    Will 6, 11 and a future first get the Reid deal through? Hope so would love him on our side.

    They'd probably ask for a Rivers, JVR or McVee in the package.

    If we trade 6 etc for 1 how do WC get Curtain? I thought he was a nominal pick 3


    Don’t believe everything you read... although if you read my posts you’d notice I’ve said he’s rated about pick 6 all along.

    I can’t imagine we are making these moves if we haven’t had it made very clear to us what it will take to get a deal done.

    Should we get 7 + Haynes as a salary dump, it will be interesting to see what happens with Petty.

    Could we realistically end up with 5, 7, 10 and 11? To be partially mixed into a bid for 1?

    Sweet Garbo. 

    You're not understanding. 

    This is not about 'rushing' into a trade. I know as much or as little as you!!!! 

    Here's what we've heard from the media: Petty has a desire to get back to SA at some point. And Adelaide are hell bent on getting him this trade period and have offered what myself and many believe to be overs in pick 10, 20 and McAdam. 

    Now. 

    If that is true, we'd be a poorly run club not to entertain this offer given the options it gives us going forward. 

    What are those options, (everyone keeps asking me). I don't [censored] know!!!! 

    BUT!! 

    What I do know is that we already have a strong draft hand. We have a fantastic list manager and recruiter and have an enormously positive track record in this space. 

    What people on demonland need to get in their heads is what our future looks like post Gawn and May. Where will our list be? What kind of pain needs to be inflicted now to give us a positive looking future? 

    It honestly seems like nobody is thinking that way. 

    I don't care if we don't make finals next year or the year after if it means we can have another four cracks at it in three-four years time. 

    You also have to look at what that kind of thing does for the growth of the club as far as new supporter and membership goes...

    I don't get why people don't think of this? 

    You want flags now and only now?!

    We just missed out on two golden opportunities. Time to look forward with this list and entertain any and all offers that could benefit our club going forward.

    Sometimes I think of this place as being a cult. And Saty runs it. 

    Saty would still have Jordie McKenzie, Rohan Bail and Matthew Bate as our leadership group promising that they're improving every pre-season. 

    (all the while we'd be bottom of the ladder losing games by 100 points). 

    Unless you think Petty has peaked as a player why sell now when we can extract even more value in future years and continue to have a best 22 player on our list, it only stands to reason if Petty continues to improve which is more likely that not we will get even better offers next year and the year after. Crows trying to get him now before his value goes up even further.

    Pretty is a 197cm premiership player at 23 years of age and could possibly turn into a forward. Why on earth do people want to let him go for pick 10 + maybe something in the 20's? Madness.

    If petty doesn’t go but we got pick 7 and Haynes

    would we offer pick 5 (or is it pick 6?) and 11 for pick 1? Or would pick 5(pick6)and 7 be more realistic you reckon?

    Haynes only has the 1 year on his contract to go, so he wouldn't get in the way of a bigger target for next year, if that's what our plans are. Makes sense if they want him off the books. Don't think Petty has to come into the thoughts on this deal

    Can somebody explain how we can get GWS 7 and Heynes. I have no idea how that can be played out after our trades today.

    The deal for pick 11 looks incredibly one-sided.

    So there are 2 potential outcomes we are aiming for from this (potentially either would satisfy us):

    1. We orchestrated the move with a deal in mind that will require pick 11 and make the lopsided nature of the initial trade seem irrelevant (see Hogan for picks that acquired May, Steven); OR

    2. There is a player we think is very likely to be available at pick 11 that is unlikely to be available at 14 and worth the price we paid.

    I think the first option is more likely, but hopefully both are true in case the first does not come to fruition. Chances are that that players we have our eyes on that would have been taken with the 2 later picks that went for pick 11, will still be available with the late picks we hold (e.g. Brown & Andrew)

    I’d be happy to somehow get McAdam AND keep Petty. 
     

    And McAdam could fill Petty in about what’s been happening in Adelaide to help stave off the homesickness.

    Funny that I’ve been calling him “Heyne” thinking others were getting it wrong, but I had Haynes confused with a St Kilda reject from 12 years ago.

    Salary cap dump by GWS. Haynes is owed close to $1 million next year, whereas we could absorb that but get the good pick doing so. We might have to trade a future 2nd but get pick 7 and Haynes. GWS get a token pick and salary space.

    Does Adelaide picking up tall forward Chris Burgess mean that a Petty deal is less likely?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
