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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
