We'd effectively be paying around $500k for pick 8... certainly worth considering

Have not watched GWS in a while. How is Haynes playing these days.

Pity he's not a forward

No to Haynes, yes to Taylor.

    Unfortunately Taylor ain't going nowhere 

    Would we take Haynes in a salary dump? Turn his $1mill+ final year into 2 x $650k and get their top 10 pick???

    Think the afl have tweaked the rules so you can't smooth out contracts in these sort of deals. We would have to take a full $1mill hit.

    So is Harley Reid a potential difference-maker like Gawn, Petracca or Oliver?

    If so, take the punt and secure the player.  We might have to pay overs with regards to draft picks but that's the price you have to pay

    We're a team in contention so to make that an ongoing feature, adding a star enhances our attributes

    Why fall out of the window?

    He is,  have a limit we are willing to pay and if WC want more, walk away and get the next best kid.

    there are some good kids after him, but GC also have some of them wrapped up through academy.

    Latest article on it says AFL are talking about salary dump meaning you can only smooth out 20% of the salary. 
     

    I like the trade as Haynes would be an upgrade on 3rd tall defender with Petty forward and give our younger developing defenders time to develop while we compete for premierships

    You are not buying Haynes you are buying the pick or picks that come with him.

    What if you got their first pick and Riccardi, for taking him and his salary for a year?

    You would clear off an extra player or two and bring in draftees on small payments which cover that one year.

    Sorry Redleg, I haven't had a chance to read the thread or convo just yet mate, just saw Haynes' name mentioned so said no, at his age.

    I understand that, as for a straight get Haynes deal, I would agree, it’s the steak knives that could be very sharp, that could make it attractive.

    Interesting. A 20% discount brings Haynes salary down to $960k. Grundy is on $650k.  One other senior / experienced player leaving would free up the remaining salary cap needed.

    Harmes. Get rid of him.

    So @Mach5 what I think you meant to say is that premiership player, and lifelong Demons supporter, James Harmes is currently on the fringes of our best 22. Therefore, a move to another club where he would get more game time could be in his best interests. This, in turn, would give our Football department more flexibility in negotiating a deal such as muted by @BigMacjnr and @Romey.

    Couldn’t care less who he supported growing up. He’s a passenger & we need to move him on.

    That's ok, means we have 5 and our 1st. Trade up and it might be 2 x top 10 picks. Would've been nice to get Reid, but the alternative is also very good

    Make things very interesting with what the AFL will now do with regards to a hand out to North. Can’t see them giving pick two for McKay as way overs and that would totally screw over WC as North would get Reid and Curtain. 
    North not getting an extra pick at point end of first helps us. 
    Also North now going to get Reid is there any point in them getting access to Sanders as they are already stacked with young talent in the middle.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
