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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
