Wieid likely on the way out. Probably Dons 3rd or 4th. Throw that in with pick 27 for Grundy.

No need to, we will keep it as we need it.

    I wouldn't be trading Weid out yet if the Grundy deal falls through. Of course, Collingwood has waited to see what we get from free and getting greedy.

    No deal and see how they manage their salary cap and invite Grundy back into the fold after rejecting him. Hold the line, Tim.

    Just spotted this years picks after todays trading:

    13, 27, 54,72

     

    27 will go to Pies, probably tomorrow.

    We get 42 approx for Weid.

    Bundle that with 54 and 72 and maybe get a pick in the 30’s and that with 13 will be our 2 picks this year.

    This is bluster for their fans. Just as Lamb coming out and saying we wanted two first round picks for Jackson.

    It's optics.

    Is Lamb still looking like a hero to our fans because of what he said last week about the Jackson and Bedford deals? The bluster is pointless when the result goes the other club's way.

    Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. If we do the deal and he doesn't say anything up top 10 picks, some nuffy supporters complain that we just rolled over.

    Further, it's also a good way of showing the supporting base what they'd like and bar. Even if you don't get it.

    And yet most neutrals are saying we're easily ahead in this deal.

    It's only the eternal wristslashing MFC supporters that think we got dudded.

    We'll use 27 + whatever we get for Weid traded onto Collingwood for Grundy

    It'll be no fuss in the end, you're all so dramatic!

    Trouble for the beloved and idiotic Pies is the clowns have signed up people and promised others and should have done the Grundy deal first. Let them [censored] the bed I say.

    Even if we dont have another ruckmen 🤣

    For starters, what we got for Jackson and Bedford was spot on.

    Lamb doesn't have to appease the nuffie supporters. That's the sort of stuff that Dodo does. All he has to say is that we're still working through things. He'll cop more backlash now from supporters.

    I don’t think we have any option but to give Collingwood what ever they’re asking for (within reason) - if we’re in a hurry to get rid of Weid.

    Imagine Gawn come next finals series if he’s shouldered 98% of the ruck for the entire home and away season with  literally no viable back up.

    Grundy will surely be a Demon next year.

    Lamb had showed that we will fold and get fleeced and now Collingwood want to cash in on our desperation. Seems like we played the nice guy and got played. 

    Or we could just wait. Looks like we have one deal we need to get done, and this is it. If it doesn’t get done I’d say Collingwood are over their TPP. That is a world of pain.

    Just wait.

    Timmy Lamb would be feeling less comfortable than he’d like right about now.  

    Most likely it gets done without too much fuss but the fact Collingwood are going to the media on this (after starting the discussions in good faith) suggests some risk that they might dig in and go harder on this than Lamb had expected.

    Or they are posturing for the feral supporters! Diverting blame when they take the deal for P27. 

    I’m hoping so

    relax guys that journalist just said a pick slide of 13 to 16 was floated early in the trade period.  this is not a new development

    no way we are sending 13 to the Pies in any trade

     

    Time to drop the Grundy deal. We need a development deal - not a sunset career across a limited timeframe. We need someone with a strong ability to merge into our game style and with our current players (those who are left or ascending from Casey). Rest assured, Goodwin will not be making onfield modifications or plans - so innovative and clever thinking is going to be an absolute requirement from those we may select. I can only imagine that our top 5 players will be having an exhaustive season in 2023, filling gaps, having more onfield roles demanded of them, having fewer targets to visualise upfield and attempting to keep the whole team with heads above water.

    We got two firsts and a second. I reckon Freo over paid.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
