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

 

Tim O'Brien delisted by the Dogs

 

Worth a punt?

No

 

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!)


Tough calls 

Hibbo Brown Tmcd retire

D.Smith. K.Turner  Dunstan  delist 

Tommo   Harmesy🥲   Grundy trade 

JJ let go UFA 

Thats 10 off the list 

Theres plenty of talent in this draft and players available  

Need to make tough calls 

this should happen … won’t happen !!!

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!

We need to take 15 picks to the draft

Sadly, it's pick 14

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

no

Alright normal programming has resumed.

What's going on in the most important part of the year? :)

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?

1 minute ago, spirit of norm smith said:

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

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

Thanks

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.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
