Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen

I can’t imagine Adelaide trading out Rachele. Would we take him if the deal could be done? I’d say yes but only after we’ve tried and failed to convince a key forward to join. A King would be great but can’t see how.

    The fall out from the showdown is wild. A Port fan is trying to press charges against Matt Crouch because he knocked his hat off.

    It’s crazy.

    Adelaide's 2nd rounder (circa 28) is about right as a stand alone deal. 

    I'd keep him if he didn't want to go, but anything beyond that for a 29yo who is a decent role player but nothing beyond that is probably delusional

    That was the price they set for McAdam who offers a fraction of the value that Neal-Bullen does. Maybe they'll take both McAdam and Neal-Bullen for that pick.

    I reckon depending upon where we end up at rounds end, we should trade our first pick and ANB to Adelaide for their first pick and either a 2nd rounder or player.

    If in the highly unlikely possibility that Josh Rachele from the Crows requests a trade to Victoria, then a trade with Alex Neal-Bullen and maybe a draft pick is definitely on the cards. It would be a massive boost to our forward line too.

    Dan Houston from the Power to the Demons is still a possibility, but maybe not as certain as it was a few months ago. Two first round picks for Dan Houston seems a bit over the top though!

    But yes, it would definitely be interesting to see who provides the better offer for Alex Neal-Bullen in either the Crows or Power and who actual needs him more? I suspect the Crows do.

    it would seem to be a fait accompli that he's going to the crom for the 2nd round pick that we gave up for mcadam

    absolute bargain for them

    Or, we over paid for McAdam...

    Yes agree likely Crows will offer back the “2nd round pick tied to MFC”. Likely pick 25-26.  That’s probably ok if we could get Harrison Oliver with that pick.

    I would want Crows 2nd round pick circa 27 and their future 3rd round pick to use for our FS and Academy picks in 2025.

    ANB is clearly better player than McAdam.

    If the Saints win that's unlikely because we'll be pick 5 and the Crows pick 4.

    CROWS LIKELY TO OFFER PICK 25

    “pick 25 CROWS - tied to MFC SECOND ROUND PICK”

    probably Dees ask for at least 25 and 42 for ANB and pick 51

    Dees 5, 25, 38, 42, 45   That’s then available to package and get further up the order with GC to trade to get points

    I love your optimism, insights and opinions on Demonland. I agree with you 99.9% with your opinions. However, I have a bad feeling that Adelaide are going to play hard ball with us and will offer a future 2nd round pick for Alex Neal-Bullen. Technically I believe pick 25 is the right pick to give us in return. Adelaide are going to play a game of funny buggars with this trade.

    That would now be a possibility.

    Type of scenario that scares about Kozzie Pickett as well.

    New bub, all his extended family support are back in WA and SA and his partner is from Larrakia country which is up Darwin.

    You only have to watch the Kozzie documentary to realise how incredibly close he is with his family.

    As I said a few pages back. When you become a new parent your whole perspective in life changes and the support you need when you become a new parent is immense.

    What’s right for Nibbler May not be the same for Koz. Don’t think it’s worth jumping at shadows. Baby shadows that is

    Clearly what's right for Nibbler is right for Kozzie eh DJ?

    You said I was jumping at shadows, which clearly I wasn't, so yes it is necessary to bring it up to prove a point that I wasn't.

    That's all..

    Surely the club comes first, if ANB trade causes a chain reaction of players wanting to do whatever they want despite contracts then we have to just veto all of them

    They'll give us pick 25 , which is the pick we gave up for McAdam. . In that case you could say we got McAdam for free , which is about the right price based on this year's output

    On second thought I think this would mean effectively a anb for McAdam swap , yuk

    Well we pretty much got hustled by the Crows, if Burgess couldn't get him fit in 2 years then we had no chance.

    The decent thing for the Crows to do would give our pick 25 back in return for ANB.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
