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.

    How so? Turner has a loooong way to go before he is in the same conversation as Waterman

    The same Waterman who’s played 12 good games in his career?

    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

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
