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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
