BT, Mike Sheahan and Jason Dunstall on Foxtel said Chris Judd to the Demons and part of the deal is James Frawley to Saints for Pick 9.

Didn't hear the start of it - did anyone else?

    I'm happy with the Judd to Melbourne bit, but Frawley is one player I really don't want to lose.

    I hope Bailey has another young defender up his sleeve that he's looking to poach or draft, because Frawley will be a gem.

    This from a BigFooty West Coast supporter -

    That would be the greatest deal on the planet, but it seems unlikely.

    Everything else sounds pretty common sense.

    I just saw it, folks. It was much as reported by Hutchy. Basically, that Frawley will go to the Saints for their first pick, and that Judd to Melbourne is virtually a done deal. I am highly excited. Naturally, there were the thoughtless, numb-nutted comments from those peasants about Melbourne's facilities: "Boo, hoo. Melbourne doesn't have good facilities - why would he go there?" Do some research you brainless maggots. We'll have those facilities this time next year.

    Our first pick this year, our first pick from last year and our second round pick... I think that's very fair.... if that's the deal I'm stoked. I reckon there'll still be a number of players that will be traded to get us back into the draft and or for some up and coming players.

    I reckon Frawley will be a very good player... but if we can pick up a Rance/Collier/Henderson/McEvoy by getting back into the first round... all we've really done is miss out on 12 months development... and we've got Judd.... OH HAPPY DAYS.

    It will take more than Frawley to get pick 9, don't be supprised if our second pick will go to St Kilda as well.

    Im not getting over excited cos its not certain yet, and I dont wanna become suicidal

    However, if we gain Judd without losing Davey, Sylvia, Travis, Bruce, Brock, Bate, Dunn, Jones, Rivers, Bell, Newton and Green then lock in the Demons for the 2008 flag

    Why? Frawley was pick 12 in a draft rated stronger than this years, with 12 months of development at AFL level under his belt.

    If St.Kilda were looking to take a key defender with pick 9, this deal would be ideal for them.

    Can't see why that would be, he was 12th pick in the "super draft" last year.

    Well our 2nd pick is part of the Judd deal. Possibly a downgrade of our 3rd to a 4th round pick if anything. Don't underestimate the sentimental pulling power of Frawley to Saints; particularly for a club that is having trouble at the moment, and also is very big on it's club heroes.

    I was about to post exactly that. You saved me the trouble!

    I hope it is that easy Frawley for pick 9, but I can't see it although you would think St Kilda would rather see Judd go to us than the other three teams in the hunt.

    Is anybody else's head about to explode?????!!!????!?!???

    It's not like St. Kilda is doing us a favour here. They're getting a gun backman for the next 12 years. Much better than a speculative 9th pick. Obviously great for us if it lands us Judd though!

    It might turn out getting Bailey was the best thing.. as he might have got Judd :)

    How funny is it? You know when something big is going down, because inevitably so is Demonology :lol:

    Don't get me wrong, I so keen to get Judd i'd probably put my grannie up for sale...BUT...do you reckon we should be trading a kid who is potentially a 12 year player and the cornerstone of our defence for years to come?? There's got be some other way to get Judd to the dees

  • Quote

    I can't believe people would be upset to lose Frawley over this - I was prepared to lose anyone and I thought we would have to lose one or more of:

    McLean

    Jones

    Bate

    Bell

    Dunn

    Newton

    Rivers

    Bruce

    Green

    Sylvia

    Johnstone

    Davey

    Robertson

    In all honesty I rate Frawley's value below ALL of them and agree with Yze_Magic in that I would be giggling my ass off if we snared Chris Judd and kept all of the above

    well maybe, but not as part of this reputed deal - if a seperate deal emerged to trade Robbo for a high pick I would be even more happy as we will still get ourselves a quality youngster this year

    It's all coming up Demon

    No, we just hope it's all coming up Demon........

    Although that would make a very nice change :) !!!

  • Quote

    a quick question:

    Frawley will be a great backman for the next 10-12 seasons

    Judd will be an elite midfielder for the next 6 or so seasons.

    Is there any point?

    are we even going to be in the premiership window when we have judd?

    • 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.
