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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
