Amazed that the Treloar deal didn't get done. 

It’s done to the dogs

    Looks like Caldwell and Cameron made it, but Treloar and Dunkley didn't.

    So glad the Dogs held on to Dunkley.  Still has two years to run on his deal and the Bombers were arrogant enough to just offer one first round pick.  Dogs stuck to their guns and they've now got two years to turn things around, which they are more than capable of doing.

    There was absolutely no way the pies and Treloar could have gone on next year

    Wow, so the Dogs' midfield next year will be Botempelli, Macrae, Hunter, Smith, Libba, Dunkley and Treloar.

    That is...insane.

    Plus Stefan Martin in the ruck to actually be a ruckman (improving on English).

    Apparently it did get done?

    I’m sure the AFL stepped in with Treloar, the CBA allows for grievances to be lodged but it sounds messy especially when so public.

    Well if we lose Oliver next year we'll be knocking on their door to land Dunkley.

    Dogs North and Hawthorn have taken advantage of the pies fire sale. Good on them. We’re done well overall, I’m not complaining but I can’t help feeling that’s we’ve missed a trick. Phillips for 65 was cheap as chips and he filled such an obvious need.

    Man Dunkley won’t be happy. And he’ll have even less midfield time now. Ouch

    I don’t know but I would guess the 500K for Phillips was the issue. Hawks have to pay the min cap but it would put us out of whack

    I wonder if it could have been us snatching Treloar at the death if we'd been able to offload Tom. Oh well, they say everything happens for a reason.

    Wonder if we can snare pick 13 from GWS for 19+28

     

    Go in with 13 and 18

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
