Demons must go the Trade Route

Walls' article is painfully shallow.

Whats he saying 'hey, Melbourne have some valuable players which would be great for anyone but Melbourne'.

Basically it sounds like his advice is to hit the PANIC button.

Stuff him. These players are Melbourne.

And the Hawks got the jackpot by trading overvalued second-raters, not first raters.

And Everitt, which is a 'special' case.

I notice Crawford still plays for Hawthorn. Surely they should've picked up a first round pick for him?

    what a joke walls should be shot for this... WALLS YOUR A JOKE...

    thats a great portion of our side .. no way would we want to get rid of them... they some of our most valuable players there...

    you dont trade your best players unless there's a massive reason to (to get Judd maaayyybbeee)

    was a rediculous article and lost credibility because he suggested trading players like bruce and green for 2nd round picks...if you were to trade these players as he suggested, you would only do so to get something valuable in return...

    a second round pick you pick up an 18 yr old who might be good in 2 years, and might be great, who knows...for Green or Bruce, 26 year old players who are great now.

    ive got no problem with walls saying this. i bet that we think about this every year. but to trade white, robbo or green we would need to be getting something good in return. a first round pick and a player who will play 20 games a year for us at least.

    if opposition clubs said we want bruce, here is player x and a pick (between 1 and 10), and the player was 18-24 and going to be a regular player for melb id take it, even if that player isnt a star. if we could have 3-5 first round draft picks at the end of this year we would jump at the chance. if we had that we would secure the future of our list. we might not win a flag next year but added 3 first round players to the current crop of youngsters and we would be in a better shape than we are now...

    the club would trade those players if the offer was good and i would be disappointed if we refused to trade any player.

    • 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.
