West coast ruled out using pick 2 straight for LJ. No way they give up pick 2 and 20 lol.

Knowing nothing about Trade Radio,  is the above a runour, likely deal, or Adam Cooney (as usual) being silly?

    Random hypothetical that has no basis in reality.

    13 + F1st + North's F2nd for Jackson +  our F2nd + Brisbane's F2nd (from GWS for Toby). That would be similar to the Jeremy Cameron trade.

    Edit: that can't happen because I got the GWS - Brisbane swap around the wrong way. But maybe we can get something for Toby to make this work, e.g. Richmond's 31 via the Hopper trade.

    All spit-balling. It is surprising how much of that they are still doing now that the period has started.

    Geelong now in the box seat for Bowes, so that didn't age well...Essendon CEOs have been known to last longer than that!

    But I thought it was MFC deciding where he goes depending on the best trade?

    Except that Bowes is going to Geelong.

    Pies would love to get their hands on 7, as part of the Henry deal, but may settle for 18, now that Cats have 7. Other picks could be involved.

    Half the present team at Hawthorn doesn't want to play with them anyway.

    Agent Jayden on the case. Good lad

    I’d  actually feel less guilty about moving Hunt on if this was to eventuate.

    West Coast are making far too many moves and gestures to be a team that doesn't believe they're a legitimate trade option for Luke Jackson.

    GWS and Sydney but not good ones. North might end up with pick 8 and could trade 8 and their future first but I can’t imagine they’d be too keen.

    Have to imagine the Eagles would want to use a top 10 pick. So they’d need to find a team with 2 of them to give us one. 

    Gold Coast should have 5 and 7 but they’re Gold Coast!

    Agreed.

    Meanwhile Freo are weakening their draft hand wanting to trade in 2 GCS players.

    Unless they can somehow swap F1st round picks (and others to get the right balance) as part of the trade their chances of getting a deal done for LJ are slipping.

    So we get pick 13 and GCS F1st. 

    It works in theory but can't see them doing that.

    #7 is gone with Bowes to Geelong

    I could see a situation where that pick 2 goes to the Cats for pick 7, 18 and potentially a swap of picks. 

    The Eagles are more keen on picks in the teens due to W.A talent there and would be rapt if they could get in Jackson for 7 and 20 and keep pick 18 in the first round i reckon

    They could swap with GWS for 12 and 15 +/- equalisers.   Use 15 and give us 12 and their own F1st!!

    The problem is that the Cats need to find two first round picks for Henry and Bruhn so pick 2 doesn't help them do those trades.  Of course they could offer it to GWS and get 12 and 15/19 back.

    So many permutations!

    I wish next Wednesday would come round quickly!!

    I hate the Cats with a passion.  If we lose Jacko and get pick 18 (and a future whatever) while they upgrade to pick 2 (essentially because they can pay Bowes salary) I will spew 🤮

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
