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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
