The big thing is the pies get $1 million pa off their salary bill. Well perhaps only $800k. If you say 800k quickly it does not seem so much.

Just a rumour - Gil planning on changing Anzac Day games to suit an Oscar awards presentation after the orchestrated drama created on trading night.

Just a thought but for us now we might be targeting one of Essendons picks to move up the order. 18 or 19 + 28 equals roughly pick 8 or so. 18 + 19 would get us up to around pick 5. From Mahoney on trade radio today he did mention that he thought some players they had on the radar may slip through to the picks we now have, so we may just sit back and let JT do his work.

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

 

Go in with 13 and 18

Would be overs on our end pick-wise. Club would have to be super confident the player they're after would still be available by then.

Western Bulldogs should be aiming for nothing but top 4. That makes things difficult for us unless Geelong or Port slip. Their midfield is as strong as ours now IMO.

Reportedly $150k for Phillips (1 year) and $300-$350k for Treloar (5 years).  He he.  That will hurt.

Whatever the reasons for the fire sale, they have handled the players very badly.  Expect a bit of fallout.

13, 15 & 20 for Cameron.

Yikes.

Cats also got 2 future second-rounders (tied to Essendon) back from GWS. Need to look at the whole trade.

Yes - I don’t think it would be a great place to be at the moment. In an interview on SEN this evening, Jaiyden Stephenson (who actually spoke v well) said that he had to call Buckley to find out why the club wanted to trade him. The internal PR at the Pies is obviously not great.

Gross incompetence. Why hasn’t Ned Guy been sacked already?

Agree, and we only paid pick 33 plus a slip of 2  places on our pick 26 for brown, makes Brown look like an absolute bargain! Would have loved Philips for anything from pick 30 up so a bit disappointed we didn’t do something there but Mahoney can par himself on the back for a job very well done this year

I posted that before all the info came out.

Maybe just hold fire before having a crack.

It's not a lock. 'Flighty' was the word I heard that described where he's at. Not saying he's gone of course, but it's not totally safe.

“Flighty”. That’s a huge  call Nev!! In fact that’s a put down of a kid who has looked anything but !!!!

That requires a sauce to show your credibility

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
