So we’re does our improvement come from?? So basically our trades for the past 3 seasons has seen, Hunter retired, Shache delisted, Fullerton & Mccadam can’t get a game, Billing’s only getting games due to injuries. The mess around the handling of Oliver & Trac! It obvious no decent payer wants to come so Who’s to blame for this mess?

    The media want us all to believe that trades are the main things that allow you to improve. They want trades linked directly to hope. 

    But what lets you improve is really careful list management, player development, footy strategy, injury management, luck and all sorts of other things. Yes, trades are a part of list management, but so is drafting, maintaining a good balance in areas like position, age and experience, developing depth and so on.

    We didn't, our star player did.

    My understanding is the only way we messed this up is our first pick driftedmuch higher in the back end of the year than when we were willing to part with it for the proposed deal. Then both parties cooled for differing reasons.

    I would love us to have a crack at 

    1 Tim Membrey

    2 Matt Kennedy

    and possibly 

    3 Matt Owies

    all would be upgrades for us

    You are kidding yourself, Sparrow and Kennedy would be on par and Sparrow is younger.  Chandler is defensively superior to Owies but I agree I would see Owies as a slight upgrade but there is no way you are playing Membrey over Petty.

    Fit and happy Petracca, fit and moderately sane Oliver will help…

    When does a trade revolutionise or even revamp? Lever and May took a year to get going. 

    Like another posted listed - improvement comes from within. Rivers and McVee continuing to allow CP5 more time forward, Petty being fit will give this experiment its final beta test, Pickett providing more explosiveness in the middle, AMW and Woey releasing others to do more in the backline, and continuing to commit to a game style that suits a team that has no dominant tall forward and needs to move the ball quickly, with dare, and not wait for May to kick it or for Gawn to mark it.

    Wasn't he highly rated, where would he fit in, what's his point of difference or weapon?

    Which one of Petty's 9 goals in the same amount of games as Membrey's 30 goals, impressed you so much?

    Let's see how he goes with a pre-season though. Getting Membrey in also allows us to shift Petty OR Turner down back, as defensive cover. Given we won't have Tomlinson anymore and Tmac and May will be 32/33 years old respectively. It might be something we need cover with. Derkson is an unknown commodity in that regard.

    Petty looks lazy when playing forward. Could Tomlinson stay for a year, not much appears to be going on from trade point of view

    I don't think we're getting Membrey in any case. Personally would just move Petty back and use Tmac as Depth. No more than two talls in the forwardline. Go smaller and focus on moving the ball rather than playing a bunch of NQR key forwards.

    Why do you say that? It's the kind trade that gets done on the last day for a bag of chips, when all other business is attended to. And we've been rumoured to have been in talks with him per sam Edmund.

    Because we've already flatly stated we're not interested as of 3 days ago? Just because we had a chat with him a month ago doesn't mean we're still keen.

    Did we? Tim Lamb? I must've missed wherever you heard that, I haven't listened to any media this week,

    Edit: Nor seen anyone bump the TM thread.

    Yes, was a question asked at Tim Lamb's press conference earlier this week right towards the end.  Was a flat no.

    • 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

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.
