and wont be considered for a trade. 

he's also a free agent, so it's out of our hands to a greater / lesser degree

Didn't realize 26 was an ageing player, let's trade out all our players over 25 and we can concentrate on becoming a kindergarten club.

I think it shows up your thinking.

you say he's an ageing player but a more positive thinking person would say that he's now coming into his prime years. you said he was of limited currency before ('would only bring a second rounder'), but you'd still wish to trade an ex captain of our club, our current VC and a guy who was our best player 2 games ago for what, a second round pick?!

to me your thinking sounds overly negative, disloyal and confused.

Petty and Sparrow are 2 players I would have in the starting 18. To trade off would be stupid. There are plenty of other dead cattle at Melbourne.

I know it's early but I thought it would be a little fun to predict trades, promotions and delistings.

TRADE

WEIDEMAN FOR DANIHER.

I know Daniher is a free agent but we can do what Geelong did with Dangerfield and trade for him.

Makes good sense, provides potential benefits and skills, keeps those in the picture keen and somewhat responsible towards the Club. I'd retain Hunt - seldom played in his most valuable position under Goodwin - he's a forward on the run, leading, and we know he can kick 'em.

Well, to start with I was not the one to bring up Vineys name. I merely said or infered that strong Clubs make impartial decisions on who and when to trade players.  You dont agree, good for you but to bring up the disloyal card just shows your thinking is still back in the glory years of the early 60s.

We have a lot of fringe players. Our elite players don’t perform consistently. Brayshaw has had some great games in the past but has underperformed for two years.

Are we still giving our first pick to North? No doubt they'll find somebody fantastic with it even if there's not one Under 18 game played.

what about Schache from Dogs? Isn't getting a game at the moment and if he added some size he could be handy 

how is he different to the weed tho?

good tall at junior level who at senior level isn't mobile enough, skilled enough, hard enough, so basically has to be the part time forward / ruck role

I think Weed should be playing and not sure why he isn't - showed signs early and although he had a down year last year so did 3/4 of the side

Fwds take time and I think our coaches are being pretty impatient with him. I must admit it was foolish of whoever came out and said he is worth $650k a year as it might of got to his head/a target on him/internal pressure

But I want to see him back in the side, fwds are a commodity and we don't have too many rn

It almost looking like selection this year,  after maybe some footy-dept changes,  that players now have to demand a game by crashing the selection room door in.!

The crows must have something we want.   Laird is too small to replace Nev, imv.

Lets start to get into Fogarty.

fogarty just did his shoulder unfortunately

he might be another in a long list of player's whose body is simply not made for the rigours of afl-level football

If we can't get anyone I'm happy to take what little we have to the draft and try and move up somehow

Our recruiting has been very good last few years so I'm happy to back them in again

We don't want list cloggers

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
