IMO Gold Coasts offer for Petracca is looking weaker with Hawthorn and Sydney's alleged offers for their respective trades.

Can only add pressure on them hopefully.

Suns offer is better than the Hawks imo

picks 7 and 8

vs

9 and ~16 and a kid who can barely get a game

Hawks will have to give up a decent player if they want Merrett

    9, 16, (13&16ish) plus a player plus 2nd rounder

    We get 7, 8 (11 &12) no player and send them the most valuable second rounder there is.

    how do you know there are no academy or father sons next year?

    16 will prob be in the 20's surely?

    Probably.

    I still think we should be holding onto 24 and should even be squeezing out at least a future 2nd rounder from them if we're sending them Petracca and later picks their way to match their top 5 academy picks.

    Fox footy is saying the trade reported by Morris is different to the one reported by The Age.

    Nine’s Tom Morris reports:

    • ND 9 and,

    • F1 (2026) and,

    • 2nd round pick (2025/2026), and

    • Hustwaite

    The Age reported a

    • ND 9 and,

    • F1 (2026), and

    • Either:

      • 2nd round pick (2027) + ND 62

      • OR

      • Hustwaite type player and swap of later picks

    Don't know which is right ... would love Morris to be wrong 😁 but the GCS pick offer for Petracca is better than either of those even allowing for a pick going back to them.

    Yes Luci, that would have confused poor Tom.

    The Hawks arrogance is breathtaking. One good pick, 2 average ones and a plodder. Refusing to trade a best 23 but wanting A graders is why they are a bunch of [censored].

    And why they’re a non starter for Humphrey this year

    At least Sydney got it together and gave Carlton an offer worth thinking about

    Bombers on the karma train after 20 years of pulling the same stunts.

    Hawks play a 'no holds barred' game at trade time. Renegged on a deal with WCE in 2024. Courted their captain. Courted Ess captain.

    And they wait until 24 hours before the deadline to give Ess what is essentially a pick only deal which they could have tabled a week ago. Deliberately timed to squeeze Ess into giving Merrett up cheaply.

    Low life tactics!

    I hope there is footy karma for them in the coming years.

    Is the deal Carlton knocked back the pick 9/F1 plus 2 players?

    I believe so.

    They also knocked back 3 First Round picks from Geelong.

    Interesting

    They will have to take something today. Charlie is gone and has virtually said so in interviews

    Maybe just want to save face with supporters that they tried their best?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
