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.

Jay Clark continuing with the 'don't go to MFC' message for oppo players. 

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.

Not sure what you were expecting? 
 

Sounded fine to me.

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 😛

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
