You are joking? Offer nothing get nothing! We have been mannifestly poor so far, and from where I sit to think we will improve with this list is foolhardy thinking!

How would you know what we have offered?

Ben Brown’s on Trade Radio, talking about our year and the club generally:

 

Why do some people sound so good and sensible when they speak. That’s BBB fo you. 

Others can say the same thing and why do we not believe them? 

Not saying all will happen easily but we are not 14 th on the ladder for talent. Many things in 2025 could occur with just tweaks and luck plus no injuries to key personnel. 

Any if the teams from third to 15 th could win across next year. However it will be harder next year as Lions will improve now they know how to and BELIEVE.

We rightfully had a crack at Peatling and missed.

Perryman is going to be paid $900k at the Pies.

Cummings a 6 year deal at the Crows.

Battle enough contract to trigger the highest draft compensation.

Houston if we were still in it would be costing us pick 5 

Baker and Bolton we are in the wrong state to entice.

Noble and Rioli first round picks.

Haynes, Darling, Parker passed well passed their best and would require good $$ multi year retirement deals.

Some times the best list management is the one that does little. 

 

Good post

Damn, it would be a hard gig on trade radio so far this trade period.

Not sure what else to expect though. Not a lot of prospects in the market this year for trade, either buying or selling. 

A high quality draft crop and mid level talent on the trade table. All the teams want to get into the draft as early as possible and as often as possible. In my book that leads to high price tags on any that are traded.

For the MFC I do not see us doing much in the trade week. ANB to Adelaide, Campbell in and maybe a couple of steak knives shuffles but I expect us to retain and use pick 5 and try to get into a position for a late first round selection. 

As to the Oliver situation I think it is as much a result of the lack of trades so far as anything else. I think he will line up for us next season along with Petracca. 

With not a lot else to talk about the AFL Media is driving this for all it is worth. Give me a break.... I read a headline that said Oliver has a dream of playing for Geelong.

If you've got some Clonakilla SV I'm prepared to reconsider, Ravensworth even.

No trades for two days but there must be something stirring out there in the Milky Way 

IMG_6507.jpeg.73189e1a5117e0e216b710701e75e040.jpeg

Somewhere out there are the following stories-

Essendon could be asked to pay some of Jake Stringer's salary if he moves to GWS.

Luke Ball has urged Geelong not to put Bailey Smith through the same national draft stress he endured in 2009 and get a deal done with Western Bulldogs.

The AFL gave the green light to Port Adelaide trading its future first-round pick, which is likely to be used in the Jack Lukosius deal.

Noah Balta signed a massive contract extension at Richmond in a big show of commitment as other stars want out of Punt Road.

So yesterday was the day of pick swaps and thankfully, we are on a two day break for the weekend while we digest the excitement of clubs trading draft selections. Here they are in a nutshell:-

Trade (Carlton / Brisbane)

Carton receive pick 73 and a future second round pick while picks 34 and 66 head to Brisbane.

Trade (Richmond / Brisbane)

Tigers receive the Lions’ pick 20 in return for a suite of selections: Picks 32, 42, 43 and 45.

Trade (Hawthorn / Carlton)

Carlton grab pick 14 from Hawthorn in return for their future first and second round picks.

The AFL trade period (and by extension, AFL Trade Radio) would be nothing without Melbourne if yesterday was anything to go by. 

Two interconnected trades occurred on the day:-

• Pick swap between Adelaide & Melbourne

Adelaide receives future 3rd-round pick.

Melbourne receives Pick 46.

IMG_6611.thumb.jpeg.b1a8107af0a8819776ed37d2db16591f.jpeg
• Pick swap between Melbourne & Essendon

Melbourne receives Pick 9 and future 3rd-round pick.

Essendon receives Picks 28, 40, 46, 54 & 65 and future 1st-round pick.

IMG_6609.thumb.jpeg.0678120c064b3b5f167d32d7f01fdfa3.jpegI think the first was a residual part of the ANB deal as it wouldn’t really make sense otherwise.

There was lots of discussion on other matters to fill the hours including about the forthcoming announcement of the results of Melbourne’s review so it really was our day.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s

    2024 Player Reviews: #27 Marty Hore

    The versatile defender who can play as a tall interceptor and also take on smaller opponents got his second chance this year but injuries prevented him from getting a regular place in the Melbourne team and managed to add only seven games to his AFL tally this year.

    THE HEAT IS ON by Meggs

    FNQ will be hot and sultry this Thursday night when the mighty Demons take on the highflying Hawks at up there Cazalys Stadium in Cairns.   The Demons once again rebrand for Indigenous Round as ‘Narrm’, the Woi Wurrung name for Melbourne in the language of the traditional owners.   Narrm has surged back up the ladder and sits just outside the eight on percentage with 5 wins. Our opponents Hawthorn sit second with 8 wins and have been become really offensive.
