With picks # 6,8,19 & 22 Freo are now well positioned to trade further up the draft board.

    One of their last two picks will go to Geelong for Clark

    Carlton have finally recruited an actual quality midfielder.

    they may finally move out of the bottom 6 next year

    They could have just drafted him 4 years ago.

    Interesting change of plans from the hawks. I hope it blows up in their face..... But I'm probably asking for too much.

    The news of the day from Melbourne’s perspective was not its involvement in trades but rather, the re-signing of a raft of players including Kade Chandler who was being courted by the Crows. The seven players include senior listers Oskar Baker and Toby Bedford and rookies Mitch Brown, Chandler, Majak Daw, Deakyn Smith and Daniel Turner. This leaves the club with three players left uncontracted - Michael Hibberd, Marty Hore and rookie Kye Declase although it has been reported that Hibberd has been offered a one year deal. It’s looking very much like there’s not much room left for more than 2 or 3 newcomers at the draft. 

    Done Deals

    9. Collingwood trade their round two selection (22) to Fremantle for their round two selection (27) and a future third-round pick.
    10. Fremantle trade a future second-round pick and future fourth-round pick to Gold Coast for Will Brodie, a second-round pick (19) and two picks from round four (61, 69).
    11. Fremantle trade Adam Cerra to Carlton for pick six and a future third-round pick.
    12. Tim O’Brien (Hawthorn) joins the Western Bulldogs as an unrestricted free agent.
    13. In a three-way trade, the Western Bulldogs traded Lewis Young to Carlton.
    Carlton traded Sam Petrevski-Seton to the West Coast Eagles.
    The West Coast Eagles traded their round three selection (52) to the Western Bulldogs.

    If we're only taking 1 or 2 picks into the draft then I would presume that we would move on pick 37, 49 and 57 into something better for this year or into next. 49 and 57 may come in by half a dozen spots or more and could be valuable for clubs still wanting points.

    Capturing a creature like Powell - Pepper should require an actual lure.

    Makes a bit of sense why Freo is entertaining trading Lobb to GWS.  He is taking up a could chunk of Salary cap room, off load him and add O'Meara.  They will get Clark deal done with pick 22, Pick 8 would get the O'Meara deal done maybe with a Hawthorn Pick.

    Can't believe Rory Lobb would be on 700K as suggested on trade shows last night....Massive overs for a player who has never shown more than bits and pieces.

    You can't see GWS paying the entire amount if the trade happens

    Just to light a fire... what about James Sicily to our backline to free up Mr H Petty to roam forward in the TMAC role.  A big clunker of marks.

    A reverse Frawley if you will....

    I think Mitchell sees him as the next captain, so doubt he'll let him go.

    I like the idea of a reverse Frawley though haha.

    Is the trade period always this boring? Or is it just because this year we have had something far more enjoyable still in the front of our minds? This is a serious question. In previous years, because we've had little else to be enthusiastic about, trading and drafting became the highlights for us. But were other years as slow and boring as this one?

    • 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.
