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.

Ignore them paying pick 10 and 34 for Lachie Schultz and giving Ginnivan away for nothing last year.

    Agree, that's the reason Petracca's not there next year right there.

    If the club dies maybe they will be rewarded in heaven.

    Don't Demons go the other way?

    Reckon they overvalued Schultz and got played by the best in the business at barrel rolling. Sneaking suspicion they let Ginny go for ... uh ... cultural reasons *ducks for cover*

    If Collingwood were giving away players for cultural reasons they should’ve had a fire sale! There’s quite a few they could’ve traded for the same reasons!

    This is a good move for North. Will help take a lot of pressure off Larky, who is already a star. Add in Parker, and I reckon North will finally make some inroads in 2025.

    Huge gets for North. Especially Parker, still got at least a couple of years left.

    Light at the end of the tunnel for the Roos.

    Also ignore them getting rid of players like Treloar and Grundy while still paying large amounts of their salary.

    Jeez that’s a high price in a reputed strong draft. I’d say 10 is overs. 

    There would have to be a 2nd rd pick going back to Freo, otherwise it's a massive overpay. Tigers will end up with heaps of 1st rd picks, so it would be easy for them to give away a 2nd rder.

    Anyone monitoring the Pies salary cap. 

    Pendles, Howe, Sidebottom, Cox Etc still going around and would on decent contracts  

    Whilst Adams walked last year, the only player who left from their best 22 from the premiership team was Murphy.

    And now departures are only Noble (again a former mid season rookie on limited $$) & Joe Richards would again be on minimum type contract   

    Over past 2 years adding in serious $$$s for Tom Mitchell, Bobby Hill, Mcstay, Schultz, … now Perryman and now right in the frame for Houston. 

    Lots of youngsters also on rising $$$ too like the Daicos boys and quaynor.  
     

    I know the salary cap is going up and up, but whilst the Dees have stagnated, Pies appear to be picking up more and more players on serious $$ as additions without much going out.  😭😭

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
