Hunt won't be involved in any trade

I wouldn’t say that with such a definitive answer.

The back line has been fine without him. Joel Smith has speed and other attributes Hunt does not. Bowey has buckets more footy nous and skills and will likely play a GF in his 7th game.

I like Hunt but wouldn’t be against the trade value he offers to be packaged up in an attempt to bring in a silky player like Cerra.

    I guess you don’t have to revisit this thread again until after the 26th of this month.

    Luke Ball is the last player i remember who took the nuclear option, walking out on St Kilda and getting to Collingwood via the draft. They used a second rounder too i think. Not sure why another club didn't try to pick him up but i guess they knew he wanted to get to the pies so no point selecting a player that doesn't want to be at your club. Doesn't happen too often though 

    I was always a bit [censored] off with Melbourne for not taking him. He made a claim that he would refuse to play for anyone else other than Collingwood which I thought was super arrogant, I wanted us to call his bluff.

    It's never too soon for trade talk. And besides, trade talk helps pass the time from now until the 25th

    I believe it was Sam Edmund not McClure.

    And he didn't say potential move to Freo, he floated it as a question:

    “When it comes to Adam Cerra, (he) hasn’t nominated his club of choice yet because Melbourne have really come hard for him,” Edmund said on SEN.

    “They’ve made their pitch, it was a pitch that really impressed Adam Cerra.

    “Carlton are in the mix and the logical choice here but the Dees not having a pick until the second round… it’s going to take a player to make any trade possible here. Picks obviously aren’t going to get it done. Is it Angus Brayshaw?”

    Gus is settled in Victoria. He has a long term girlfriend and he loves the club and is part of the leadership group. 
    Also he is not allowed to leave or retire until he gets Eddy Langdon on the podcast.

    An Angus Brayshaw retirement announcement may occur before the GF then, which would be less than ideal.

    From the article

    could potentially be on the move, according to footy journalist Sam Edmund, in a deal boosted by a future first round draft pick.

    That's not what he said though, it's not a quote, that's just the newspaper editorializing on it.

    Mate, come on, @Lord Nev gave you the quote.

    The article is just poorly written. Which is not exactly uncommon for AFL media.

    Once a player nominates a club though Dazzle it is fait acompli that it gets done, always, whatever it takes. When is the last time a player nominated a club and it didnt get done. Cant a player just say to other clubs Im only going to x,y,z and thats it? Might be bending Freo over but thats business!

    Mitch Clark nominated Freo. Plus the other examples already given means it’s not always, at all.

    I didn’t say the article was well written nor am I advocating either way what will happen, I simply highlighted it was there

    Take it or leave it, I’m unfussed either way

    Gotta give Sam credit, at least he is trying to be creative rather than dismissing it out of hand like other journos.

    I’m pretty sure Sam and Gerard were just speculating based on a text that came through from a listener. Don’t know if Sam was putting that forward himself.

    Given what we are building culture wise, and Gus’s role in the leadership group and probably the player who sacrifices his own game to play a role more than anyone else in the team, I wouldn’t trade him for dusty let alone a kid who bails out on his club cause it’s a bit hard being away from mummy.

    I know that sounds harsh, but seriously how many of us moved interstate or overseas for years and years for jobs that paid a hell of lot less than his does.

    I don't think Cerra is a must have need.  He is a little bit of cream on top that would be a bonus but not essential.  We will still look at adding or developing outside mids to complement what we already have.

    We don't really need him, he would be icing on the cake in the same way that Maynard would be icing on the cake. 

    We may need a key forward though.

    I wonder if there's any risk Rivers might want to return to Perth. Freo used pick 7 in his draft on Hayden Young and arguably Rivers has been better than Young or certainly at least as good. He's also 2 years younger than Cerra and has already proven he's going to be an outstanding player. But how much of an upgrade is Cerra over Rivers?  It would want to be a lot to give him up unless there's some risk he might want to go back to Perth anyway.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
