It's looking like a very quiet trade period for us.

    Finger on the pulse, or merely conjecture on the first morning of trade period?

    Exactly. 

    People will realise at the end we have no trade capital in terms of draft picks, or players other than ANB of any value. Tomlinson may find another home ....for another meaningless draft pick for us.

    Honestly, considering recent events, I'd say that retaining all of Petracca, Oliver and Pickett could be considered a successful trade period.

    Outside of Campbell, I wouldn't be surprised if we continue to look at Derksen and potentially another first round pick and that's all.

    Tim certainly got grilled.

    Thought he did pretty well, considering.   'Oh look that's a good question'  lol

    Very clear we have no interest in Membrey. Houston not longer interested in us.

    We are still some chance with the Derk

    Lamb knows how to handle himself in front of a camera. 18 years as a copper, a former Detective Sergeant, state crime squad.  Nothing Twomey or any of the other media throw at him will phase him in the slightest. He'll have been on the receiving end of much bigger grillings from the judiciary than anything these guys could throw at him.

    Bring in another pick between 10-20 and I’ll be pretty pleased, then let JT go to work. 

    Pick 5, pick 10-20, pick 28 (ANB - probably 33/35 after bids) in a good draft will further help our list re-build.

    But Petracca, Oliver and Pickett weren't for trading, were they? So a successful trade period is convincing our best players on long term contracts to not go anywhere else? I guess "considering recent events" is the key expression here.

    MELBOURNE has interest in trading its future first-round pick for one of the Fremantle's first-round selections this year as the Demons look to double-up on talent in the upcoming draft.

    Fremantle list boss David Walls on Monday confirmed the Dockers have interest in flipping one of their three 2024 first-round picks into a 2025 first-round selection, depending on how their quest to land trade target Shai Bolton fares.

    "That's definitely a chance. There's a lot of clubs keen to get back in so we'll see what happens at the end of trade period and see how many of the first-rounders we're still holding and if we've traded or not," Walls told Gettable Trade Radio on Monday.

    "If we're still holding three, we'd definitely look to roll one forward because we think there's a strong market for it and we could get overs."

    Boy, the media interview with Tim Lamb came across as  pretty underwhelming and awkward. We really do have a communication problem.

    Do you think so? It was awkward and basically admitted that we can't attract players. How many times did he say, 'Oh look, that's a good question'. Half a dozen. We really do suck at comms and messaging.

    Sure is - mainly because nobody wants to come to us!

    Head to the draft and start again next year I guess

    Thought he came across ok. Nowhere near as bad as Andrew Dillon “supporting” the welcome to country ceremonies recently and on 3aw.

    Who should we be trading in that won't be coming - or to put it another way, who should we be trading in that isn't going to cost an arm and a leg in terms of picks and salary?

    He was on a hiding to nothing before he came out. He can’t really stand there and say we are great shape and are a destination club can he?

    He didn’t create any new Trac or Clarry headlines, which is a pretty good achievement considering what’s gone on

    Another train wreck interview! Showed no confidence in saying we are a destination club and it’s a reflection on no  decent free agent deals! You would think after all the noise on Oliver & Trac they would be ready with answers to install confidence! We’re is Richardson & Pert to answer these questions!

    Yeah, maybe I was a bit harsh, but he is speaking on behalf of the club, which according to some, created this mess.

    If Stringer does go to GWS — surely it’s primed to attack Brown/Riccardi and also helps ensure we nab Derkson!

    If they hold that poor kid to his contract they deserve a smack — keep him he’ll languish in VFL and get bloody delisted and clubs may lose interest we see it often so I’m confident they’re just posturing.

    Since Pies are looking likely for pick 13 now from GC as part of a larger deal for Noble then Houston — let’s hope TL turns 28 and or next year -1st round into a top 15 pick this year it seems like we’re determined too& Freo 10/11 is being muted if we nab that with just next years first rnd that’d be a huge win so let’s hope they think Dees are gonna be bottom 4 next yr!!! Who knows maybe we can turn our suit into 3pks or 2 in top 8-10 🔥🔥🔥
     

    sidenote: LOVE Pies going all in for the now, typical of the passive-aggressive-narcissist McRae - they’re absolutely mortgaging any future already no real young talent bar Daicos I’m looking fwd to 2027 and beyond as it stands right now 😛

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
