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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
