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 ?

A first rounder is not on the Agenda if u can believe the talk last week What has Ben done for Josh Mahoney to alter that stance 

Pick 31 plus 50 should suffice and another player or a first round pick should be traded for  us to have a hand later today on a class reject from one of the Clubs that are not wAnted.

If we just look at a regular AFL player then Tom Phillips George Hewitt ( exchange for Oscar or dome deal involving Tom) or Cat Narkle or Brodie from Gold Coast. All would be cheap and still allow our top trade ambitions to survive.

BUT I would like Josh  Mahoney To contact JUSTIN WESTHOFF from Port to come out of retirement.

Is versatile and Perfect third/ fourth defender or attack and is good kick fir goal to boot and  great Clubman  with Experience for say  2 years.

    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.

    By golly This would have the Oscar haters confused. Who to criticise the most. Why did Pies move him on and NOW why when Roos are having a fire sale would you take Marley?

    Lockhart is twice the player and 3/4 years younger and makes far less mistakes than Zmarleh who is a coach killer at worst and disposal not great at best.

    We font need half backs we need goal scorers and outside runners oh and Ben Brown!!

    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. ###

    Pretty much agree SONS

    Joel Smith, though hopefully he also is traced  Why Ol would Joel be traded after gettin a deal for 2 years about a month ago???

    The two obvious ones are to secure Ben Brown and to improve our draft position if possible (although we know the latter can be done at any time right up to and including the actual draft). 

    I don’t have any further hopes or expectations for today but I would like to think that Tom McDonald, if he stays, can revitalise his career and show all the naysayers that they were wrong.

    Have you looked at our list recently? If we don't need half backs, why on earth were we trying to reinvent Harmes as a half back this year?

    We have Salem & Rivers who can hold spots down for some time, though they may eventually want Rivers to move to a wing. Hibberd and Jetta are both the wrong side of 30 and that leaves us with either unproven or NQR options like Lockhart, Hore and Smith.

    Oh and as for disposal, since 2016 Williams lowest disposal efficiency in any season is 71%, a mark Lockhart is yet to hit in his two seasons.

    Given this stage of trade week, I only want TMac to go IF we can secure T Phillips for the wing spot.  Otherwise happy for him to stay, get fit and prove us all wrong...

    My wish would be for TMAC to stay and prove everyone wrong, and also for the club to make sure that AVB realises he is a wanted and valued player, despite what was in the papers.

    Its quite a day.

    Ben Brown,  

    2020 draft picks. 18, 19, 28, 50.

    risky to trade out future 1st in 2021 but it shows our aggressive and creative style 

    hoping it carries over to the 2021 coaching and playing style

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
