    I’m hearing the AFL are considering giving North another 1st round pick just to spice things up today. Unconfirmed though.

    Given it's SEN (Hutchy) probably some sort of AFL aassistance package in excess of Norf's (although i doubt that will ever be beaten unless the Pies or Blues spent a few years down the bottom)

    Jack Gunston wanting to return to Hawks, do we have a dabble at him?  Probably not with McAdam nominating us

    Might have been a good get a couple of years ago when we were rumoured to have interest, but surely not now given his age and the McAdam trade 

    Bizarre for him to be requesting a move back after only one year, will be curious to see whether the Hawks will take him back 🤔

    Maybe Derwayne and Eddie can be added to the deal, to make it totally unlistenable.

    Made me have a look whether this happened before. Apparently Justin Murphy played with Blues 2000, Cats for 2001 then back to Blues in 2002.

    It's happened a few times - Gary Ablett Jnr, Trent Croad, Dayne Beams, Peter Bell etc...

    What’s our status of drafting atm on a fwd as to date not hearing much with all of our talls with ongoing injury issues.. all we have done is strengthened the Swans with Grundy & Jordan & they also got Adams, Harmes is gone also …who are our back up mids as we have  Gus with concussion issues & a well documented other one, understanding they have cleared a fair bit of cap space. With our fwd line consisting of brown, t Mac & petty all with injuries… let’s hope something is done

    Yeah, happened a lot, was just more looking at a player that leaves their club, the next year plays for another club, then returns to their club after a year. Justin Murphy only player I found that has done that in the AFL era.

    You’ve gotta be careful with these type of picks.

     

    I’ve seen people get as deep as the second knuckle and literally change their mind. 😏

    If successful, you gain a skill increase in lockpicking and 'Congratulations, your nose is now open'.

    If your skill is too low, then there is a risk every time that you will give yourself a cerebral hemorrhage.

    Make of it what you will.

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

    No different to the 3rd pick we gave for Hunter.

    Clubs are happy to act in good faith in these situations.

    Yeah fair point. It shows how ridiculous the compensation picks are. Gresham in my opinion is a mid range player and they effectively get pick 20 for him. I'd argue a Hunter/Harmes type is worth pick 20-30 as well.

    1. Yes.

    2. Yes, but Graham has more years in him

    3, Yes, but Graham doesn't want a premiership medal - not even interested in a finals.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
