ANB for Rachele. Take it or leave it, ya crabs. 

They will leave it as they have us over a barrel and it isn’t a fair deal anyway.

I fear we may get screwed in trading ANB, as they know we are committed to helping ANB get home and doing the right thing by him and his family.

If it was Dodoro, he would offer pick 185. Hopefully the Crows will act fairly.

    I would say that if there wasn't already an in-principle deal, that we wouldn't be so forthcoming with the whole thing and would say "he is seeking a trade home and we will work with all interested parties to see if a deal can be reached".

    My best guess, going off absolutely no inside intel btw, is that we have a deal more or less sorted with the Crows.

    I reckon we get our second rounder back from them, which means it's essential McAdams for Nibbler, which is not a good trade unfortunately.

    Is Ladhams worth a look? Would he be happy waiting at VFL level once again?

    Suns would have a few players available i'd say. Joel Jeffrey comes to mind. 194cm HBF/HFF

    That is far from a good trade if true, as we got an injured player who struggles to get fit and might end up hardly playing for us at all.

    How so? Turner has a loooong way to go before he is in the same conversation as Waterman

    The same Waterman who’s played 12 good games in his career?

    He sounds a bit flaky but has talent.

    He has pulled out of a few contests, which Goody is not a real fan of.

    How about ANB and McAdam?

    Seriously, he is on a big contract and I wonder how that would play out.

    This kid has superstar attributes, I don't rate Nick's as a coach.  Looks a bit "my way or the highway" type.  Goody is a players coach.  Recon he coukd get the best out of him.

    Attach him to Petraccas hip for a pre-season and watch him after a big pre-season.

    It's a pipe dream, but yeh if McAdam is worth a 2nd rounder what's ANB worth.  I still can't believe we went after McAdam let alone paid that for him.  Still makes me angry

    Crows are laughing. McAdam is now a pick 23-24 in this draft. He’s a lazy footballer. Cannot kick 35 metres.  Mercurial yes. But two or three efforts a match is lazy!!!

    how we seem to have accepted that anb is leaving to go 'home' without the deal being done is absolutely infuriating 

    he has requested a trade; it has not happened yet

    he's got two years to go on a very healthy contract

    is he going to retire if crom / pear can't satisfy us in a trade?

    how we've handled his trade request has been acquiescent

    We desperately need a smooth moving midfielder with excellent kicking skills.

    Our field kicking is still atrocious compared to teams like Collingwood and Sydney.

    Finn Callaghan is out of contract next year... doesn't help for next season though.

    I think we can build around Disco and JVR, with Fritsch as a third tall. We would get more value from insert a player like Tom Papley, Bobby Hill or Charlie Cameron than Max King.

    Matt Owies is a player we should look at. Sam Wicks is another.

    If we keep Petracca and find some depth in the midfield, he can be used forward as well.

    Murphy Reid and Cotton look like they could play a small forward role to me.

    Agree in Owies and Wicks, and I wonder about Rachele.

    Max king would help all the other forwards. Fritts jvrs roles would alter and they'd get lesser Backmen. Chin/spargs are no papley but an upgrade wouldn't be as dramatic as max king.

    Rachele is on too much money.

    Look at the Giants list for some options. They have too many small forwards to play them all.

    Said as soon as we were interested he is lazy and has an attitude problem.  And not young.  They really bent us over there

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
