Naughton and JVR hitting packs and scattering oppo defenders would be a joy to behold

I'd be tempted to offer the 2 first rounders we receive from Freo and our own first rounder next year it that's what it takes

Make it happen MFC

    i'll put my hand up. Heard it from a sports journalist who heard it from a player. A reliable source but have no more info.

    Thanks for sharing @chook fowler.

    Can you share whether the player was from Melbourne or were they from the Dogs?

    Dees
    In: Naughton
    Out: Jackson, 3rd-4th rounder 

    Dogs
    In: Lobb, Tomlinson 
    Out: Naughton, 3rd-4th rounder 

    Freo
    In: Jackson
    Out: Lobb, x2 top 10 picks 

    Freo send Lobb, and two top 10 picks to dogs > Dees send Tommo+salary dump to Dogs, Jackson to Freo

    Naughton is a bit more than Jacko on the market due to his age bracket, playing history and current contract. Giving them Tomlinson on the cheap could benefit both teams if it made the deal happen.

    Hey, just checking, we're only running this thread to see if Tom Browne starts reporting it, right?

    If so, mods delete this post and let's play on.

    Where do the two top 10 picks go in this set up?

    They did, but then didn't include it in what Bulldogs received, so I didn't like it.

    So there's us allowing Tomlinson to seek a trade to the Bulldogs, whilst still under contract.

    There's how the feck do Fremantle satisfy our demands of two first rounders?

    Henry's seen on Clarry's instagram stories.

    Would all parties be satisfied with the following:

    Bulldogs give up Naughton. Bulldogs receive Lobb, a top 10 pick (via Melbourne) and Tomlinson.

    Melbourne gives up Jackson, Tomlinson & a top 10 pick. Melbourne receives Henry and Naughton.

    Fremantle gives up Lobb, Henry & a top 10 pick. Fremantle receives Jackson.

    Crazier things have happened.

    We then give up our future first rounder (hopefully end of first round) for Grundy.

    Grundy, Naughton and Henry would be a huge off season and change the face of our forward half.

    Ahhhhhh.... welcome premierships 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29...... 

    U KNOW THE REST!!!

    Heard a whisper that we are talking to him. 

    I would find it hard to imagine the Dogs trading him in the present circumstances. never know what might happen if they land Lobb.

    Massive downgrade with Lobster, no matter how many first rounders they get in the deal.

    Naughton is on $750,000 (apparently) at the dogs (would be worth more now considering this was a 2019 contract) and we are on the cusp of getting Grundy for about $600,000 or something?

     

    Ok.

    Why? Look at pragmatically. They have an excess of forward talent but are 2 key players short down back and probably another inside midfielder .

    I’d try to find a way to have Bont play more mid / half forward. He would be the hardest match up in the comp roaming around the forward half.2-3 goals per game and involved in another half down scoring chains.

    Ok. 

    I assume you are suggesting we can't afford naughton?

    We would have had to pay Jackson close to 750 to keep him i would have thought, so we have that money and 600k for Grundy is peanuts, so that's not an issue either. If Tomlinson went to the dogs, for example, that's 600k out the door for starters.  

    I'm assuming an advantage of having four long term contracts in Salem, Gus, Tracc and Oliver is that it creates opportunities for some creative accounting in terms of  balancing the books. For example they might have paid a big chunk up front so they had space nect year (for example to pay Jackson).

    Ask your mum and dad. It’s not appropriate for me to explain how it all works.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
