Not surprised by that. He's far more trouble than he's worth and hasn't played a decent game of football in years.

    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.

    It is their 2021 first round pick (so that the points aren't used for their F/S (Daicos) next year). 

    It may be a good bet for a club to take.  I expect them to slide down the ladder and probably out of the 8.  Also, 2021 is said to be a very good draft without so many compromised picks as this year.

    I didn't catch while listening but I’ve googled and found this on fox sports. Pretty sure this is what they were talking about. 

     PIES’ KEY 2021 PICK ON THE TABLE

    Collingwood are reportedly open to parting with their 2021 first-round draft pick, in another sign the club is set to be one of the most active this trade period.

    Foxfooty.com.au has confirmed AFL Media‘s report that the Pies would be willing to deal for its future first-round selection, given the club is set to pickup father-son prodigy Nick Daicos, who could go with pick No.1.

    I wonder whether this year's and next year's 2nds for the Pies 2021 1st would be a good deal for us?

    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.

    what midfield dream would that be? the one that has an ongoing disconnect with its forwardline?

    I would do it!  The good thing about including next years 2nd is it gives them some points for Daicos who is touted to be top 5 so they will need a lot of points to get him.

    I'm guessing a few club's will have their eye on the pies 2021 1st.

    "It was really good that Ben Brown has selected Meloburne as the club he'd like to play for. We have had a couple of preliminary discussions with North Melbourne. We don't think it will be a first round pick. There's been a few picks and players discussed so far" - Josh Mahoney

    Mahoney interview:

    • Ben Brown:  Started trade conversation with North and deal will get done in next 10 days.  Had some discussions around picks/players.  It won't be a first round pick. 
    • Tom McDonald:  Ben Brown changes role for Tom.  Came back a bit heavy after covid.  Club has had no discussions with other clubs yet.  Asked Tom and his manager to look around and will see how that goes.
    • Oscar McDonald:   Conversation was side tracked before Mahoney answered it...
    • Preuss:  Only one conversation so far (with GWS). 
    • Looking for a ruck back up either in the trade period or off-season (which I assume means the rookie draft or the Preseason Selections).
    • Recap on trading out this year's first round pick to North, last year.
    • His new GM role - not much new to what we know. 
    • Treloar would be handy but unlikely to be able to get him.  Sounded very unlikely.
    • Phillips would be handy and we may look at him on the wing but happy to look at internal candidates.
    • Jones didn't want 2021 to be a token year.  300 not the driver for the contract.  Is doing some coaching.

    Whoever was interviewing seemed more interested in getting through his list of questions than exploring any of the above.  Very frustrating.  I really wanted to hear the update on Oscar.

    Just listening to Mahoney.

    My take:

    We’re in for Phillips

    Treloar unlikely but he didn't rule it out. Gave the impression a lot will need to play out to make it possible.

    Good write up Lucifer.

    Won't be first rounder for Brown. Few picks and players discussed.

    Treloar sounded very unlikely.

    Philips not sure, as Josh keeps spriuking the internal candidates to fill the wing role line.

    He also mentioned during discussion of future first trade with North for Pickett that we would like to move our first pick of 25 higher if possible. Always wanting to get a higher position in the draft.

    Thank you very much for summary.

    I listened for first half, but Matt Rendell's interview style was so irritating I turned it off.

    Is that who it was!  I also found his style very irritating.   I thought Barrett was much better.  At least he gave people time to answer the questions.

    Reckon we’re definitely in for Phillips after listening to Mahoney

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
