Macrae the most interesting player of the trade period. Only averaged 12% (!) CBA's this year.

Cooked? Bevo'd? Both?

    Hope we do the Macrae/Daniel double for maximum melts

    If only Lobb hadn’t have come into form late - we could have gone for the trifecta

    He is on par with Trac for disposal efficiency over career

    Unfortunately, that's a con not a pro.

    Treacle slow one position player in a game increasingly demanding speed and spread.

    Both are cooked. Seriously.  Answer is NO.  They are on big money with reduced output.  
    Have we not learnt anything? 
    Salary dump strategy of guys like Hunter & Billings is going backwards!!!

    194cm is also generous

    Is Adam Cerra Gettable? 

    Was brought up in mid week tackle as a name to keep an eye on potentially.

    Decent fit for us, 5 hammies in 12 months is a massive red flag though. Might help the Blues get Houston if they offload him.

    Nah, I was all for Cerra pre Carlton, but not only has he failed to live up to expectation Inhad on him, he's constantly injured.

    The Carlton mid I'd like is Walsh, but he too has injury problems and they'd never let him go. He'd be perfect in our system.

    I think Trac and the review into FD will demand our system changes, makes it hard to know who will suit us in 2025.

    I think we need a Walsh or Andy Brayshaw type who is ultra consistent and dependable, not necessarily a game breaker but just does the hard/team orientated stuff each week.

    Walsh would work in any system because he's a machine runner.

    Having Lingers and Walsh in the same team would be a dream, and probably mean we could tweak our system even more.

    Is that a him issue or a Carlton issue though? He’s certainly not the only player whose been plagued by soft tissues at that club 

    He was great for them last year when he was on the park - worth asking the question and doing some due diligence

    Wonder if West Coast have any regrets about not taking that offer. That’s an enormous haul they’ve knocked back.

    Curtin, Tholstrup and top 5 pick this year plus change.

    Imagine if Reid wants to go home after 3 years.

    Once the trade period washes through, delisted free agents like Matt Taberner and Seb Ross should be considered as depth options considering how thin our list was this year.

    Taberner and Ross are both 31. I'd rather go for the best state league talent with a hunger to succeed than washed up players like these 2.

    Taberner is the ideal replacement for Schache - wait a minute 🤔🤔

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
