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.

    Wouldn't touch the Bearded Jayden Hunt for a first rounder

    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.

    That's ok, this 5'7" climbs Ventoux faster and shreds powder better with lower centre of gravity

    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?

    Which heads will roll?

    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

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
