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.

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

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
