Not surprised by that. He's far more trouble than he's worth and hasn't played a decent game of football in years.

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.

Just listening to Mahoney.

My take:

We’re in for Phillips

Treloar unlikely but he didn't rule it out. Gave the impression a lot will need to play out to make it possible.

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.


Hogan done for third round selection to GWS = wow. 50 something :O

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.

Reckon we’re definitely in for Phillips after listening to Mahoney

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
