I don’t think the club feels like they can sell that to supporters. I think we have to land a player too, or this will feel like a loss in the eyes of many.

In the eyes of most, I'd think.

They deliberately traded into last year's draft knowing it was a cracker. Ideally they would have kept a pick in the 20s but they got two really good players. They've now made it clear Oliver and Petracca are tradeable in a year where the draft is below average or worse, and heavily compromised. They have to get at least one really good players back.

    The 2025 Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period will start on Monday, October 6 and run until Deadline Day on Wednesday, October 15.

    Plenty of time to smash F5

    Lamb and Co will need to work their [censored] off to satisfy everyone at club, otherwise Trac goes nowhere...GC will need to pony up or forget it.

    Draft picks from the GC for Trac then it is!

    Go hard for 6+ 13 Dees, with late picks back to help them land their 2x top 10 academy boys.

    Actually if we don’t get Flanders they’ll end up holding

    Their own; 6 and 13

    if Flanders goes to StK; 7

    If Flanders goes to Essendon; one of 4, 5 or 8 (from Hawthorn as part of Merrett deal).

    So I’d upgrade the ask to 6 and 8 (assuming ESS) and then take one of those picks to market for a player.

    We cannot have Oliver, Petracca, Judd and May leave and only bring in kids/pics. We will be in for a world of hurt!

    Petracca aside, not sure any of them really stood up last year to have us really concerned about their absence

    Agree with this.

    We’ll be some older, experienced players down but we should get considerable growth from some young boys (Windsor/XL/Langford) which could drive us further forward than maintaining the status quo would have

    There are 16 other teams we can trade with.

    People on DL acting like the roof is caving in if we don’t collect Bailey and Flanders specifically.

    Both players probably are our plan A but I am pretty confident our plan B would be to use the healthy draft picks we suck out of GC to lure someone else (who probably isn’t even being spoken about yet).

    You are dreaming. You honestly believe that there is an A grader out there who is seeking to join a club that is in rebuild mold? And our record of attracting talent to the club has been so good under Tim Lamb, lol.

    Yeh Humphrey doesn’t sound like it’ll be happening. Twomey and Beveridge very insistent that Gold Coast won’t entertain a trade involving him. If we miss on Flanders too this’ll be an all time trade shafting

    Correct

    Dees must say it’s Trac for Flanders plus pick 13. Thats the minimum deal.

    If its pick 6 & 13 from the Suns, for Trac, then we might also bite

    Need to really own this one.

    If we can't lure Flanders or Humphrey with the King connection, we have no hope. We have nothing to sell to any decent player from any other team.

    We'll be the next Norf.

    Collingwood offers the best future lol. 90% of their list is prehistoric and Nick Daicos is going to get the biggest offer in history from Tasmania. it's a real possibility in 2 years time we're a finals team and Collingwood are where West Coast are.

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
