Are you the leak? Or maybe we’re closing in on a deal and he’s loath to sabotage it..?

No. I believe everything i know is known by other player managers

It'll be an interesting next few days DF!

Put it this way, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear him come out in the next 48 hours. I keep asking myself, if the dees truly believe he is out of the picture, then why are they persisting?

    Where are you getting the Flanders information from? Months ago?….

    Was widely reported in the media back in June that Flanders was looking to move, and the only club mentioned in those reports was St Kilda. Someone knew.

    When there’s no trade request tomorrow, please go back to living your lives.

    You have made up your mind and that's fine. But answer me this, how have I got the other things right? Just curious

    Can anyone in this camp explain how losing a future 250 gamer in McVee and Petracca for what will be picks 10 and 11 in a weak draft is actually a good result? Or is it just the (justified) pessimism where we expect to be shafted at the trade table?

    Please don’t get hate just my idea but Trac for Humphrey in my opinion is a great swap. GC are in the window for the next few years to win a premiership (years trac probably has left in his playing career) we as some would say are in a rebuild and BH would probably get knocked back in GC team anyway being replaced by Trac and makes sense coming to us. You don’t have to agree it was just my thought and opinion.

    I was hopeful of Humphrey too. But probably time to accept it’s likely not going to happen.

    But people saying 7&8 aren’t enough, and that we should keep Trac if that’s the offer, are wide of the mark too.

    No player in AFL history, as far as I can remember, has gone for two top 10 picks in a trade. Yes it’s a compromised and weak draft, but it’s still an excellent haul for a bloke who’s about to turn 30.

    No point jumping off the West Gate if that’s what it ends up being. Just have to back JT in to do his thing.

    But we are also giving picks back to GC.

    Jeremy Cameron went to the ferals for 2x 1st rounders and a future 1st.

    I don’t hate the Suns but I don’t like being bent over by them and pleasing their every wish.

    I know it’s just the way the system works at the moment but we’re being used as their dumping ground so they can offload two draft picks that they don’t want or need so they can accumulate points with second and third rounders so they can take a superstar of the competition and 2 of the top 5 players in the draft crop (which only bats about 6 deep).

    Woe is me but I hate it

    With two 2nd rounders coming back the other way.

    To be honest, I would not know what you have got right or wrong in the past.

    I’ve just jump back on the last 3 days and followed this, not as intense as some others on here.

    I hope you are right as a Melbourne supporter we are.

    I just asked my contact who’s Melbourne supporter who works in the media world.

    Just replied Suns won’t be trading him.

    Right now I 100% hope you are right cos he laughs at the fact I jump on here occasionally

    That's the general consensus within the media, however this is not what dees think or they would have moved on by now

    • 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.
