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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
