    i think more likely trade for robbo would be pick 22 and 38 from the bulldogs (2nd and 3rd round picks).

    i think this is probably a fair deal for both sides, especially considering robbo is 28 (turning 29) and we will probably need to release him to ease the salary cap pressure if judd comes to Melbourne.

    for me the best possible trade week would be:

    trade 1:

    Judd to Melbourne.

    pick 4, pick 21 and johnstone to WestCoast.

    trade 2:

    Johns Meeson to Melbourne (in 'TheAge' is reported that the demons have offered Meeson a contract and he has been asked to be traded to us)

    pick 37 + a sweetener (maybe Miller or Jamar considering theyv lost 2 ruckman this off season) to Adelaide

    trade 3:

    Pick 22 and 38 to Melbourne

    Robbo to Bulldogs.

    overall:

    Melbourne Gain: Judd, Meeson (basically the same 2nd and 3rd round picks)

    Lose lose: pick 4, johnstone and Robbo

    means in the off season we'v lost 7 players 28 years and older, gained the best player in the afl, a promising young ruck to take over White.

    =massive win for Melbourne.

    ----trading robbo for picks will be important especially if we give away our picks for Judd. we dont want to end up with our first pick at pick 60

    Sounds good to me

    Like ur thinking Sylvinator. Meesen for Pick 37 and Jamar (he is from SA i think) would work in our favour. But do you really think the Eagles would want another midfielder(johnstone). They have about 8 or 9 already. I would think maybe a small forward. Not sure who though. Tough choice really!!! :wacko:

    i know it doesnt mean anything, but all the rumours indicate the deal is Johnstone, pck 4 and pick21.

    this is a pretty fair deal imo, but obv we are getting Judd for under market value if he chooses us as his prefered club.

    Johnstone is a direct replacement for Judd in the WestCoast starting 18. without a tagger he will be awesome for them.

    pick 4 gets them a highly rated WestAustralian and pick 21 as well.

    Johnstone will get tagged wherever he goes. TJ is destructive but teams know they can shut him down and kill his influence.

    Kerr and Judd have shown they can work over taggers so teams will target TJ. Hopefully we will too.

    The latest rumor is Frawley to saints for pick 9 then pick 4 and 9 to WCE for Judd. Two top ten picks is a fair deal IMO as WCE need to rebuild in order to change their culture.

    If the bullies get Robbo and Hudson they may well in a complicated set of swaps give up pick 5 via Crows and we get Meeson plus a good draft pick.

    The Crows will be keen to rebuild with some youth and the Bullies have some good young players at the club. Robbo would be very good for the Bullies.

    I'd really like that trade sylvinator if it went through, we aren't giving up half the team for Judd and we get IMO a young ruckman with a lot of potential in Meesen.

    From memory i thought Meesan had walked, and that he wanted to play for the Dees, and i also believe that Carlton and Richmond both said that they weren't interested in Meesan or Hudson, so the fact that we'd offered him a contract would imply that there's a good chance we'll pick him up in the PSD for nix if he said he wasn't interested to any other club

    according to the 'informed' westies.. Trapper wont go west...apparantly he might go somewhere...lol.. just not west.

    Ah ...got to love speculation :)

    Gunna be one hell lof a busy trade week for a change...lol

    The latest rumor is Frawley

    Be stoked if we trade him. He's been the only first year player in recent years who hasn't shown a thing.

    So in order to get Judd, we would've only lost pick 4 and Frawley...highway robbery!

    keep in mind Perth is the most remote city on earth... might get a little clustrophobic for some !!

    Dunno why he (TJ ) wont go west...dunno why it was even mooted that he would in first place....this is eaglespeak.. Not us !!

    Anyone thinking this is dreaming.

    Yes but Robbo + Bruce = pick5 + a 3rd round pick :- = Henderson or McEvoy +

  • Quote

    Frawley didn't show much? I must have been watching another Frawley play in red and blue.

    Frawley is the key defender who can run out of defence we have been looking for over the past decade. This guy is going to be something and you can already tell he will not have any problems bulking up.

    If there is an area where can least afford to trade it is key position big men as we simply don't have any quality proven KPP at this stage.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
