Is it just me, I feel exhausted by this trade period so far, as it appears that everyone has achieved their goals bar us. The Hunt trade for steak knives from the AFL left me feeling angry, Bedfords trade helped get Jacko deal over the line and we still didn’t crack into the top 10 ( for a Unicorn?) and we still haven’t completed the trade for Grundy. Now Weid has been dropped into the pan for what gain? And we are still trying to offload Thommo. I am hoping that Weid and Thommo will be player swaps to help ease my anxiety levels.!!!

Hunt wasn't a deal,  he left as a free agent.

Whilst I was not impressed with the Jackson trade, basically we will have traded out Jackson and Bedford  and got in Grundy and 2 first rounders.

If we get a third rounder for Weid that great for us, but if he does leave I think we have to hold Tommo as a tall back up

    I think there’s 4 winners but it’s incredible that Port got GWS to pay the extras North needed. Like asking a mate to pay the stamp duty

    best guess is that gw$ would rather bring in one elite talent that's 50-50 to go home than have two come in with the same odds

    Let’s hope like hell that Lobb gets to Freo. With him and Logue gone they have few tall fwd options. 

    Death Ride FREO!

    I’m not sold on this culturally. It’s reported Hawkins is on 300k in 2023. Wonder how he feels knowing a bloke that’s probably behind Menegola (who couldn’t get a game in the finals) is getting paid twice that to play in the VFL?

    It is a culture test for sure.

    This is just wrong and completely flies in the face of the AFL’s equalisation standing.

    The Gold Coast deals are a blight on the AFL.

    If I was Gil I'd be pretty annoyed that they have basically had to throw away picks and players after they were given pick packages not long ago.

    That 'club' is an embarrassment to the game.

    Wow. That’s the midfield gutted and a very very good goalkicker.  I’d say they are aiming already at Harley Reid or Ashton Moir in the ‘23 draft. 

    Hopefully they stay away from Nick Watson

    There is an old saying the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, unfortunately Geelong get better whilst the rest of the competition tread water.

    That Bowes deal is an absolute disgrace.

    I would not be too optimistic re Kozzie unless Dees relocate to Adelaide.

    Kozzi!  Listen to me! I lived in Adelaide for  20 years or so and believe me, it's not all that great!

    By June this year, I had moved back to the pastures of Heaven; yes, outside of Melbourne in the countryside but I assure you, being back in Victoria amongst life's options galore, it is comparatively restful, abundant, well-optioned, closer to the 'G, there are fewer 'whingers', the air is redolent and it feels like home should feel. Give it a year or two to settle into our paradise, as well. You bring us great traditions and abilities; please allow us to enjoy just one of these multiple, super attributes you possess at this point - your footballing prowess - and make the Dees your permanent home. South Aussie ain't got it.

    Now that @Redleg I will agree with you is a corrupt deal.  The AFL should never have approved that.

    AFL handing GC 900 first round draft picks, only for GC to cook their books and give away players and top 10 picks for free.

    Seriously, how is this OK?

    2019 draft: Geelong trade pick 27 for GC mid first round free pick.

    2020 trade period: Geelong trade 3 first rounders  (2 of them barely) to GWS for Jeremy Cameron, including the GC pick (by this stage pick 15)

    2020 draft: Geelong trade a future first for Max Holmes, stealing him from us. They wouldn’t have had a future first if they used it in the GWS trade. Ie. The suns trade the year previous freed up that pick

    2021 trade: Cats trade for pick 7. Demons unable to trade up from pick 13 for what would’ve been an excellent target pick 

    In other words, the GC got benefits. The GC gave those benefits to the Cats. The Cats screw us.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
