So Flanders and Victorian Ben King for Trac and our future 1st. Between Carlton, Suns and Melbourne. Trac to Carlton, Curnow to Suns, Flanders and King to Melbourne. Or leave Flanders out of it altogether. Or I'd QLDer Walter, but would he take us?

Our Kingy could sell Gold Coast Kingy a faster more attacking game style that will make King more dangerous, he gets to play on the MCG every second week.

It's pretty compelling.

@old55

Hmmmm very interesting!

    Surely not a straight swap...Flanders has potential but not nearly as credentialed as Tracc. Tracc to GC with our Pick 23, for Flanders and Pick 6. Done. Do it tomorrow

    My theory is Aleer goes to Saints where GWS swap their first for STK first and some later future picks change hands. GWS trade 8 and a future 1st for Trac.

    I like the idea of him playing out his days in relative obscurity if he does go but can you see The Brand running around in front of 5,000 spectators every second week out there in falafel land?

    I like your theory but I don’t see us getting 2 first rounders for Trac. If a team absorbs his wage, I reckon it will be 1 first rounder at best.

    Of course. It will be a major factor. Reckon we'll be on the hook for a fair portion for the price to be right coming the other way, which is going to be the price of business.

    I wouldn't mind us paying some of the wage + GWS desperate for Mids with Cog and Kelly on their last legs.

    No issues in paying some of Tracca's wage if it results in extra/better picks

    It's essentially just draft pick purchasing

    the sooner that is allowed along with trading of players under contract the better

    Cal Twomey said he will meet with 4 clubs next week with Melbourne being one of them.

    Interestingly, he also mentioned that Steven King has already reached out to him to have a chat.

    Kingy being proactive is music to my ears.

    It’s about time we had a coach who was proactive in this space (and not just sending a half hearted text to Joe Daniher 🙄)

    Hawthorn is reaping the rewards of Mitchell doing this - no reason we shouldn’t do the same

    I hope we pick him up.

    Unlike your Sharps, Fullartons, Schaches, Derksens, Dunstans etc..this guy's a serious AFL footballer with classy disposal. He'd be our first meaningful acquisition from another club since Langdon and Tomlinson from 2019.

    I wouldn't be trading out Trac if know I'm getting Flanders in.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
