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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
