One thing is to have a third party spreading rumours. But to have your own reps to go and offer your services to a rival club while under contract?

I really don't see an issue with it. Playing the field to see his worth. Club can always say no. Waterman is doing the same at the Eagles off the back of our interest.

Club has to pay 95% of the cap and players have to accept less so that all the stars can fit on the list. If the highest paid player goes and we're only recruiting from the draft then that extra money should be spread around the senior players.

    Except is Waterman not out of contract? 
    Completely different.

    Waterman signed an extension last year. He'd be worth a lot more after this season.

    My mistake. I thought he was OOC. 

    Still his manager came out last week and said he was happy. In a time where our club is already under intense scrutiny, why add to it? 

    I don’t want to even contemplate the possibility of losing Pickett. It’s actually incomprehensible right now, and goes against everything I’ve heard of him being happy and settled. 

    If his manager is doing this for some extra cash, it’s pretty ordinary timing.

    That first bit is why I'm sus that this is a legit trade request.  Could be other things too. Like the club gauging what we could get if we blew the list up and went full rebuild. Kozzy would be a strange choice to trade though. There's a lot of caveats in those tweets especially the bit 'if a trade is too hard, happy to stay at Melbourne' Doesn't seem anywhere near the Petracca situation.

    What about this guy...

     

     

    Yep. The one who can kick. Brayshaw and Serong are gun clearance winners in a game where mids need to be good by fit to be truly elite. The difference between them + Fyfe and the three Port boys on Sunday was stark. Similar to why Clarry getting fit won't mean he's back to his best either. The game is moving.

    @Chook in Perth any info on this latest chapter of our never ending drama?

    Only that this didn't come to light just this week. Freo and his manager have been talking about what ifs for some time.

    The Punt Road stampede complicates things though.

    What ifs? What if what? He only just signed a new deal. Was he not happy to stay?


    What is a contract even worth anymore?

    What if he couldn't overcome the lack of family support with a baby. 

    I think we might have to apply the ANB rule here, as much as it hurts.

    Fremantle can't fit in Pickett's and Bolton's salary together which is the sticking point. Fremantle would love both them. 

    Fremantle needs a buyer to pay for Switta's contract. Switta may be pushed out to make it happen

    We certainly had our chance to draft him! 

    It would be a hilarious turn of events if we got in his ear and he requested a trade. Proper revenge for Jackson

    Thanks for the insights mate.

    Any good news on the horizon?

    Is it just me or would people be more upset if Kozzie goes rather than Trac?

    And is it possible we just say to Kozzie, "sorry mate, Trac and ANB have already requested trades that we're working on and prioritising in trade week.  First in best dressed. We won't be facilitating a trade for you but we'll do everything we can to support you next year, and we'll allow you frequent trips back home."

    1000% if Pickett left I would be absolutely gutted. Much more so than if Trac left. 

    I hope we move heaven and earth to do what we can to keep him. 
    Whereas with Trac I hope we move heaven and earth to get an amazing trade and move him on.

    Trade him for a couple of firsts to the Dokkahs, he's obviously going home at some stage

    I hear what you’re saying, but we can’t trade out that much experience and class in one window. We would be fast tracking our way to be in Richmond’s position when Tassie comes in.

    Yes It's a balancing act.

    Freo have 3 firsts this year and one next year to trade.

    Will we get 2 first rounders for Pickett in a year, if he still goes? As good as he is, most clubs probably arent spending that on a small fwd.

    Freo however with their draft hand can throw caution to the wind

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
