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 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
