    I am a bit disillusioned with no-one really wanting to join us. 

    Why ? You can take a view that come to MFC and you’ll be playing sometime in the VFL… I wouldn’t want that either.

    Doesn't help seeing premiership players like JJ and Harmes leaving either.

    Think it’s more when cats and tigers and hawks needed big name players in there window they got them. Tigers and cat needed another key fwd got Lynch and Cameron, cats needed a mid got danger, hawks needed key backs got Lake and Frawley.  Why are we unable to get a king or larkey like they would, even swans tried and failed for naughton. where it the story of us making a 10 year 12 mill offer for someone

    My sources tell me that we have struck a deal with Carlton. We are getting McKay and Curnow in exchange for pick 46 and Bailey Laurie.

    Is that better?

    Or like when Lever picked us over Collingwood and May picked us over Collingwood and Hawthorn

    Well yes... but small beer really, compared with those jumping ship to other large clubs in contention.

    The only player going to a “large club in contention” I’d want is Schultz.

    Who even are the others? Taylor Adams? Ratugolea?

    You misread his post. He's referring to clubs that had already won a flag in their window and acquired a big fish.

    Why are we giving such a high pick, can't we get Walsh thrown in?

    It is very possible we finalise McAdam and Fullarton for later picks and do nothing else this trade period.

    I suspect we won't know about any pick upgrade swaps for a while, as there is no need for WC or North to swap now, as it can be done as late as on draft night, just before the pick being chased is used.

    If that's the case, why do the pick 14 to 11 upgrade? Even if we don't intend on using the 2nd round picks we threw in, we could have traded them for future picks?

    Because other teams were chasing it i.e. Crows and North

    Gee, so many reasons that I hate Cats, another example above. Port offering overs. Apart from some good games this year as a defender, Ratugolea been very mediocre IMO, given taken with pick 43 in 2016 think pick 24 is good return for someone wanting out.

    Because we feel that we need 11 for future use and some club like Adelaide, wanted it too.

    Both those clubs acquired 1st round picks subsequently via trades. North need picks in order to get Pick 1. And Adelaide now have 3 picks in the top 20, which dare I say it, may be used to acquire Petty.

    I'm just curious to know what our intentions are for pick 11. Why is it so important to move up 3 places in the draft?

    Yeah but they would've gone for pick 11 if our offer wasn't the best.

    I don’t think I did, Cats hadn’t won a flag when they picked up Danger or Cameron, nor had Hawks (08 defensive group had dropped off) when Lake went there. Both sides were in contention when those players wanted to move there

    Sure Ed Curnow has great running endurance but let the man retire in peace! How would you use a veterinarian at the Demons though? I am sure Andrew McKay would take good care of any club affiliated pooches 🐶

    PS - may need pick 41 instead of 46 to get this trade over the line 😁

    Frawley joined the Hawks after they won a flag. Danger joined the Cats when they still had the core of their 2011 Premiership team. Cameron joined the Cats after they lost the 2020 G/F. 

    His point stands. They acquired big names whilst in their premiership window.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
