Wow, surprised how much supporters overrate Harmes. He’s barely had 1 good season.
2018 he looked good in the back half of the season but beyond that he has been very average.

Agreed, its the first round compensation for Gresham that I'm questioning. He belongs in the 3rd round with Harmes. Maybe, just maybe we accepted unders for Harmes.

    Yep not saying Harmes is much chop, just saying Gresham isn't much better and they got a first-rounder for him. 

    Compensation herbs and spices is a joke.

    End of First. Which is 2nd really, which I think is fair.

    Over time I’ve rated Gresham’s excellent agility. It hasn’t always translated to success but he’s been in poor systems.

    Jeez. A future 3rd round pick for Harmes is cheap. I know he was depth but still........

    Think you are over rating Harmes as a player.

    See above. Not saying he was by any means a world beater, just that the difference in quality of he and Gresham is not an end of first round versus a future third rounder. 

    Anyway. It's done now so let's see what Lamby etc. can achieve.

    I'm certainly in the camp of getting 2-3 good young players rather than trying to land pick 1.

    Sound thinking. As the old adage suggests “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket!” Then again ‘you can’t make an omelette without cracking eggs.’

    Club did everything they possibly could to try and get Tom Lynch this trade period and Richmond wouldn’t bite.

    Some might be overrating Harmes, but some are equally overrating Gresham, as is the compo pick for him. Gresham has not put together a consistent season as an AFL footballer.

    It's funny, we are supposedly the easy club to deal with and have a good reputation in trades.

    We clear an AA and dual B & F Ruckman and a Premiership mid quickly and cheaply and yet offer good picks on fringe players and are still trying to get the deals done, after a week of the trade period.

    Would have been interesting conversations between the Melbourne recruiting team and the Richmond team.

    Yze/Tiges would have been mad to let this happen

    Delusional.

    We all know this will get done late for the pick offered.

    I’m surprised we didnt offer the F3 we got for Harmes. They can go and get stuffed. F2 is too high IMO.

    They are upset because they want Petty and possibly because we beat them to 11.

    They will drag it out, Dodoro and now Mackie style.

    Wow. Surely, Adelaide are burning their reputation within the industry with this sort of nonsense.

    Wouldn’t think McAdam’s Manager would be happy. In the memory bank, if another player is deciding between Crows and another club.

    Adelaide are deluded. He’s OOC and can easily walk to us in the main draft or PSD. Other clubs aren’t going to waste their time on a 28 year old role player who doesn’t want to play there. If it was Rachele then Rankine then yes but McAdam? What dorks .

    Well... he can’t easily walk to us in the PSD. Adelaide were expecting and happy to re-contract McAdam, and they have an earlier pick than us in the PSD. They could hold firm.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
