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.

    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’.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
