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

    Melb - Weid + 34 to suns

    Suns - 22 + 43 to melb

    Melb - 22+42+43 to dogs (1618 points compared to 1161 for Darcy)

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
