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).

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
