Thought it would be good idea to condense all known/reported player movements not related to MFC into this thread here for discussion. If mods deem this as unnecessary feel free to delete.

 

So far we have

Atkins to Gold Coast - UFA

Williams to Carlton - RFA

Saad to Carlton - Trade requested

Hately to Adelaide - Trade requested 

Daniher to Brisbane - RFA

Cameron to Geelong - RFA

Crouch to St Kilda - RFA

Hartigan to Hawthorn - UFA

 

Might be missing some but those are the ones I can recall.

    I wouldn't rule out a third team coming hard late for Saad. the Blues are gunna play hardball and push him to the PSD if they have to and the Bombers will want ALOT. i reckon if another team asks the question late and can convince Saad they may be a chance to steal him.

    Would love for Adelaide or North to pick him up in the PSD so both Carlton and Essendon lose out. Ultimately though I think Carlton will split their first pick and Essendon will reluctantly accept a late first rounder for him with perhaps later pick swaps to save face.

    fantasia and Z Langdon?

     

    Feel free to discuss them but I haven't included them in the initial list because as far as I'm aware they haven't been linked to a specific club. Have heard they want to move to SA and WA respectively though.

    Carlton will get the deal done

    Forgot about Corr. North must have made a really nice financial offer for him to go there. With Cameron, Williams and Hately leaving GWS are going to have a slew of early picks again. Feel they've lost too much quality for it to matter now and they should be occupying the bottom half of the ladder for the next few years. Wonder if the likes of Kelly, Whitfield and Taranto will be gettable once the ship starts to sink.

    Caldwell has nominated Essendon as his club of choice to be traded to. St Kilda were allegedly front runners but the commitment of crouch as a rfa probably impacted this. Gws bleeding players at the moment. Hard to see us acquiring any other Gws youngsters after the exits they've had.

    On a reported $2.5 million contract offer over five years. Wow. I should have concentrated on football instead of girls and booze.

    Just announced on 3aw that Jay Caldwell has requested a trade to Essendon

  • Quote

    5 year deal for Caldwell to the bombers? Is that right? 2nd year player that hasn’t done much to date. Smells a bit desperate. Could turn out ok but bit risky. Is only 183 cm so not exactly that big mid they need. 

    Based on what Essendon want for Saad they might have to use pick 6 for Caldwell. They might regret using the term compelling compensation

    Interesting considering they appear to have problems and still have Shiel, Merrett, Smith, Parish, Heppell, McGrath, Stringer and a few others who can play midfield.

    Reports on afl.com of both players requesting a trade to Port and West Coast respectively as widely speculated.

    SEN reported that he will be on around $550k a season for 5 years. 

    This for a bloke who has played 11 games and hasn't won more than 16 possies in any of them.

    Just goes to show what you have to pay to get players to your club when you aren't much chop.

    Happy for him to go the Bombers as well considering the last place I think they need to add players is in their midfield right now.

    Rory Atkins officially a Suns player after accepting a 5 year deal worth approximately $400,000 per year. 

    Adelaide have been compensated with an end of 2nd round pick, currently pick 36. They've done well out of the compensation in my view.

    I guess it's time that Isaac Smith to Geelong is added to this thread...

    Indeed.

    Smith to Geelong on a two year deal ($$$ not specified)

    Hawthorn receive a 3rd round compensation pick, currently pick 42.

     

    As a side note, our pick 47 has now slide out to pick 49 and this is before compensation is handed out for Williams, Corr and Daniher (if bombers don't match). This will change further with academy bids and may even come in slightly as 2nd and 3rd round picks get swallowed up in the process.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
