I would be keen to keep Hannan too Dr D.

 

Damn I was hoping that Adelaide would match St Kilda for Crouch, solid pick up for them. 

GWS did well with Jesse, basically a free hit with him. If it doesn’t work out then nothing really lost on their end. As for Freo, another big trade bust for them! ?

EDIT also wanted to mention it’s absolutely incredible the clubs are going through the trade period without confirming what the list sizes will be. Amateur hour from the AFL.

You don't offer 3 year contracts to players you think are spuds. So the dogs obviously see what i see in him. 190cm small forward that can run and jump and has kicked a clutch goal in finals.

Be interesting how this trade plays out.  Bulldogs are getting a player that Adelaide should bid on for pick 1.  I cant remember the discount you get for nga bids.  It would be great to find a way to bundle up Hannan with some  picks and go after bulldogs first round pick

What do you think of the longer contracts we have previously offered to Harmes and TMac, Preuss and Tomlinson?

Ffs. Why are the Saints now the destination club? And how is their salary cap??? 
 

Big $$$ to get Carlisle. Big $$$ to get Hannebery. Big $$$ to get Hill.  Big $$$ to get Crouch. Billings must be in decent $$. Steele etc will hold out their hand for more $$$ 

and now can they afford extra $700k year for Treloar!!??!!!!?

Like Mahoney they said it is unlikely but are monitoring the situation, like I'm sure everyone is.

Absolute nothing article.

carlisle was on big money; currently doesn't have a contract

hill they frontloaded last year, crouch is going to them on less money than he was on at the crows, billings is ooc at the end of next season, and no guarantee to stay at the aints beyond that as they've moved past him

they also have a number of veterans on relatively low contracts - geary, ryder, ross - who are key to their best 22

i think they've managed their list build quite well, but i don't think they're necessarily in a better or worse position than us, really


The AFL trade period is so boring.

A player has to consent to to being traded which means nothing surprising ever happens and we know all the moves weeks in advance anyway.

 And still they run this trade radio crap.

they have drafted so poorly that they had very few A graders in the team so plenty of cash to spend on trade-ins

bizarre decision from dunkley for mine

i do think it's hilarious that there's been so much gnashing and wailing about oliver walking out on us...but it is clearly not happening; meanwhile the dogs just one of their key players

The 'grunt' type of midfielder that Essendon has needed for a couple of years now.

This is where we could get involved, assuming Essendon get pick 8 for Saad because the dogs won't want an early pick in this years draft. I'd ask about sending our 1st round (2021), pick 26 & 53 (2020) and Hannan to the Dogs and TMac to the bombers, the Dogs sending Dunkley to Ess while we get picks 8 and 14 this year. The Bombers don't have any 2nd round picks this year

Dees: Out 2021 1st, pick 26 & 53 (2020) Hannan & TMac In: pick 8 & 14 2020. 

Dogs: out Dunkley, pick 14 In: 2021 1st (from Dees) & pick 26 & 53 (2020) & Hannan

Ess: out pick 8 In: Dunkley & TMac

I would do that, especially to get TMac off the books. Could potentially trade into next years draft to, via the Pies, if we wanted.

Move on Dr and Dee3031 we are still living on his marvellous Geelong Semi sealing goal in 2018.

Mitch had all season to hit form and didn't succeed and I will Not forgive him fir the last pass to Fritsch in the last quarter at Metricon vs Lions instead of passing to Jack Viney 30 m out on his own OR having a shot himself.!!!

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
