    When I finished laughing at that offer, I realised they're no doubt running the same game with Collingwood for Adams and will attempt to get us to fight over their second-rounder. I'd back the Swans needing Grundy more than Adams.

    Yup the 100% are trying to have their cake and eat it too with Grundy and Adams.

    Agree they need Grundy more, feel sorry for JJ as Adams hurts his spot in the team a bit.  Maybe we should ensure there is nothing left to get that deal done!

    Without mentioning sources etc, I have been told Shane McAdam and Fogarty has been suggested by the dees for a round 1 selection. No me tion of what pick was to be utilised or multiples

    Can't see Crows trading Fogarty unless it's a straight swap for Petty.

    Very insulting to Grundy. 

    Maybe its just posturing for their fans.

    This has been on the cards for weeks. Do we believe that just today they made an offer and it's 46?

    Still holding out for 11, for Grundy and spices.

    What makes you think we'll get 11 or anywhere near that Mr Leg?  Genuine question.

    Didn't we grab him for 27 or so last year.

    Yes we did, but that doesn't mean you get back what you paid.

    Swans are desperate for Grundy as their number 1 ruckman, we got him as number 2.

    Anyway, let's see how good we can be at holding out.

    However, tbh, whilst we have been good at drafting, we often seem to over pay overs on our buys and get unders on our sales.

    We’re not getting anything near 11 for Grundy, that was obvious even before Sydney offered pick 40-something.

    Article in the Age confirms the offer was 46 + 54. Probably trying to soften us up for pick 33, but we're holding out for 25. Wonder if the future pick they'll get for Stephens from Roos will play a role in the Adams/Grundy Swans stand off.

    They also say:

    "Melbourne are closing in on securing a second top draft pick to potentially make a plunge for one of the most sought after players at the top of the draft.

    Melbourne have tempted Gold Coast with pick 14 and second round draft picks in exchange for pick 11. Two industry sources said Melbourne were eager to get pick 11 to bracket with their existing first pick now at six (tied to Fremantle’s finish) to make a play for one of top few draft picks."

    You mean, like, the Jackson trade (pick 15, 6 and 25)? Or a measly 2nd rounder for Langdon. BBB cost us little, too

    Cheer up Red!

    Reid for Curtin & Wilson? Probably.

    I'd have a throw at the stumps, but the momentum seems to have switched to WC taking Reid (unless North cough up picks 2 & 3 - I wouldn't pay that and wouldn't think Roos would either).

    If WC hold on to 1, we could see if North want to split pick 2 or 3.  Who knows, if that happens maybe North then split pick 6 with Eagles (who would get Curtin) and get WC's future first and our 11 in that scenario, which could have some appeal. North have so many chips we might be able to get something else back in any potential split.

    Melbourne would do that in a heartbeat. West Coast would hang the phone up. We’d need to throw in a future 1st on top of that at a minimum

    I'm certain we'd add our future 1st into a trade proposal, but agree that WC would still likely decline.

    I know it doesn't work this way given the potential & hype surrounding Reid but it's a like for like points swap....

    1 >  3000

    6 & 11 > 3080

    Is he the bloke that plays forward? What’s his deal? He can kick some snags but tends to go missing a fair a bit.

    I think it’s better than 2/3 and 14 which is what Norf can offer. They are not offering 2 and 3. Curtin is drifting out a little and WC are being held ransom to him. Best they let it go and deal us in. 

  • Quote

    I'd like to see us play hard ball, set a price and just refuse to sign off on any other deal. 

    Grundy and 27 for pick 11 or no deal,

    Sifting out what GWS gave up to get pick 1, they sent picks 3, 12 & a future 2nd into the mega trade.

    Kangas gave up JHF & pick 1 & a future 3rd & received 2 (from WC) & 3, Ports 1st this year plus a few 3rd rounders.

    Perceived value of pick 1 is significantly higher this year with Reid. Not saying it should be, but it is.

    I’m fairly certain Fogarty is bigger than Fritsch and a much more aggressive player.  Fogarty and JVR would hurt some defenders with the way they attack the ball.

    The first round picks for a kid?

    Pick 33 for a 2x AA ruckman

    It's getting ridiculous now.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
