Daily summary ~

Matt Rendell says the Bombers need to pay up for Josh Dunkley. “When you're chasing a bloke that has two years left on their contract, then cough up. Don't stuff around! Cough up"

"Ben Brown has chosen Melbourne. The Dees have met with him, done a medical, and he will request the trade" - Sam Edmund

Jesse Hogan has officially requested a trade to the Giants. The Dockers will clear him.

Geelong a little surprised the Giants matched the Jeremy Cameron offer.

The Treloar saga continues. Nathan Buckley responded to Sam Edmund's report that the coach informed Adam Treloar senior players don't want him to return to the club.

St Kilda say they won't be trading their first-round pick in any potential trade for Brad Crouch.

    It’s a public holiday and things have been a little quiet today but there’s a lot happening in the background.

    Essendon and Carlton remain in a stalemate over Adam Saad on the eve of the 2020 trade period.

    Matt Rendell believes Collingwood is exploring the possibility of bringing in Tom McDonald from Melbourne.

    Speculation that St Kilda might be calling Adelaide’s bluff (the Crows have yet to match the Saints’ bid).

    The action should heat up a little bit when the trade period starts tomorrow at 9.00am.

    Speaking from Washington DC, President Donald J Trump has announced that unless North Melbourne completes the trade of Benjamin Brown to Melbourne by the time the ballots close in the western states, he will file a case in the Supreme Court of the USA to have the entire trade period declared null and void.

    Fake News. Trump would have either called North the Do-Nothing North Melbourne or the Krazy Kangaroos.

    This guy is unbelievable in his arrogance. 

    I don’t mind this as the first step in negotiation but his problem is he usually sticks to this and doesn’t end up getting a deal done. 

    Not bad for a bloke that has played about half a dozen mediocre games in 2 years

    Ahahahaha!

    He asks for proven players and first rounders. He asked for Butters!
    Imagine approaching a trade and saying we'll take that contracted 19 year old All Australian and give you an uncontracted 25 year old who's missed the better part of two years with injury and publicly wants out again.

    Dodoro is proper mental.

    They must be poorly paid at the bulldogs if that is a substantial increase on his current contract as has been reported. 

    Edit:  Browne's info suspect again!  Sam Edmond seems to have a better grapevine:  “The reason he is considering leaving - he’s been sold the massive midfield dream. The lure of that, plus a big contract that conservatively speaking is worth $700,000 a season and playing with his brother Kyle is unbelievable".  From Fox news.

    If I was Dunkley, I'd happily take unders to not play ruck

    I can’t Fanta-Seea that happening

    Fantasia’s main asset is his pace and has soft tissue issues. And desperately wants to leave the bombers

    pick in the 50’s would be about right

    Think it was Cal discussing the demons briefly just now on trade radio, largely about acquisition of brown and and how we plan to shape our forward line with the three talls. At the end of the discussion he mentioned that he expects us to haggle a little bit over Preuss to GWS and that because he's contracted we wouldn't be throwing him away for late picks. Suggested it could be pick 30, 43 or involving the pick they'll acquire from Hately.

    Collingwood list manager just said on trade radio that discussions surrounding Tom Phillips have been around his role at the club. No mention that he’s on the trade table.

    As I said in the Tom Phillips thread, my source has advised he isn’t going anywhere.

    goddam. just tuned in for the interview and its finished. must have got the time wrong. sure i heard 12.30 earlier. I'll look out for a report of the interview.

  • Quote

    I listened to the post interview discussion and fan call in which centred mainly on Stephenson.

    He didn’t disclose anything new regarding Treloar other than it’ll be difficult to bring players in unless he is moved out.

    Doesn’t sound like they are interested in TMac.

    No mention of Tom Phillips

    There was a reference to the first round pick being on the table. Didn’t catch whether this years or next.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
