No way is he worth a 1st rounder.

We should deal the way they liked to deal on the Jackson trade.

He's out of contract so we will give you...what a 2nd rounder?, 3rd rounder?

We certainly don't owe them anything.

    No club will pay a first rounder for him, he has barely been playing for Freo.

    I still want him though.

    Fact of the matter is, we need a shake up. We need a more dynamic and potent list and an injection of players who can finish their work.

    I'd be showing Harmes, Jordan, T-Mac, Melksham, Hibberd, Smith and Tomlinson the door in order to get a couple of trades,host of new talent and keep exposing our kids.

    We are completely vanilla  at the moment. Shut down Oliver or Trac and we wilt. Pressure us and we wilt.  

    Whilst Collingwood treated their players the wrong way, their hard decisions look to be paying off. They are a list with realy X factor, excitement and they have such a great blend of attributes all over the field.

    Loved him in his draft year and he’s obviously talented. He’s struggled at afl level so far, but he was very good off half back on the weekend. 

    Out of contract and hasn’t performed so shouldn’t cost much in a trade. I’d be all for getting him in as we need more players with pace and skill to compliment our one paced overly inside midfield.

    He has been playing well for a few weeks and if we want him and he wants us and especially good mate Kozzie, he will be a Demon.

    Didn’t look so crash hot when we dominated them for 80% of the game 2 weeks ago.

    They were one kick away from being beaten at home by the 8th team on the weekend. It’s seems flashy and exciting because they come from behind a lot, but their forward line is as much of a problem as ours, and there’s some clear weak links in their system.

    good player. Freo have a lot of good small forwards so hard to break through. 

    I’d offer a second rounder

    the problem would be finding a team that want these blokes

    garage sale at the G. of the seven you might get a trade out of two

    Their record since the halfway mark of last season speaks for itself. 

    No team is unbeatable, and if you followed them I'm sure you would have noted their brigade of missing players and if Binman followed them he would probably say they're in a heavy loading phase, hence the drop off. 

    We devised a plan to beat them at a time when they were vulnerable and due. 

    I still think their list is much better balanced and placed, regardless of the fact that we beat them.

    Factor in their incredible MCG advantage…less travel ..even playing a team off the bye when they were off the bye..their obnoxious but loud crowd who influence umpiring decisions..I.e. against Adelaide. I can only dream what we could achieve with their fixture .. Apart from all that …totally disagree with your summation of their list vs ours .

    How many premierships has Colinwood won in the last 12 years? Actually, how many have they won since '58?

    Exactly. You know there is little to excite in this years free trade period when the headliner is a reserves player at a club currently 11th on the ladder.

    Problem is we haven’t really seen our best this year. Why not?

    For me, this sums it up: apart from the odd game, we have been a bit ‘meh’ for some time. It’s good that we have shored the defence up again, but it would be nice to see a bit of swashbuckle to go with it.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
