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.

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
