    Wouldn't have thought a small forward would be high on their priority list given they had Bobby Hill, Jack Ginnivan, Jamie Elliott & Beau McCreery all playing in their GF team.

    He's an upgrade on Ginnivan, Elliot is aging.

    Makes complete sense.

    Elliot is 31, Ginnivan is looking like he is not 1st choice , McCreery is avearge and a bad kick at goal. Bobby Hill had a great finals series but inconsistent.

    I'd take schulze over all of the above @ the Dee's . He is a tough smart forward and just what we need, bummer he will end up at the filth

    It’s not done yet, if I’m Freo I’m asking for 2 first round picks.

    North would surely offer one of their end of first rounders if they could get him.

    No reason for Freo to give him away a year early for anything but massive overs.

    Bloody good get by Collingwood. Schultz is a gun. Just the sort of player we need.

    1 year left. Freo should drive a hard bargain. Will definitely take Pick 18 and some change to get it done.

    Interesting that 30mins ago Goldstein has been confirmed to make his way to the bombers but no confirmation on McKay. Think they were submitted at the same time.

    Schulz a free agent next year, due to delisted free agency. What a mess that covid inspired exception is.

    If I’m Freo I’m still holding him and expecting someone to pay end of first round money based on Doedee.

    If it's pick 3 though they are taking that and running no? Adelaide didn't match doedee and got pick 19 straight away today. 

    Maybe wishfully thinking but perhaps it's not band 1 like they hoped?

    the problem with this is that players demand trades and pretty much always get their way

    if clubs had the ability to trade players under contract where they so chose, he would - as you said earlier - probably be exchanged for one of north's end of first round compo-for-being-[censored] picks and he'd be there for a year before being able to sign wherever he wants as a free agent

    the trade and free agency system in afl is garbage

    It's borderline tampering with fair competition, just look at the JHF situation.

    Trading players without their consent is terrible, they don’t make enough money for that disruption.

    It’s a terrible system. There’s lots of better changes possible.

    But clubs do hold players to contracts. There’s plenty who want to leave and don’t make it to trade week.

    Freo can hold him or open up bids to everyone else if the Pies don’t come to the party. The nature of the family issues and the Pies keenness to pay up will probably determine if Freo budge.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
