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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
