This trade period is as exciting as watching Geoff Boycott bat.

On that note, is it time to start The Will Pucovski Thread?

    Just sat down to watch the replay of today's Vic match to see the new wunderkind and he's out for his lowest score!!

    Timing is everything

    Was having a chuckle to myself, as guys on Fox Footy were gushing over Saad and his trade for pick 8 today, as I remembered pushing him hard on DL, when he was rumoured to be unhappy at Suns and plenty on here knocked him completely.

    What were you thinking his trade value was back then Red? He’s a decent player but IMO pick eight is crazy.

    Must be awesome to be 200cm tall.

     

     

    I was playing a game of AFL 9’s in Sydney a few years ago (with my mates - pretty low level stuff).

    The ball came into the forward line pretty neatly. Arms up. Thought to myself - I’ve got this every day of the week. I’m 188cm. Thinking about the set shot to come.

    Then, the ball just completely disappears. Without warning. As though a UFO just vaporised it.

    I look around to see Jason Ball smiling with ball in hand. He’s 201cm.

    It’s a very unfair advantage.

    Pick 8 for Adam [censored] Saad.... you can not be serious.

    The AFL are clearly helping the Bombers behind the scenes.

    I guess Christian Salem would get us a top 3 pick then if Saad can get pick 8.

    Back then without NGA’s, about 25-30. Didn’t Bombers  pay about that?

    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?

    Interesting strategy. I would have thought instead of increasing the drama, the AFL's timing plans will do the reverse. Is trading of such interest that people picking up children from school, trying to finish a day's work and preparing for dinner are really going to be following the "excitement" of the final trades? 

    In short, if anything happens after about 5.30 pm, I won't know about it until tomorrow.

    Surely you are not surprised LDC! The AFL will do anything that helps their media buddies. As usual the fans are running a bad last.

    Saad was traded for Bombers 2018 2nd round pick in Oct 2017. That pick would have been about 26 and then pushed back so probably ending up about 30-32.

    Essendon will be a rabble for years to come and the Blues had to cough up pick 8 which is probably overs but they have an immediate need for a seasoned player in that position. 
     

    I don’t see this as unreasonable no matter where Saads pick value has previously been.

    Yes Carlton stuffed up there. They should of split pick 8 early in the trade period for a couple of later picks. Then the Bombers would have had no choice but to accept one of them as the week went on. Holding onto 8 was a mistake. Essendon were the big winners on that one. 

    Hopefully the Bombers end up forking out massive overs for Dunkley.

    They were spooked by the Papley result in moving picks and couldn't afford to not get Saad for their fans.

    So what's the deal with trades today are they holding all back announcements so they can announce them at that stupid special they have on Fox footy at 7:30

    so is it a waste of time checking in here to see progress?

    or will social media drop any useful trade info before official release time?

    Hard to imagine that "unofficial" reports won't leak out before the paperwork is allowed to be officially lodged.

    Will the Filth pay $300,000 a year for 5 years to get rid of Treloar?

    Start with his own - apparently he was a key driver of the Beams return which caused most of this

    Beams didn’t write the ridiculous contract. 
    Treloar signed what was put in front of him

    • 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?
