Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen

BAMF
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
