    Well that proposal is a dilly of a pickle

    Thinking with my head, I probably would I think, based on superior foot skills and ability to score more often.  But not by much. 

    But I love Gussy so, thinking like the one-eyed MFC fan, I would keep Gussy coz I love him and reckon he'd come good

    Nah, Gus is a very classy act at the rear end of the opportunity stick - I'd put him forward flanking/utility unzoned as he is a great shot at goal and does require some moving space to see ball, get ball, split the big sticks. I really mean it - one of our best when properly used, moving forward and deep as possible.

    Would do this without a second thought.

    Brayshaw is a good enough player, but he doesn't have anything we don't already have. Billings is a bit more zippy and can kick well, consistently.

    I wouldn't do Brayshaw for Billings. The former is a much better player. Sure, Billings had a better 2020, but it would take more than Billings to make me trade Gus.

    Billings would be the perfect outside tonic that we are desperate for. Like @Pulp Fritschon said though, can't see the saints parting away with Billings. They'd want a first round pick.

    Richards is an interesting one. Played half back in his under 18s year and was pretty impressive but the doggies have played him as a half forward flank.

    I’d rather Billing’s than pick#9 in the draft (or whatever it would end up being - if we can even get it).

    Our time is now and the next few years, Billing’s will have much more of an instant impact. I’d even consider trading Bradshaw for him, as Jack is way more versatile, better kick and quicker too.

    Tigs have told Jack Higgins he's on the trade table. definitely someone we should absolutely be looking at. 

    would add some chase and tackle pressure to our forward line that we currently lack, crafty around goals and provides a bit of X-Factor. 

    Nathan Broad is another who i rate, he's not getting the interest he thought he might, but in terms of improving your bottom 6, that's a guy with the capacity to be a very good role player. 

    I believe Broad is also a F/A so wouldn't cost anything.

    Kozzie x Higgins would certainly be a nice combo

    At the feet of Ben Brown who's either going to mark it, draw a free or bring it to ground.

    I'd go for both of them. The problem with Higgins is coming up with the pick to land him.

    One of my first thoughts when I heard Brown was a possibility was that we could do with another small cheeky forward. Higgins will do nicely.

    Future second? Higgins can’t get a game so doubt he’d cost the world

    I can't remember what the rules are around trading futures. If we wanted to trade our future first, could we also trade our future second?

    No if we trade future 1st we can't trade any other future picks and vice versa.

    In answer to your post then @adonski, I wouldn't trade a future for Higgins. I want Macrae.

    Bugger. Should be able to package up some later picks for a second rounder with all the players we’re moving on though you would’ve thought

    You can trade the future 2nd in addition if you can get one back from somewhere else, e.g. last year we traded future 1st and 2nd to North but got a 2nd back from Hawthorn for Frost.

    • 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?
