Due to where he sits in the pecking order at Melbourne, there will always be a perception that Brayshaw is gettable and it wouldn't surprise me if he's inquired about quite often.

True however if we have another consistently bad season next season it wont only be Oliver and Brayshaw looking to get out and i wouldnt blame them.

It wouldnt suprise me if other teams are already in their ears and preparing to get them next season.

If we have a good season this may change things and thats why season 21 is critical to the MFC.


 

Well, Kane is just plane wrong there. Indicative draft order from AFL website still has Cats holding 13, 15 and 20. That may well blow out on draft night with Academy bids but as there are no more free agency compensation picks being handed out so the order of the picks won't change until then.

Wonder if that sparks interest in Tom.

Sydney Swans are just the team to get Oscar moving You Don't play  in their 22 If you don't play your role and play their system. If they can make first year players play their system why not take a chance on already proven players who IMO would improve A half agsin with JL coaching!!!

Might even get Tom going ! 
Josh give them a ring for the Future 2nd rounder fir both!!

If it meant getting both off our list (given we no longer seem to want them), then a token 4th rounder would do it for me, opening up some cap space (whoever is responsible for the cap needs to go, how can we have it so tight yet not even be finals worthy?)

The hype level of the trade period is reaching a crescendo as the penultimate day of business nears a close. After days of back and forth meetings and handwringing Carlton and Essendon have agreed to a deal for Adam Saad and it was an Adrian Dodoro supersonic special that saw - Saad, pick 48 and 78 to Blues in exchange for picks 8 and 87. For the moment, the Bombers have picks 6, 7 and 8 but, in a dramatic moment of karma, the Bulldogs have demanded two of these picks for Josh Dunkley - otherwise there’s no deal. What a pity the trade period wasn’t designed to end at around Xmas/Boxing Day!

The Cats got involved but the impasse over Jeremy Cameron wasn’t part of it. They offloaded Lachlan Fogarty and pick 38 to Carlton for picks 30 and 51 and flicked Nakia Cockatoo to Brisbane for a future 3rd round selection. They then moved pick 30 on to the Kangaroos for Shaun Higgins. The overall effect of these moves pushed the average age of their list into the stratosphere and it ain’t over yet.

Meanwhile, Port Adelaide Power struck a deal for versatile Swan Aliir Aliir in exchange for a future second-round pick. 

And in a very late in the day deal, Sydney receives Tom Hickey, picks 34 and 60 in return for picks 58, 62 and a future second-round and future third-round pick.

There are lots of balls still in the air and a few new names came up for discussion (including a “Chip” Frawley” comeback at the Saints) which leaves us with a really exciting day ahead tomorrow. 

Apparently, the AFL’s idea of adding to the drama of the final day of trading is that while clubs can still agree on deals, they can only lodge them between 3.00pm and 7.30pm. 

How exciting?

The no lodging deals thing is rubbish.

How many deals get held up or missed because instead of lodging at 10am they have to wait til 3pm so leave it open.

As long as they’re postmarked on the day of trade period they should be accepted. Count every lodgement!

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
