I believe Lyon was at the same reunion in Kyabram that Reid's parents attended.  I don't believe there's anything other than a happenstance meeting.  Lyon confirmed he attended a Kyabram reunion on radio during the week and Reid's parents were also there.

    Eagles need multiple 1st round picks. I wonder if we also offer them Grundy as well.

    Brodie won’t want to go west when he has so many suitors on this side of the continent.

    And before we talk about ‘we hold the whip hand’ - no we don’t. Players can refuse to go and while we can just keep him. Do we want to? Don’t we want to invest in a forward? Maybe JVR can avoid rucking?

    With North Melbourne winning...against a soft as butter Gold Coast....we may still be a "slight chance" to get Harley Reid after all? 🤔

    You would think North would threaten to take Curtin at 2/3, so our Pick 5/6 would be pretty useless to West Coast

    Unfortunately, North are still best placed to trade for pick one.

    2 + 16 for 1? WC get Curtin and a bonus 1st rounder (Port's)

    Unless they are happy to overlook Curtain and take pick 5/6, and what else we can get.

    We could come in and top that. If we can get GC pick. We’d have to pay massive overs, and get something back.

    No guarantee WC gets Curtin with 4 or 5 though

    But they can trade them for 2 and other picks.

    We won't be offering them Grundy if he doesn't wish to go there and I doubt he would.

    Simpler just to trade with North direct

    Deal 1

    Dees: Out - 4 and 18

               In - pick 2

    Roos: Out - pick 2

               In - pick 4 and 18

    Deal 2

    Dees: Out - pick 2, 24 + F1 (15-18)

               In - Pick 1

    WC:   Out - Pick 1

              In - Pick 2, 24 and melb F1

     

    Essentially a 3-way trade. Not the worst possibility, and importantly a potential option if we can't get pick 4 from the suns.

    I've read on another forum that the Suns have plenty of picks to cover bids for their 3 (likely top 10) academy players.  The thought being that they're more likely to try and trade pick 4 for another team's future first.  Ideally a team they project to finish near the bottom in 2024.  But who knows what Taylor has up his sleeve.

    Pick 4 still equates to roughly 2,000 points. So they'll need to recuperate that in addition to a future 1st if that's their intention. Not many clubs will be able to facilitate that.

    Yes, they'd want a future first plus extra.

    Might be wise to deal with North. Let WC take Reid should they wish. We need pick 2. That gives us leverage. Take either.

    Is Reid back in play? That is the question. And a question well worth examining.

    Our experts in the war room will show us exactly how this can happen after the break.

    As much as I really want Reid, West Coast won't do any deal that risks losing Curtin and North will only deal if it means they get Reid. 

    Hopefully we get pick 4 from GC and pick up up 2 very good kids.

    Today's results are certainly great news for MFC.  Opens up our options.  WC need multiple first rounds picks as we did in 2013........  splitting our number 1 pick went along way to rebuilding our list....... a super important step to building our premiership list.  No doubt WC are very aware of this.

    Reid becomes a real and live option again.  Whether it can be done and whether this is the direction the MFC wants to go, only time will tell.  But what we do know is that we have been interested enough to pursue Reid as a possible payday for our 2023 draft bonanza.  It is a fact that we have put in enormous time and effort to make this a possibility of happening.

    The MFC has options on how to spend its bonanza everywhere. 

    This is the honey train draft/trade period for us.  Whatever direction we end up taking.......... if we nail it, we set our football club up for a decade.  We give ourselves the opportunity to create a genuine dynasty.  

    I am just so excited.

    Yep it is exciting, Reid or multiple good young players, what a wonderful problem.

    We also have a real chance at another flag.

    That is way unders. 4 and 5 is a much better offer. So they miss Curtain - they’ll get two gun midfielders for the price of one.

    But they want Curtin, he is their Reid.

    Any deal needs to ensure them of Curtin.

    2 plus 16 would do it.

    • 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.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
