I listened to the post interview discussion and fan call in which centred mainly on Stephenson.

He didn’t disclose anything new regarding Treloar other than it’ll be difficult to bring players in unless he is moved out.

Doesn’t sound like they are interested in TMac.

No mention of Tom Phillips

There was a reference to the first round pick being on the table. Didn’t catch whether this years or next.

It is their 2021 first round pick (so that the points aren't used for their F/S (Daicos) next year). 

It may be a good bet for a club to take.  I expect them to slide down the ladder and probably out of the 8.  Also, 2021 is said to be a very good draft without so many compromised picks as this year.

I didn't catch while listening but I’ve googled and found this on fox sports. Pretty sure this is what they were talking about. 

 PIES’ KEY 2021 PICK ON THE TABLE

Collingwood are reportedly open to parting with their 2021 first-round draft pick, in another sign the club is set to be one of the most active this trade period.

Foxfooty.com.au has confirmed AFL Media‘s report that the Pies would be willing to deal for its future first-round selection, given the club is set to pickup father-son prodigy Nick Daicos, who could go with pick No.1.

I wonder whether this year's and next year's 2nds for the Pies 2021 1st would be a good deal for us?

They must be poorly paid at the bulldogs if that is a substantial increase on his current contract as has been reported. 

Edit:  Browne's info suspect again!  Sam Edmond seems to have a better grapevine:  “The reason he is considering leaving - he’s been sold the massive midfield dream. The lure of that, plus a big contract that conservatively speaking is worth $700,000 a season and playing with his brother Kyle is unbelievable".  From Fox news.

what midfield dream would that be? the one that has an ongoing disconnect with its forwardline?

I would do it!  The good thing about including next years 2nd is it gives them some points for Daicos who is touted to be top 5 so they will need a lot of points to get him.

I'm guessing a few club's will have their eye on the pies 2021 1st.

"It was really good that Ben Brown has selected Meloburne as the club he'd like to play for. We have had a couple of preliminary discussions with North Melbourne. We don't think it will be a first round pick. There's been a few picks and players discussed so far" - Josh Mahoney

Mahoney interview:

  • Ben Brown:  Started trade conversation with North and deal will get done in next 10 days.  Had some discussions around picks/players.  It won't be a first round pick. 
  • Tom McDonald:  Ben Brown changes role for Tom.  Came back a bit heavy after covid.  Club has had no discussions with other clubs yet.  Asked Tom and his manager to look around and will see how that goes.
  • Oscar McDonald:   Conversation was side tracked before Mahoney answered it...
  • Preuss:  Only one conversation so far (with GWS). 
  • Looking for a ruck back up either in the trade period or off-season (which I assume means the rookie draft or the Preseason Selections).
  • Recap on trading out this year's first round pick to North, last year.
  • His new GM role - not much new to what we know. 
  • Treloar would be handy but unlikely to be able to get him.  Sounded very unlikely.
  • Phillips would be handy and we may look at him on the wing but happy to look at internal candidates.
  • Jones didn't want 2021 to be a token year.  300 not the driver for the contract.  Is doing some coaching.

Whoever was interviewing seemed more interested in getting through his list of questions than exploring any of the above.  Very frustrating.  I really wanted to hear the update on Oscar.

Good write up Lucifer.

Won't be first rounder for Brown. Few picks and players discussed.

Treloar sounded very unlikely.

Philips not sure, as Josh keeps spriuking the internal candidates to fill the wing role line.

He also mentioned during discussion of future first trade with North for Pickett that we would like to move our first pick of 25 higher if possible. Always wanting to get a higher position in the draft.

Thank you very much for summary.

I listened for first half, but Matt Rendell's interview style was so irritating I turned it off.

Is that who it was!  I also found his style very irritating.   I thought Barrett was much better.  At least he gave people time to answer the questions.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
