I know it doesn't work like this, but GWS owe us for Toby Bedford.  Quite a similar situation in a way, only Bedford was getting games and showing promise at AFL level.

Still spewing we let that kid go so easily.

he was out of contract… and we offered him a three year deal. So while I disagree with the use of the word  “ easily” I’m spewing too.

    Yeah, fair enough.  I forgot all the specifics.  Even though he was out of contract, that still meant GWS had to trade for him yeah?  Otherwise we could have told them we'd let him put himself up for the pre-season draft?   I really wish a few clubs would follow through on this threat some more as I feel players are really too free to walk out on clubs willy nilly at the moment.

    McCartney will probably drag this into next week to prove they tried to keep him.

    I don't think it's posturing. GWS has lost the battle (pun intended) on all of Perryman, Cumming and Peatling, and had already given up on Haynes. They're in the window, that’s a lot of support talent to lose in one year and they don't appear to have gained anyone. I suspect they genuinely want to hold Derksen.

    They have form of keeping players in contract who want to leave for personal circumstance. Bobby Hill a good example.

    Cam McCarthy too. He even moved back to WA and sat the year out from football.

    Perryman and Cumming both play medium back for GWS, Derksen can play tall back, Haynes definitely plays tall back. Losing all four gives them less flexibility and options to shuffle back there.

    It's a bit like if we lost Salem, Rivers, Sparrow and Tomlinson last year and Disco requested a trade.

    Yep. Suppose we have to hope his family needs are sufficient to sway GWS.

    GWS pretty adamant that they won't trade him.

    Shut the door in this one.

    If Derksen isn’t available it sounds like we’ve got SFA to look forward to for the rest of the trade period 

    Here’s to the pick swaps 🙌

    Surely Tim Lamb can’t survive a fourth consecutive year of doing SFA in the trade period ? We’re not improving 

    Tim Lamb is not being helped by our club being run like a circus. He can approach players and managers. He can make offers. But ultimately if nobody wants to come here, what can he do? 
    We have Houston on the hook, now he’s gone cold on us. We offered Peatling a good deal and he chose Adelaide. 
    It’s a sad state of affairs right now, as we are so far from a destination club.

    I’m fairness to Lamb he had Houston until the club self imploded. He’s not got much to work with right now

    If we have 3 picks inside 30 I think I’m ok with using the Grundy late 2nd round pick and marginally overpaying for a guy who’s a third. Assuming we have no one else available. 

    See if the Giants blink late.

    They’re talking about getting Stringer and Shiel, if they do that they’re at least feeling better about their net ins/outs over trade period.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
