What makes it extra delicious is that Bell is at Dodoro levels of being difficult to trade with and must always be perceived to have won whatever trade he is doing.

    I love the visual near the end of Show me the Money 2 with our team casually strolling out, all deals done while player managers are running past them in a frenzy trying to finalise last minute deals.

    I honestly can't wait to play them at the G in a few weeks time.

    Double motivation to destroy them. I want to win by 10+ goals, and I want Grundy to dominate Jackson and I then want to see Jackson line up on Steven May at FF. LOL.

    Wouldn't mind JVR kicking 5 on their Captain too 👍

    Will get better when they get a few players back. They have nothing to tank for anyway because their first round pick goes to GWS anyway.

    Not sure about that. 

    I might ride their 'death train' along with GWS supporters who hold the Tigers first pick; a pick we may want to trade up for.

    Looking t the ladder, we need a couple of teams to really ream Freo and kill their percentage. Need to force it down into the 60's, that way equal points means they'll drop lower.

    It's Saturday night game v th hawks, you think Mitchell will want to perform in the game for optics.

    So ideal scenario is WC last, Richmond 17th and Freo 16th?

    However hard to see both NM and Hawthorn above Richmond and Freo.

    Ah look I'm happy with any combo, as long as those teams are down there and stay down there!

    Yep, I think we can take a week off the death ride and wish Freo all the best. I hope Jackson has a Weideman-level day out.

    Hawthorn are tanking so hard they are attracting Ukrainian farmers.

    Hawks have a surprise win or two in them. Lost to GWS and Crows by 2&3 points. Should have been well ahead of dogs by half time but faded after that. 
    If Freo make as many simple skill errors as they did against Brisbane and Hawks kick a bit better they are a sneaky chance.

    After watching a lot of games this weekend it’s hard to see anything other than WC, Hawks and North being the bottom 3 clubs. So I think our pick will be somewhere between 4-7. 
    I expect Richmond to improve and move up the ladder a bit when they get a few of their key players back, so the Suns and GWS picking up wins this weekend is great for our chances of being closer to 4 than 7. 
    If Freo do finish in the bottom 6 we will enter this years trade and draft period in a much stronger position than the 2019 draft when we picked up Jackson, Kossie and Rivers and will hopefully have just win the flag.

    He's extraordinarily difficult to deal with and always keeps other clubs waiting till the last minute. He is the road block on trade week mostly.

    And Ess have nothing to show for it in over 20 years.

    Agree. 

    I would argue they are almost in better form than freo - at least they are not experimenting with their method 7 rounds into the season

    What if we ignore the draft entirely and package up our 2 first round picks in a trade for Ben King?

    Dunno Flash, I'd love to have him but not sure how many Texas-sized checks we have left in the kitty!

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
