I wonder whether Amartey at the Swans is gettable. At 197cm, he has so much upside… great pair of hands, ability to ruck when needed, good kick; has looked very good on the rare occasions he got to fill a vacancy in the Swans side.

I think they personally should of told Buddy to retire or change clubs. They can’t play all of Franklin, Reid, McDonald and Amarty.

    And we will have lost our 3 fastest players if Kozzie is in the departure lounge.

    Could be time to add him to the Jacko trade.

    Acres to the Blues for a future third rounder being mentioned tonight. That’s a steal for the Blues. Acres had a good year and was their best player in the semi final.

    We need more outside mids so he would’ve been a good cheap option on the opposite wing to Langdon at that price.

    So pick 12 and 19 for Taranto

    Seems to be likely a future 2nd from Collingwood for Hill

    Hopper looks to be centred around a future 1st and pick 30 from richmond

    Mentioned Soldo to head north, presumably to GWS.

    Bruhn specifics not mentioned but would presumably involve either Geelongs pick 18 or a future 1st.

     

    GWS could have pick 3, 12, 18, 19, 21, 30

    Plus future 1st from Richmond and future 2nd from Collingwood.

    Maybe we can swap Bedford and 32 for 21. Then 21 to Pies for Grundy

    What worries me a bit is we (Freo) were possibly looking to trade up, to get that Pick 8

    I hope this is a sign that Port has stopped chasing Kozzie. Or that Kozzie has told them to f off.

    Gotta change the contracts for first rounder draftees. The top kids get drafted to the struggling clubs and want to leave straight away. A number one pick leaving after one season is not good for the game.

    Can't see anyway North sanctions a trade.

    This is a far cry from the JHF seen to be so excited about joining North he was sleeping in his Jumper after draft night.

    This has to be good for us,  they can't possibly afford to get Picket as well now(this year)

    Reckon you’re correct. 4 year min perhaps.

    • 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.
