Almost read the article until I saw it was authored by a dirty gambling company. Neds (and their counterparts) can GAGF.

    I've been reading a few threads recently, and I've come to the conclusion that

     

    Hogan, Lever and May

    fit this bill...

    Hard to go past the MacLeod Groome trade. An absolute shocker

    Acquiring free agent Zaine Cordy after 3 days of trade week, as a club on a 56 year premiership drought while stuck in the mid-table with a pick that barely scrapes into the top 10 each year.

    2001, trading Jeff Farmer and Pick 41 for Clint Bizzle.

    I really liked Bizzle, but we lost that trade badly.

    Freo gave away Pick 1 and mid range picks to Hawthorn for Trent Croad and Luke McPharlin. Croad  went back to Hawthorn and played in a flag with Hodge and Mitchell, who the Hawks got with the Freo picks.

    You have to take what you can get when a player is leaving

    Darren Kowal wasn't a bad player..D.Wirra was better off course but every time Jack Darling takes a Mark or Kicks a goal i punch myself in the head. Thanks to MfC for Lucas's Cook. Can't think of one worse for us.

    my cousin tells a good story one day that when 'moo' kowal was running to the bench one day i yelled "and keep running!"

    suffice to say, he never played for the mfc again

    i have no recollection of saying this

    but it's the little things...

    Hahahaha. I Apologise the Cook and Darling situation wasn't a trade just that we chose Cook over Darling but still today it grinds my gears.

    Clint played some excellent games for us, not his fault at all.

    Personally at the time was pleased that Biz came to the Ds.

    Hold on a minute, I'll get out the big book labelled 'Fremantle'.

     

    GC Suns of recent times (admittedly, most requested to be traded): Prestia, Dixon, O’Meara, Hall, Saad, Lynch, Lyons, Wright, May, Brodie, etc.

    And now Bowes and Rankine

    Gary Moorcroft trade to Melbourne was probably the worst ever.

    Was an absolute waste.

    His mate Heffernan says hi

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
