Time this thread got a bump as trade speculation on the Harley continues. 

The only way this clearly happens is if we trade some of our WA talent. Now i dont want to throw names from our end, but suspect there will be a few that wouldn't mind be trading back to their home state. 

WCE in hindsight would be kicking themselves that they didn't take our offer in 2023. They will never get the same value as the offer we put forward. 

Bombers in the drivers seat atm...it would be awful if that came to fruition. 

To be honest think Reid is too expensive. He’ll hamper a clubs ability to attract other talent. The Bombers have one serious player, let them have 2 and see how they go.

    Reid for Koz would be an acceptable trade...both pretty "next level" players I have them on similar levels in my head, be it biased or not :)

    Yeah if Callaghan is attracting $17m offers I can only imagine what clubs will be prepared to pay for Reid.

    It’s going to be ludicrous sums. I’m not sure you can build a team like that. I wonder what Jackson will cost us if he and Pickett agree to trade places.

    Langford, Reid, K. White, Lindsay, Windsor and Rivers/McVee as your future centre / follower line will win you premierships.

    ~$1m per year. Depends how good his 2025 is.

    We don't have them on our list and it's been one of my frustrations in our recent recruiting.

    Maybe we're hoping to build it through trade like Lever and May.

    Surely Petty is one.

    Couldn't Fullarton play a spoiling key back role? Even AJ might be able to play a key back role. Disco can play back and Adams is improving.

    There is still a Draft and Trade and FA to fill holes.

    Reid is still learning his position. I don't particularly like him at this stage. But he will be given time by their new coach.

    I trust the MFC brains trusts knows more than me. But with hindsight it could be that we couldn't go for some more Moneyball-type players who would've added more value  It could also be that Reid ends up more the standard of Travis Johnstone as opposed to Judd, D Martin or Fyfe.

    It would probably be something like taking over his current contract, with maybe some small extras.

    I know the Club was desperate to try and draft Harley Reid when he was the number #1 draft pick.

    However, I don't know if we have the draft capital or the salary cap space to fit him into the Demons?

    Never say never though!

    Means players need to be traded, I’d guess jvr and Pickett would have to be involved

    Well we are kind of resigned to loosing Pickett anyway either this year or next few. So it’s really just one more and who knows with jvr been from wa he might be asking to go back anyway. I’d hate it but if that’s the reality you could do worse

    Adams says hi! 

    Never ceases to amaze me that D/Lers always want to go and get a certain player for a position or instead of another player we are developing. 

    Realise that some ready made trades are necessary to top up high draft picks or other lower draft picks as they develop.

    But  some fans can’t wait and all the time want trades irrespective. It can’t work out like Geelong or as the Pies are copying now.

    Adam Simpson said he doesn't do the extra little things that are needed to be a top player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
