You need to be careful.  I'm fairly sure it was Olisik that was HUGE on Oliver right from the get go.  He copped a lot of criticism with people wanting Parish.

That said all I'm really saying is evaluate the idea, not who delivers it.

You know what they say about broken clocks…

Who here would do this

Jackson to Freo for Cerra and Pick 8

Pick 8 and 34 (plus change) to Richmond for picks 11 + 16

Pick 16 to Collingwood for Maynard

Gunston as free agent

 

 

In: Cerra, Maynard, Gunston, Pick 11 (Mac Andrew)

Out: L. Jackson, P34

If I was drunk or post - lobotomy then yes, absolutely

Would only entertain if we knew Jackson wants out otherwise sign him up for life.

Jackson is going to be thrown the kitchen sink (especially if he wins the rising star) from Eagles and Freo.

Love the kid and no doubt want him at the club but I have a feeling he will be going home in the future.

In my view Maynard does not add value for money.  Saying he is a replacement for Hibbo is misplaced, Hibbo isn't getting a game with both Hunt and Tomlinson out.  I'm a believer that Tomlinson can fit with May, Lever and Petty.

We clearly have a tight salary cap.  We have Jackson, Pickett, Rivers, Sparrow, Jordon, Petty, Spargo and Bowey who were in our 23 on Saturday and are 22 or under.  They will need TPP space and I don't think our oldies are on big coin.

Maynard is not a priority I don't think.

Certainly not at any sort of premium price anyway.

Bullies aren't right ever, and definitely not twice a day.

When he’s 33

pat naish was a target of the pies last year so maybe they sign him up as a DFA this season, surprising that the tigers only announced the one list change, maybe they feel their other OOC players have trade value? but surely naish would've too

 

Wow lol haven’t been here all day and more posts about me then actual trades.

Would have thought more posters would have balls to post up interesting scenarios then prioritise sitting on sidelines posting pot shots like 15 year olds on Facebook.

That said I did hear that Freo have asked the question re Jackson, hence that scenario. 

Thanks Baghdad, on the money there mate with Oliver. Can also include Pickett to that list also who everyone screamed had go-home factor all over him.

A premiership and the lure of more will help.

There are interesting scenarios and ridiculous scenarios. Usually the ones that involve half a dozen players and ten pick swaps are ridiculous.

Should have another crack at Jamie Elliott, 29 years of age. Wouldn't cost a lot in terms of picks due to his age & durability concerns. Obviously risk involved, but imagine him & Kozzie running amuck?

Why would we want Elliott goes missing too often and is old we already have Spargo and then we have Bedford and Chandler waiting in the wings. It's a no from me.

Comparing Elliott with Bedford & Chandler? Right...

He can replace ANB who is probably in our 20-22 player range

No what I'm saying given a chance they could perform.

Just now, olisik said:

I'd rather Neal-Bullen Elliott has no defensive ability at all.


I'm on the Maynard bandwagon but the rest don't really excite me.

  • 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.
