Trading next year's is fine with Kalani and Tarion Ah-Mu coming then. Keep this year's though

    Long road ahead if we’ve got people like Alan Richardson and Tim Lamb contributing to these decisions.

    I like the ‘ca’t’ which both perfectly describes Ralph’s journalism and Richo’s English.

    We need to add quality mature or maturing players. There’s no doubt about that.

    But we’ve completely botched our window as a destination club and made a huge mess of the list.

    We shouldn’t be afraid of using the draft for high end quality and finding the right mature guys without selling the farm.

    The focus has to be on adding quality pieces of the puzzle at the right price. I have zero faith in this list management/scouting team to do that.

    I heard him say that and wasn’t impressed. We’ve now likely got pick 6, perhaps pick 5. If that’s not a top shelf youngster or an A grade mid under 25 then I’ll be disappointed.

    It’s been said a million times before but this is self preservation, nothing more and nothing less.

    We don’t need experience, we need high quality

    Tim Lamb and Alan Richardson are both recipe for disaster for this footy club.

    Let's just see shall we? Houston cooled because we refused to pay two first rounders.

    I'd be staggered if we don't take our 2024 first rounder to the draft.

    Having already lost Jordon and Harmes, and now with ANB leaving, we certainly need to restock on strong, reliable mid-tier players who know their roles. That's a vital ingredient that we need to get right.

    Bold prediction, sadly unless they work out how to cryo-freeze humans we will never know.

    I’d love to ask the question to the Tigers about Nick Vlastuin. Will be 31 starting next year and has two years left on his contract. Could we get him out of there for a late second round pick? If we can’t get Houston, he would be a fantastic addition. Great ball user, great one on one and an excellent intercept mark.

    I was actually thinking about the Tigs list if there's anyone we could pry out.

    Taranto went there chasing a flag and won't be keen on full rebuild. 

    I'd be asking the question of him as well.

    Has that been reported? I've only read that we were the sole Melbourne based team willing to offer two firsts.

    Thank god Houston appears to have saved us from ourselves.

    Taranto is a pass in my books. Continuously butchers the ball and fades in and out of games. After Baker, Bolton and Rioli leave, there isn’t a huge amount left to pick at.

    Where’s Baker going?

    Either WC or Freo. He wants to head back home to WA.

    or the fringe players - yr tholstrup's, spargo's, laurie's, pup's of the world - need to develop into those roles

    Dees need to focus on skills and pace through the midfield.

     I don’t think that Riv and McVee are the answer.  They are excellent across our defence and should stay there.  You don’t rob your strengths to try to fix other gaps.  
     

    two steps 

    1. Recruit one mature player ready to go in the midfield.  Peatling for example would be an excellent addition.  
     

    2. use this year 2024 draft to see at least three quality midfielders… this years draft is super strong

    No, I'm speculating, but I can guarantee you he didn't cool because of Trac.

    Peatling for a future pick and  then use pick 5/6 on another midfielder sounds like a good start

    Spargo needs to step into ANB’s shoes over summer.

    Chandler is a better option. We need a goal kicking HFF.

    • 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?
