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 wouldn't be sure that we haven't done a deal for ANB already...

    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

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
