i don’t mind it. we desperate needed a ruck /fwd and Fullarton could surprise a few

we needed fwd pressure, class and marking in fwd 50. McAdam. Russell Robbo mk II?

And we needed some outside run and midfield depth in Billings

The high draft picks can provide the spark and the traded 3 can play their role

    Sounds to me like Petty and his manager got thrown an opportunity and took it as a chance to bring stuff to the table with Melbourne. 

    We might need to pander to him a little to try and convince him to stay longer term. 

    I took from what lamb said was that the MFC will get his family from sa more involved and over more during next season. 

    Imo This may go along way to appeasing Pettys desire to go home.

    The main target for us should be to move his partner to Melbourne. I don’t know what she studies or does for work, but surely someone on D’land can get this girl a job in Melbourne.

    No [censored] and doesn't feed into what the media want to create headlines.

    What does the reporter ask when Lamb just glares and says “No”.

    I just can’t hear it. Why can’t they give the journos microphones?!

    I think the question was did Adelaide offer us anything for Petty that we considered

    I think Tim Lamb would have played the bad cop

    Is he actually an ex cop?  Explains a lot if true!

    Wish coaches spoke like this more often and just don't feed media [censored].

    The Petty stuff still worries me, hope we can get him to settle in Melb.  I Travel weekly to SA so happy to transport his mum's cooking every week.

    Come on Demonlanders, who owns a pharmacy or any other non legitimate drug operations?

    Based on the posting history of some Demonlanders, reckon we could have a few candidates! Then there are our Amsterdam-based posters and their international network!

    I suppose it makes for a welcome break from Essendon ‘winning trade week’.

     

    I take it back.

    Essendon won trade week again…

    Port needed rucks and key defenders and got 2 of each and lost Duursma who has been disappointing recently.

    Think they did really well.

    Bit ridiculous rating trade week in isolation of the upcoming kids draft.

    West Coast did very little over the trade week and have an average draft hand.  They are in for quite a few more years of pain.

    (not that that’s a particularly bad thing)

    They could turn 1 into Curtin and 2 more high pick players, so that’s not bad and added a ruckman to replace the non playing Nic Nat and a talented forward in Brockman. 

    That’s a good start.

    But also worth remembering that Petty is contracted for 2 more years, '24 and '25. No one forced him to sign the contract. Adelaide will be asked to cough up next year if they want a contracted player that we've invested heavily in

    Don't take it to heart.

    On todays Gettable episode they described an early pick swap scenario involving us Gold Coast and North.

    Wasnt fully detailed but essentially would have seen North with picks 2, 5 and 6 with Melbourne getting 3 and North's 2024 end of first round pick after giving up 6, 14 and future 1st.

    • 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.

    • 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?
