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 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
