You can't request a trade if no clubs are interested in recruiting you

    I’m not sure he would go as a ruck.  I don’t think his body would hold up. 
    I’d have him at the Dees in a heartbeat

    Laughable by Oscar. 

    More chance he'll have to fill out a delisted free agency form then get a trade.. 

    Happy to get rid of both.

    Omac would be lucki to be recruited by an aus kick side.

    TBF, he's out of contract and may have just said he'd like to try for more opportunity elsewhere.

    which would be quite understandable

    given the quality of key position defenders in the league i can definitely see him getting an opportunity elsewhere

    Trade table - Pruess, OMac, TMac, ANB, Smith

    Delist/Retire - Jones, Jetta, KK, Bradkte, Dunkleyor Brown, Wagner x 2 

    Targets - Moore, mature Sml Fwd (Bruest?)

    Role Changes - Harmes back to mid/tagging role; Viney to be split between fwd pockett and mid; if no trade for TMAC send to CHB and Tomlinson to wing

    List changes - Promote Lockhart and Bennell; Demote Neitschke to Rookie

    Why would you trade our back-up ruck and also de-list our development ruck?

    And if you're going to de-list a Category B development ruck after a couple of seasons then why ever bother putting one on the list in the first place?

    Pruess:

    Would be interesting to see the trade value of Preuss. With Jackson coming in he seems like he will be the second ruckman from now on. He is valuable as a second ruckman on the list but would probably be valuable for a team like GWS who is desperate need of a first ruckman.

    Where did you hear about this one @Lord Nev?

    And no doubt we'll be picking up a portion of TMacs salary. Who is in charge of contracts, Mahoney I assume? For all his ability to get things done at the trade table I think his willingness to hand out exorbitant contracts that hamstring our list management is a massive cross against him. Not to mention his management of our assistant coaches/footy department.

    It makes sense for them to seek a trade considering they are obviously considered no more than depth for us moving forward. I mean if OMac is behind Smith and TMac is behind Brown they'll see nothing but games at windswept Casey in their futures if they stay with us. Only problem is not sure who would be interested in them.

    I’m sure this decision of the McDonald’s didn’t come today, hence why we’ve seen little of them. Good result for both parties
     

    Would hope we can move to a more agile taller forward line. Gunston would be number one target for me and Mihocek close second. One of those two and a silky small would make us a very different team next year

    Would be great to see the back of Melksham

    If Max were to go down next year (touch wood), would we really want to give the job to Jacko? That's a fair load for a 2nd year player. Isn't this the main reason why we got Preuss from Norf, as ruck insurance?

    Having said that, if GWS did offer up something that improved the needs of our list it would certainly be tempting. 

    I'm in the camp that thinks Preuss can still improve and hold down an AFL first ruck role

    Unless he wants out, I would keep him

    i think that's the thing tho - he should be a starting ruck somewhere

    he'll likely never be that at the dees

    he said when he joined us that it was as much about 'learning' from the best as much as anything

    he'll definitely have value you'd think

    Straight swap for Cockatoo. if we can get him fit he'd be a good player for us, Cats need a ruckman like Press desperately.

    I would let Jacko take the ruck and bring in Brown as the 3rd tall with Weid and Petty.

    Petty was training with the forwards before he done his groin so I expect him to be a forward.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
