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.

    Wow way to screw ur club up.

    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.

    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

    • 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?
