Lot of hate for Petty, he’s a 25 year old premiership defender with a lot of good footy left in him. With May being 33 and TMac 32 why would we trade out Petty. Petty is a solid mark as for his disposal, it’s what you’d expect from a KPD. We’ve got mids on big dollars that can’t kick a footy and half backs that can but struggle to kick more than 25 metres. As with Fritsch I’d be very surprised if a new coach would want either of them gone.

Kruger is on our mid season wish list.

The Weed just bagged 7, better than anybody we have.

I do believe it’s called a ‘Quarter or Bag’

I might have to engage in some to numb this season out as well.

Yuck, looked awful against us in the VFL few weeks back.

Pedlar was raised as gettable this week, similar position to Sharp in terms of where he is in the Crows list profile and age, do we give him two years?

Given Billings, Spargo, Melksham, Henderson, Brown, Culley are all OOC (and surely we pay out Laurie and McAdam), we're surely looking to make significant personnel changes in the HFF areas. Pedlar has also moved through the middle, similar to Sparrow or ANB in that sense? (of that lot only Brown i'd keep on / maybe Culley).


Are you doing this trade

>> Kozzy (Freo), Oliver (Geelong)

<< Freos 1st, Freos F1, Geelong 1st,

Then

>> Geelong 1st, Freo F1, MFC 2nd

<< Reid.

Might have to give a little more but to open negotiations.

I'm offering the fitness guru at Collingwood a contract, at least one assistant from each of Geelong, Collingwood, Sydney and Brisbane a contract and one of them can replace Goodwin. It's not about the players right now it's become a coaching issue, settle that first. Watching Collingwood last night made me realise how far off it we are currently.

Wonder if we throw our hat in the ring for Wayne Milera

I'm going to run out of hats this trade season.

we've been spoiled by having the greatest ruckman of all time preceded by all oztrayan rucks in jamar (who joined as a rookie), white, and of course stynes

perhaps kalani will be our next

Good get @whatwhat say what . We also had the BIG Moore, the BIG Carl, the BIG Baker, the BIG Crackers, the BIG Strawb. Rich heritage.

Yes knees are going to have to be managed for the remainder of his career. Not great for a KPP would IMO only be worth a short contract at the right price with potential to roll over yearly if he was like Shaun Burgoyne

The ghost of Kelvin Templeton's knee twists in its grave.

It’s a yes but the picks we’re getting from Freo / Geelong won’t be what the Eagles will be wanting.

I'd take Jayden Hunt back. He's out of contract and a free agent, costs us nothing. Good citizen and adds much needed speed in whichever position we play him.

After we ousted him, he'd never come back. It was an obvious mistake to push him out the door. He was a superior player to many other players we later lost or delisted anyway. He was a key contributor down back during our premiership year and would've been a premiership player if not for an unfortunately timed injury at end of the season.

Wish him all the best. Great guy and underrated player.

Often forgotten about. He gave us some awesome moments Jayden.

Him & Jonesy walking around with premiership medals would’ve been the perfect result… well that & being at the G.

Out of all the players traded off our own bat, he is the one that i think is the biggest loss. Would have given us the mid sized athletic defender / wing. Was a bit of turnover merchant, but didn’t fit Goodys old system. Would have been better now

Jayden Hunt is the missing piece. Just like Sam Frost.

(Hold your fire)

I’m not seeing MFC attracting any of the free agent players or having much draft capital to entice a key player trade

So look for bargains in young players who are being overlooked at their clubs (not bringing in 28,29,30+ aged players)

Jaxon Binns. Running midfielder. Drafted pick 32 in 2022 draft. Now in 3rd year. Had 3 games in 2024. Getting constantly overlooked by Blues (behind Cerra,Acres, Hollands & Cottrell). Why I think he’s gettable and adds something? He has good pace. Wins the footy. Very good skills. Dominates VFL. Fits the modern running and transition game. I think he’s out of contract at end of 2025. Dees should offer him a deal and offer Blues peanuts. They ignore him. Just one player to think about.

Draft capital is fine. We have future picks from 2026 & 2027 we can trade if we get a key player like Morris on board.

Becoming an attractive destination is the hard thing for us.... which is why winning for games in the back half of the year and playing exciting football is very important.

Goodwin doesn't like him. Unlikely to return.

You been smokin it again?

 

Logan Morris exactly the type we need. Solid body, takes a strong grab. TMac vibes but a better kick.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
