Non-MFC trades and player movements 2020

Random Task

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

    You can still ditch the girls and booze and get back to the sherrin.

    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.

    Joe Daniher officially a lion after agreeing to a 3 year deal.

    Bombers receive a 1st round compensation pick, currently pick 7.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • 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?
