Certainty to Cats for Selfridge and Hawkins.They need to get blokes who can supply a steady stream of free kicks and winging.

    Dogs - 14 to melb

    Melb - 14 + 2022 1st (18) to Freo

    Freo - Cerra to Melb

     

    Nice idea. Can't trade 3 first round picks in 3 years. That might stop it? 

    $s shouldn't be a problem as he will be taking less than Freo offered to get to Melbourne and a club in contention.

    The one thing I know about the MFC recruiting team is that we're targeted and strategic. 

    If we're going after Cerra and have the money for him (which we clearly do) then we'll find a way to get him across. 

    Might involve losing a couple of lesser players (Weid, Sparrow etc) but we don't go out on a shooting spree like Norf. 

    If Cerra wants to come to us, we'll find a way.

    Anyone who wants Vanders will be able to get him as a DFA. I’m a fan, but he’s just about at the end of the road.

    Have to vacate the #22 for Taj somehow....

    It's certainly looking increasingly unlikely that we'll have the draft capital to satisfy Fremantle unfortunately.

    From Sam McClure article.

    While Cerra is said to be extremely impressed with Melbourne’s presentation, he is also excited at the proposition of playing alongside Carlton duo Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh.

    Carlton propaganda. Disregard.

    Getting rid of Sparrow? Crazy. Great game against Brisbane and will only get better.

    my word, the reporting on this is bad, even for footy journos.  basically tweet/print any random thing they think of

    We won't get it done without Jackson going to Freo.  what utter nonsense!   we don't have a first round pick - we didnt the last couple of years going in to the draft either did we?  but look at Kozzi and Bowey.

    If we want him enough and he wants us enough, we can get it done.  he would have to accept unders from us though.  would be a massive, the kid is a future gun

    And then we have to pay him ........probably overs .

    Probably Nathan Jones & Nev Jetta are close to retiring so that may give us $$ room, but.......Jackson, Rivers ,Jordon, Bowey ,Sparrow start to move into bigger kids $$$

    We spend our time developing younger players e.g. Chandler, Sparrow, ANB, Jordon, Bowey , Rivers, Jackson and then just throw our development away for a "might be".

    Isn't it amazing that a player at another club is always better than what we have got . Our Midfield is the last area needing strengthening. ( Our 3rd best midfielder is playing on a wing, our ex Captain has modified his game to play compatible football inside our structure)

    Given the age profile (and upside ) of our current list there is a lot of improvement to come and this GROUP is compatible

    Some sensible observations here. Would be nice to get Cerra. But not at the expense of what we already have. In the meantine, there is a premiership to be won.

    Us Melb supporters are so use to discussing potential trades rather than playing finals this time of year, that we have fallen into our usual habits. 

    How we go Fri, and then hopefully in a fortnight, might also have an impact on players wanting to come to us.

    True, but gut feel is it wouldn't be draft picks we would trade anyway.

    Fair bit to play out in this story IMO.

    Surely we aren't going through all this effort to have a meeting with him and not think we can pull something out of the hat.

    I think that was a throwback to the Sydney trade offer.

    100% believe we might get him, but just don't think we'll be trading picks to Freo for him.

    Can’t stand hyperbole like this!


    So, by this logic, Fremantle wouldn’t accept Clayton Oliver for Cerra?  How about Petracca?  Maybe we could package Rivers and Kossie and throw in a first rounder??

    Jon Ralph trying to fill his Twitter profile with definitive statements to make it appear that he is ‘in the know’.  On reality, he sounds like a fool.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
