Happy with this

 

Offers depth and he is an upgrade to Chandler and Spargo imo

    @Dannyz is hearing what #ETthetradebreaker is hearing. To be announced after 2pm AEDST. If it doesn’t go through, they just lost the paperwork and it’s not my fault.

    Are we any chance of getting into bed with them regarding a pick swap with them? 

    We could pursue their pick 13 in exchance for a future 1st plus something else if we take on Billings' cash?

    That would leave us with picks 6,11 and 13 if Lamby could twinkle his wand of magic.

    Great thinking. Like it

    OUT: Hibberd, Dunstan, Jordon, Harmes, Grundy, Smith (Rookie)

    IN: Fullarton, McAdam

    Draft picks currently: x 3 (One could be used to upgrade McVee)

    So we have 3 senior spots left

    Also, if Melksham is moved onto a rookie contract, frees up another spot

    If I were any of Spargo, Chandler, Laurie and Moniz-Wakefield, and Melbourne were bringing in McAdam and potentially Billings this trade period, I would be getting my manager to find me a new home as soon as possible.

    Of course, it's possible that there won't be any interest because none of them are particularly good, but I certainly wouldn't be expecting those four to be playing regularly next year.

    Too late for that now! Probably why they left this so late.

    Chandler and Spargo stay, but I can see Laurie and Moniz Wakefield being played in the back half.

    I think our wingers might be the most nervous.

    Sounds like the Aints are doing a salary dump. We're basically swapping a 500k Harmes for a 500k Billings. 

    Fullarton McAdam and Billings in the trade period.

    No bigee.

    The top ten in the 2013 draft makes for interesting reading:

    1. Tom Boyd - Giants 
    2. Josh Kelly - Giants (pick traded from Melbourne)
    3. Jack Billings - Saints
    4. Marcus Bontempelli  - Bulldogs 
    5. Kade Kolodjashnij - Gold Coast
    6. Matthew Scharenberg - Collingwood 
    7. James Aish  - Lions
    8.  Luke McDonald - Roos
    9. Christian Salem - Dees (mid first round compensation pick from 2010 traded from Giants)
    10.  Nathan Freeman - Collingwood 

    Dees end up with three top 10 picks from that draft!   

    (note: we picked up hunt and traded in Dom Tyson as part of the pick swap that saw Kelly go to the Giants and Salo to us. A Paul Roos call)

    Three, actually.

    Happy with the Demons getting Jack Billings from the Saints.

    He is a good ball user and can kick goals.

    Will be a handy acquisition for our forward line and midfield.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
