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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
