Gold Coast need Bowes off their books, not pick 7. 

I mean 13 for taking on Bowes. 
 

Gold Coast thought Bowes was so bad and expensive he required pick 7. Geelong are spreading his contract over 4 years and talking him up big time.

Pick 13 should probably get Bowes off, except GC have no concept of negotiation.

    Freo and GWS win big time in that deal

    Its bad enough as it is, but how did we lose Bedford for nothing?

    I am so disappointed that the club has come out and said we want 2 top 10 picks for Jackson and more than pick  44 for Bedford, and somehow we agreed to both deals that we didn't want.

    I am all for getting deals done, but this has really been a bad outcome unless something magical happens and we turn the Jackson picks into gold.

    I'm guessing 44 to Freo was from GWS. So the deal from Freo is effectively for Jackson AND Bedford?

    It’s done!  Finally! Bring on the draft and let’s move into 2023.

    Freo got a good deal, but also gave everything that they had to give; those expecting more were always going to be disappointed.  For all the talk, it really did turn out that he was always going to Fremantle and they knew it.

    Asides from letting him go to the PSD, the club did everything it could.

    Shocking outcome. Our haul is the minimum we should have received for Jackson let alone losing Bedford for essentially nothing. Pretty annoyed at this

    We got the best deal we could in the circumstances. Best to move on with our other business.

    We have a reputation for being fair to deal with. It's the right policy. Except when it comes to Freo. The next time we deal with them, and we have the leverage, we should screw them to the boards.

    Nah, Tim Lamb needs to come out and give a forensic account to us, the most important stakeholders in the organisation. It's an indictment on the FD that they signed off on this... 😂

    The amount of posters with greater expertise in negotiating on here amazes me 👌

    Reckon we preemptively screwed them with the Hogan deal...

    I'm happy we got something but I really think this needed to result in a pick inside 10. Really hope there's draft day action.

    People crying about the deal forget that he isn't in contract so our 'hand' was never as strong as it would have needed to be to get 2 top 10 picks or whatever the talk was about at the start of the trade period.

    Pick 13 isn't shabby

    I thought the AFL wouldn’t let you trade Futures in more than 1 round?

    Freo have North's future 2nd, so it's all good.

    Tim Lamb: Demands 2 x top 10 picks - one inside 7, won't trade Weideman, wants more than 44 for Bedford.......can we start a whipping ceremony now? ;)

    Bedford’s value was only ever to increase a second rounder up the order or a 3rd rounder.

    We got 2 firsts for Luke.

    We got half a 2nd for Luke, half for Toby.

    We gave up nothing else.

    Would’ve liked the full bonus 2nd rounder for Luke but Freo weren’t going to budge without something back.

    You can if you get one in. Freo got North’s for Logue

    Tim Lamb has really confused me with this.

    Don't talk a big talk if you can't back it up Tim..

    I'll go you one better, we need to assemble a panel of former MFC list managers and heads of the FD in the next 24 hrs who understand football and can hold Lamb accountable to his actions. In future they will also bar any trades that can't be justified, this will be known as the concil of MFC trading.

    We can only truly pass judgement at 8pm on Wednesday.

    Well maybe not until the 2023 draft and trading is completed and even then, maybe not until any draftees we take in 22 and 23 form is exposed, in another few years.

    Not sure how we went from saying we’d at least do really well out of this deal to this outcome.

    absolute scam job this.

    Because he was out of contract and no other club showed realistic interest in a player we did not see in our best 22 this year.

    Something else will bob up now I reckon, perhaps something we haven't expected much.

    We get deals done like this when we have something else to get on with I reckon.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
