A touch of 'double standards here.  Why would the Dockers be fuming?  I don't recall any angst when LJ sought a trade from us. 

Not an apt comparison. It would be more like if Mac Andrew was drafted by us, having spent 5 years developing in our academy. And sought a trade in year 4 after finally playing 17 decent games in a role he'd made his own.

    I would imagine they are only impressed with player requests from players leaving other clubs to come to them.

    That is impressive!

    Toby Bedford would be the best comparison but he probably didn't get the same starting 22 opportunity that Henry had.

    Not a top 10 pick though. I don't like Bell at the best of times, but I can def understand why they'd be annoyed about this particular trade request given the time sunk into Henry's development.

    Freeo not happy a guy in LJ’s draft year deciding to leave…

     

    Hmmmmmm. Is there something wrong here?? I can’t remember the MFC expressing themselves other than LJ was a wanted player, and all the best, sayonara after he left.

    Bell is old school and look at the results. 

    We're little fuss and get the job done every time.

    Now Official. Whats to go to the Saints. Whats wrong with playing for Casey.

    Not so sure about Casey, Langdon hasn’t exactly lit the year up and I had hoped for a bit more from Hunter in terms of helping with connection into our forward line. While they are gut runners I wouldn’t say they have elite speed either would love him at Melbourne.

    Smart recruiting and picked up very cheaply by the Saints. 

    Very smart recruiting indeed.

    Add outside speed and skill, something we haven't been able to address the last few years.

    Getting real 'I bought you dinner, how dare you not sleep with me' vibes out of Fremantle on this.

    Must be quite alarming for Freo supporters to see the number of best-22 and developing players who want out right when they were supposed to be on the cusp of contending.

    Side note: Andrew Brayshaw, Restricted Free Agent, end of 2025.

    Revenge is a dish best served cold

    Andrew would be a great get as Viney hits the twilight of his career.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?
