The footy gods have cursed quite a few trades for Freo, here’s hoping it continues (though nothing against Jackson personally).

    We will. It’s more about the size of the barrel now.

    Well, its finally over. i dont expect many will be totally happy as its certainly not what we wanted, but it wasnt really our fault, in the end its what we do with the picks from here on end and that will determine if we did well. I fully expect for us to live trade on draft night if not still try and move further up.

     

    As for Dogga, a life member, an historic premiership, a rising star and a good young fella who really gave everything. Here for a good time not a long time. Good luck to him. But from here on end, if you not with us, you are against us.

    Good luck to Jackson at Dockers. Can't complain about a player wanting to return home.

    But to be classified as a 'Rental' not a Demon.

    Match committee selection decisions in 2022 effectively guaranteed Bedford would ask for a trade to a team where he had confidence he'd play senior footy.

    Not happy with all of this and if the compensation is what's been mooted, then my only wish is they pick a Victorian kid that wants to come home and we screw the hell out of them, to get him.

    Yep, thats the part that has me a bit disappointed.. but lets turn the picks into a positive. Could that future dockers second go to the Pies?

    So it could work out as Pick 13, 12 and 30 (next year) for Bedford and 44 and 67

    Next years draft is meant to be excellent so 12 and 30 should be able to be packages to get into top 10

    Not too bad, considering

    Hard not to read this as: Melbourne gain a couple of potential stars for Casey, and the city of Fremantle to receive a new cashed up bogan.

    44 is GWS' pick, so it's the above picks for Jackson, Bedford and 67.

    Club will be confident they can use pick 30 to move either first round picks forward this year or next otherwise this would drag out further

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
