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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
