This has been debunked by Sam Edmund as pure guess work from a random nuffy supporter who texted in to SEN. SEN then did some follow up work.

Edmund on to say that he doesn't think there is anything in the works and that Melbourne are now acknowledging that games need to be put into the younger players instead of going out and buying big.

Sorry to disappoint.

Is that a fact?

Pretty sure @Nudge and @Ethan Tremblay have their fingers on the pulse of something big. Come on guys - show your cards!

    🍐💀🏇 2024; make it happen, you cowards

    might be a chance with port looking to split their 2024 first into multiple second round selections to get the esava, bzk, and sweet deals done

    we are likely to have a bunch of second rounders - could be as many as four after the grundy deal and jj compo are done - that we probably don't need

    That would be their assumption, as they actually know nothing.

    If they did know anything, the teasers would be flying.

    That's the impression I got listening to it first time round. Hopeful demon supporter surmising that we must have something in the works with our draft capital and salary cap space.

    I think we get McAdam and a back-up ruck, then focus on improving our draft hand in this year and next.

    In my view, we will have a good crack at a serious player next year.

    I reckon the odds of McLean coming to us as part of the Grundy trade is a fair chance.  He played 22 games in the ruck and fwd, kicked 21 goals. He won't be playing much with Grundy there.  Only 24.  Him and Gawn would work nicely together

    197cm 99kg about to enter his prime.  Swans have a lot of talls

    If not him, then one of their tall fwds.  They will have Reid, McDonald and Amartey. Can't really play all three

    Or even throw in the unknown Jack Buller. 199cm fwd/ruck. 22yo, done well in the WAFL last year apparently.

    Can't see McLean being cleared after his last game.

    Amartey is a chance, but no star and probably behind Petty and JVR atm.

    Don't know anything about Buller.

    Could be just diverting.

    Anyway, surely we are not losing so many players and just looking to draft young replacements.

    McAdam in and then we could have another 5-6 spots.

    If we got talented kids I wouldn't mind, but it doesn't sound likely and of course we need that extra mature ruckman.

    I wonder if we'd have a look at Ladhams? he's more of a forward ruck and likely falling down the pecking order at the Swans

    He’s a spud, we don’t want spuds. If we recruit a tall spud Max will end up doing all the ruck work and be cooked come September. We have Schache as back up. We need someone half decent so Max can rest during the year.

    Feeling the love.... I know where I'm not wanted!!

     

    Btw I agree Re; Ladhams, complete spud and undisciplined one at that. 

    Doubt Saints would offer him up, but coming back from a knee you never know, so I'd enquire about Jack Hayes...

    We need someone who can read the chaos ball we send forward.

    Naughton fits this perfectly.

    Petty looks like he knows how to be a forward

    He's a [censored] and a spud. The Swans are chasing Grundy now because Hickey has retired and Ladhams has failed as an AFL player. Not to mention he's undisciplined. Got suspended again on the eve of finals when Hickey was out and left his club without a ruckman. And his treatment of young Woey on the boundary last year in the VFL last year was disgraceful. I'd be disgusted with the club if they brought him in. 

    We'll likely bring in a battler or mature ager as backup for Max the next two years until our young rucks develop and add Kalani White as development too.

    From being drafted, let alone how many more to be ready, if he is even good enough.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
