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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
