Lloyd: Trade Oliver or Brayshaw

Lloyd and Cornes are top of the tree when it comes to voices in the footy media I completely tune out.

Karl Langdon completes the trifecta but fortunately we get to avoid most of his nonsense over in the west.

    Lloyd is saying that we need to balance the midfield. He isn't wrong.

    We are super strong on the inside. On the outside we have Langdon, Tomlinson, vandenBerg, Jones and ANB. 

    Langdon was a second rounder for a reason.T Tomlinsonlooks like a mistake. I love VDB but he is playing that role because we require him to not because he is suited. Likewise Jones. ANB shouldn't get another game.

    If we replaced these guys with two hard running players with decent pace we would balance our list without giving up to much they don't need to be A graders.

    I think most agree we need to balance our midfield, but the simple fact of the matter is you don’t trade a player like Oliver.

    Petracca - Oliver - Brayshaw.   The holy trinity in the midfield. They will be dominating for years to come.

    Lloyd has no idea.

    viney>brayshaw

    I don’t want to lose Brayshaw but I sense he is frustrated at not getting the opportunity he wants in the middle. I would be if I was him. Let’s hope a performance like tonight reminds potential suitors of his ability in the middle and we are compensated well ie enough to buy/recruit some outside class

    tonight showed how overstocked we are with midfielders. which was a positive with Brayshaw 29 possies and a goal more than stepping up. 

    I think Goodwin needs to change things up and give him more time, let Viney and Oliver go forward as we do have very good back up.

    I like the look of Sparrow now but have to say even the day he was recruited, why ? if he comes good he is yet another tough contested midfielder.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
