lol..If its off the table he'll have nothing to talk about all trade week. 

Oh yes he will. There is no such thing as stooping too low for Barrett.

If Melbourne trades Clarry, ‘Dees are stupid to let him go’

If Melbourne doesn’t, ‘AFL should step in and fine Dees due to restraint of trade’

    I just watched that a few mins ago... he is about to get the sack.
    Imagine being positive about us...

    That's not on, Positivity isn't allowed here!

    Unless you are positively bagging the bejesus outta us.

    Trac will play more forward than midfield next year

    That would be disappointing.

    Trac's at his best as a mid, and we're at our best when he's in the midfield. 

    If Trac was going to kick 5 every week per the Carlton game, I'd be all for it, but that's not going to happen.

    I have made an official complaint re this post on the AFL website, as it implies that the AFL is supporting Barrett to undermine the Melbourne Football Club, I will keep everybody posted on the sort of reply I get, helpful knowing a couple of 'independent' journalists if I get the brush off.

    Clarry is going to build upon his health and happiness with a HUGE preseason to start next year FIT and FURIOUS. 

    He'll take this holistic wellbeing to bring out the midfield beast we all know and love in 2025 destroying oppo everywhere, and likely claiming, another, Bluey, AA and AFLCA. 

    He is not going anywhere except for the gym and a few rounds of golf with the lads. 

    You can take that to the bank.

    The club will regret not trading one of the players you mentioned because (you have a feeling) one or more will request a trade next year? I don’t think your post will be viewed as “unpopular”, more so just bizarre. 

    I think the belief is that this years draft, offers us the best chances to get replacement midfielders. Not holding my breath of Oliver and Trac improving their value next year. Trac may struggle post injury and take time and who knows with Clarry. My post is purely about risk vs reward of offloading this year to rebuild talent.

    Fair call SPC. Apologies if my post came across as rude.

    In saying "By some people around Clayton" Barret is referring to the reporters hiding in Clarry's bin and laundry basket.

    That would amaze me but if you know that, then you know it. But I stand by what I said. He is forever kissing Geelong's you know what, and on the rare occasions that he isn't, he is bagging Melbourne.

    The only team he bags more than Melbourne, is North Melbourne, who he does support. But he has a weird obsession with Geelong.

    Lamb and co. can deny that Oliver was "shopped around", but we wouldn't have 100 pages of "Oliver trade rumours" if he wasn't.

    I think it's probably a question of semantics. For Lamb, back-room offers and calls to check on availability or hint that player X could be available for the right place are probably everyday occurrences.

    For the rest, we don't know who did what in all this. Between MFC, Geelong, Oliver's manager and any number of others who might have been across what was gong on, we'll probably never know the details.

    This will be hugely unpopular, but I believe with limited knowledge of the internal situation, that Melbourne will regret not trading one or more of Clarry, Trac or Kos. I have a feeling that one or more will request a trade next year. 
    Happy to be wrong, hoping I’m wrong.. 

    I suspect at least two and probably all three will

    Geez, I hope the talent pool in the 2025 draft is a good one, sounds like we are going to have about 10 first rounders

    Bagging Melbourne has become an art form.

    I reckon we're a distant second behind Gold Coast. He has been brutal on them all year.

    You can say that about all journalism these days. Just propaganda and mushroom farming whether it’s sports, geo politics, identity, left or right, there’s bull for every demographic. 90% one reads or sees in MSM is pure bull and hype. MSM doesn’t make money from traditional sources anymore like advertising, direct sales or subscriptions like it used to. Once it could keep a modicum of independence because it could generate its own finances. Now it relies on shilling for vested interests that now pay the bills.

    Barrett is a North fan.


    Relevance? He never stated DB was a Geelong supporter & it seemed fairy correct. DB is very pro-Geelong.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
