AFL media’s most tedious product makes its return today. During the trade period AFL Trade Radio produces enormous lashings of interviews and commentary that are mainly rehashed material that we already know about with the odd scoop thrown in when it happens.

If you happen to be tuned in when they bring up one of those scoops, please let us know.

    Do yourself a favour and never listen to this: it’s literally a waste of life.

    AFL Trade Radio today - a lot of rehashing stories already covered elsewhere. Of Melbourne interest, some discussion on a potential replacement for Brodie Grundy including mention of Flynn from GWS (who apparently wants to go to WA) and the fact that Verrall and Farris-White are a long way off being ready to give Max a hand in the ruck. Also a speculative multi-club that ends up with Melbourne getting Tom Lynch for pick 5.  That deal would leave us with yet another expensive forward on the sidelines.

    It would appear that according to Kane Cornes, Melbourne is under great pressure in this trade period.

    Got to talk about something since there isn't much to talk about....

    But i kinda agree with Corn, i don't agree we are "under pressure" but you could argue a few teams have gone past us this year. Will be a big off season for the Dees.

    Pressure is a privilege 

    A job interviewer once asked me if I could perform under pressure.

    I said "No, but I'll give Bohemian Rhapsody a go".

    Rather listen to at the 3rd stroke it will be 10:25 than a bunch of nupties making up nonsense.

    From the media, yes. We’re generally rated a premiership contender with a generational list that has a deficiency in one area of the ground.

    I don’t necessarily prescribe to the theory that we don’t already have the talent in place to address this, but the consistent narrative will be ‘will Melbourne try and fix the obvious problem, or stubbornly stick with what they have already tried’.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
