Battle, Cumming, Perryman, Haynes, Himmelberg and Campbell all might happen today. Graham might take a few more days.

Only Battle, Cumming, Perryman and Graham are likely to have a significant impact on draft capital, and therefore trade period.

Really curious about Battle whether it's first round of end of first round. Pick 8 for the Saints would be huge and IMO is exactly what they need.

    The Herald Sun has an interesting article listing the main candidates and the projected compensation. 

    Two players of interest from Melbourne’s perspective:-

    Adam Tomlinson Landing: TBC

    Tomlinson couldn’t find a home inside Melbourne’s best 22 this year despite the team’s struggles, and is expected to leave the club for greener pastures. He’s an unrestricted free agent and can freely move to a third club, but he hasn’t nominated a team yet. St Kilda and Collingwood are both expected to be in the frame for the utility.

    Projected compensation: Nil

    Tom Campbell Landing: Melbourne 

    Campbell is poised to continue his AFL career into a 13th year — despite never playing more than nine matches in a season. After serving as Rowan Marshall’s back-up at St Kilda since 2022, Campbell has been linked with Melbourne, where he would become Max Gawn’s understudy. The 32-year-old would offer valuable back-up for the Demons’ skipper after they were caught short this year when Gawn was injured, forced to use an undersized Harrison Petty in the middle. The club had high hopes for former Lion Tom Fullarton, but appears to have moved passed him. He would join as a delisted free agent after being cut by the Saints in August. 

    Projected compensation: Nil

    The rest:-

    Josh Battle Landing: Hawthorn

    Projected compensation: Mid 1st round pick – No. 8

    Harry Perryman Landing: Collingwood

    Projected compensation: Mid 1st round pick – No. 15

    Isaac Cumming  Landing: Adelaide

    Projected compensation: Mid 2nd round pick – No. 35

    Jack Graham  Landing: West Coast

    Projected compensation: End of 2nd round pick – No. 39

    Elliott Himmelberg Landing: Gold Coast
    Projected compensation: 3rd round pick – No. 43

    Tim Membrey Landing: TBC

    Projected compensation: 3rd round pick – No. 46

    Nick Haynes Landing: Carlton

    Projected compensation: Nil

    Jack Martin Landing: Geelong

    Projected compensation: Nil (delisted free agent)

    If Josh Battle is worth pick 8...

    No, nope, there's no viable end to that sentence.

    Secret formula strikes again.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
