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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
