My hopes are Ben Brown gets done as early as possible and we get a sneaky Tom Phillips from the maggies on the cheap in the closing minutes.

Ben Brown done

a 1st round pick done or the draft picks in hand obviously outlining our intentions to secure one

official word of APhillips trade or commitment as a DFA

one of TPhillips, Narkle, CCox in a trade

only then will i be satisfied ?

 

ben brown should happen; would be nice to get him on the 'cheap'

andrew phillips for a token late pick

and then wait to do the pick upgrade swap til just before / on draft night

Tmac, Omac, Avb, ANB all traded out

If we lost them all out, what players will there be left to bag @olisik?

Viney, Jones, Smith, Spargo, Fritta, Harmes, and Lever probably all next in the firing line I would imagine. Fans will never fail to find someone else to bag.

Joel Smith, though hopefully he also is traded

Ben Brown trade done early.

Andrew Phillips trade done for one of our picks in the 60's.

Bundle some of our picks to the Bulldogs for an upgrade to a 1st Round Pick.

Word that we're committed to taking Marley Williams as a DFA.

Would be happy to hear of a trade for Tom McDonald or ANB out, but will live if it doesn't happen.

Brown for whatever, I'm not too fussed about haggling over a few draft spots in a draft that becomes guesswork within the first round.

Seems like the major concern is how efficiently we can move players out, rather than in.  I would of course still be sad to see Tom McDonald go but his salary leaves with him and unfortunately that matters.

Picks in the 50s or even 60s for the 'respectfully moved on with best wishes' players is fine.

This Marley Williams whisper keeps appearing. Where’s it coming from ? 

Unsure about Tmcd.  Happy to see Tmcd stay or go. If he goes, 1- try to use the pick to get Narkle. 2- need Andrew Phillips from Bombers (save ourselves $450k a year) for a future 4th round. But I’m tipping Tmcd stays. 
 

Really want

1- Ben Brown - MFC pick 31 and pick 68 to Kangas 

2- Dogs pick 14 - swap for MFC pick 26,33. Gets Dogs 1290 points  

### End up with 3 picks 14, 43 , 50. ###

not too fussed about getting into the first round this year. such a compromised draft and no combine etc means it will be hard to know who the quality picks are outside of the top 10.  keep some second rounders and hope for a gem

Get brown and a back up ruck.

then win the flag.

In all honesty I haven't seen it anywhere outside of this site. I mentioned him after he was delisted and have seen one or two other posters mention his name in whispers.

But he does make sense IMO. Seasoned 27 year old small defender/HB with a bit of pace and good kicking skills. Kind of what we need.

A shock move out of the blue that hasn't been rumoured about or known well in advance....  like how it happens in every other sport in the world.

I know thats high hopes for the world of AFL where the players/AFLPA control everything but you never know.

Getting more picks in 2021 draft, apparently shaping up to be one of the best in while, almost super.

It’s all whispers and hearsay.  The 2021 draftees are mostly unknown outside of some under 16 championship games and the WA and SA colts league this year.  I think the. Super draft of 2021 is certainly not yet a known factor.  

Don't think, do!

Pretty underwhelming to date. I'm a big believer that we lack depth. We need to get rid of the NQR's and those that are cooked and replace them with either ready made players or those with potential to make the grade.

I'm sorry but if guys like Oskar Baker , Joel Smith, et al play more than five games next year we are stuffed!


Pick 31 for Ben Brown

Pick 26, 33, 50 for Bulldogs pick 14 and future 4th

Parma, chips and pint at the pub. Should be a good day.

Hoping my biltong will be dried enough in the morning. 
This unusually cool November weather in Perf sucks.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
