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

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
