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.

    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 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
