Why would Luke Parker want to go to nth?

Does he want September off? Or does he feel he can help the younger players at nth and wants a change.

    Geelong could re-sign Parfitt as a DFA and the media would pump it up like it's a stroke of genius.

    Geelong allegedly pursuing all of Martin, Bailey Smith, and Oliver is starting to look like a whole lot of under-the-table deals and a 'make sure he loses it in this casino' vibe.

    Meanwhile, Bulldogs Best and Fairest had an interesting quirk that not a single player from their forward line made the top ten. Ugle-Hagan, Naughton, Weightman and Darcy all missed. That's a lot of salary cap consumed for what the club itself is saying is not much return.

    Martin will be on SFA

    Tuohy, Hawkins, Parfitt and their other delistings may have cleared up significant salary for next year. They also have a lot of other older players who will be coming off their deals and possibly retiring in the coming years.

    Deals can be structured to support the club, Smith and Oliver may have theirs front ended or back ended so the club can fit them in.

    Clubs can also just pay you more when they have a surplus at the end of the year. Say 5 players have a $100k performance bonus for making the All-Australian team but none of them make it. That's $500k the club could give to a player that year, and take it off a latter year of their contract. All legal and stuff clubs do.

    Fiorini attempting to find a new home on a multi-yr deal, with one year left on Suns deal.

    We’re the obvious ones to bite given lack of midfield depth but I’m not a huge fan, he is just really inconsistent. Billings kind of sitting in the role he would play anyway as that midfielder-come hff

    Is that like MDMA?

    But yes, you are right - I see Martin as being more in the 'lose it in this casino' side of the comment.

    Bailey and Oliver, though... that's big money.

    John Noble is being massively overrated this trade period. Wasn’t in there best 22 12 months ago yet all of a sudden the pies want more for him than what we want for Nibbler

    Agree. Pies want a 2nd and 3rd round pick in 20s and 40s. Why? He wasn’t best 22.  
     

    Dees apparently getting pick “28” for Nibbler.  Will likely be pick 33 once the father son and academy picks get done (Ashcroft, Lombard, Ben Camporeale, Marshall, Kako all should be nominated in before pick 18!!) and the Nibbler finished 3rd in MFC B&F . Dees getting screwed but have little to argue with as we have agreed to let him go.

    And they'll get it because they are good negotiators, demand a ridiculous amount, don't roll over and end up getting less than they asked for but more than it's worth.

    But hey, they don’t get as many ‘nice guy points’ as we do, right?
     

    Where can we redeem those nice guy points by the way?

    They want GC's 1st 13. They'll have to include their F1 to get it.

    They likely offer something like F1 + Noble for 13 + 29

    Whether GC bites is another question, they have a lot of options for 13.

    Nice try by Pies but would GC get enough points for Lombard if they entertained that?

    They've got 23, 41 and 49 so probably.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
