Heard a wild trade rumour, Lynch to request a trade to Melbourne. From SEN on Thursday.

Would we really entertain that?

How old is Lynch? Is it even possible?

maybe he just hates playing on May

    Dylan Stephens has officially requested a trade, allegedly linked with North.

    Can we throw all our picks at the dogs and ask for Naughton?  They've got too many tall key position players there anyway - they should be playing Naughton or Darcy back in my view.

    I can't believe there isn't more heat on Beveridge with the amount of talent he has had at his disposal since winning the flag for very little to show for it - surely there's unrest there?  Naughton can't have enjoyed his foot this year with the way the dogs played.  (Having said that, coming to play in Melbourne's forward line is hardly an attractive proposition!)

    Four of these blokes are contracted...

    Tommo and Harmes may want further opportunities but I can't see BBB and TMac kissing half a million dollar contracts goodbye!

    Pick 5 for Bailey Smith?

    Trac and him swapping 50/50 on ball forward 50.

    forward line talls will be fine if we can get Petty and Roo on the park together.

    would rival some others as one of the worst kicks in our side

    Alright normal programming has resumed.

    Did Bowey play as a mid through his u18 years, would like to see him on a wing kicking the ball into forward 50m.

    Early draft picks, with the pick we will get for Grundy we will have 4 picks inside the top 30 plus another mid 30, all about improving our draft position to get 4 picks as early as possible in the draft.

    Do we now have pick 14, as we have dropped below carlton on the final ladder ? Also pick 11 from Sydney for Grundy and picks 24 and 34

    5, (11) 14, 23,33.

    sure we could help GC with points in the sudoku draft game

    sure we could upload 4 draft picks to barter for Harley Reid

    or screw that trade BS

    5 picks inside 33.  That’s a serious draft refresh.

    and unfortunately not what we need

    we're in the 'win now' phase of our current list make-up

    bringing in five 17-19 year olds isn't going to help

    we need one or hopefully two elite pointy end picks, not five speculative ones - look at the tigs who had a similar number recently in a draft, and not one of them has become a regular best part of their best 26 squad in three years

    100 percent, there will he 3 to 5 years of compromised Drafts coming up, load up on early picks this year that will be the basis for 10 years of finals

    We might be pick 13 by the end of the night. Let's get that Deathriding Port Adelaide thread up and going!

    The Roos own that pick, are you forecasting a trade with North?

    Likely Grundy and pick 33 for 11. Let’s sign it up. 

    Stop saying "likely" when it's just your opinion.

    Is it realistic that we get 11 from Sydney?

    no

    it'll be 22 which will become about 27 or so, so effectively what we 'paid' the filth for him

    The club may trade Grundy for a future 2nd pick with Sydney and off load that (plus more) to GC for pick 4 this year. If the club can give GC equal points for this draft and a couple of 2 round picks next year, this will satisfy GC need to bank up points for their Next Gen players coming through in 2024.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
