    I think today was just about Father Son stuff, I think most clubs will have laid their cards on the table, but I believe that the official start of trade week is tomorrow and ends 2pm Friday.

    Haha. What trade news? If you picture one of those cartoon moments where there is an awkward silence; nobody says anything, perhaps a cough, a tumbleweed floating past...

    That's what Telstra Dome is like in Trade Week.

    Only trade today that is a definate....

    Marty Mattner (Crows) to Sydney....

    In return the Crows will probably look at getting the Swans first or second pick.... Most likely their 2nd!!

    Either would see Sydney having their pants pulled down. They are a dead-set mystery, Sydney.

    disagree.

    mattner is a very good player.

    clearly Sydney havnt done too badly in their trading. ppl may bag them but they have been in the top 2 teams in the comp in the last 3 years and have won a premiership (1 kick away from 2 premierships).

    maybe we should be looking at them for inspiration rather than bagging them, when we havnt been close to a premiership in 44 years

    Mattner will fit in well at sydney, pretty quick and can give lots of run off half back and through the middle which is good for the SCG because its small. Kennelly has said that he wants to go back to Ireland at the end of this contract so they may be looking at a replacement

    I just find it amazing that Sydney are able to get the most out of not-so-great players. You wouldn't nominate Buchanan, Ablett, McVeigh, Matthews, etc as a premiership midfield unit, would you? But then, there it is, the proof is in the pudding.

    When I say they are a mystery I mean that I can't understand why they continue to pick up fringe players. Surely if they can get so much out of the above blokes then they could get even more out of premium players.

    As for Mattner, I would have him in the company of those players above. His tackling is good, but I am otherwise unconvinced.

    If that happens it'll be our game's loss IMO. That said, I guess it was going to happen sooner or later with some of the imports.

    interesting tho. he has come, had fun, won a premiership, made his money, and now he is going back home...im not having a go at him. i think its great. growing up he never would have planned to play sport for a living, given that it is amateur in ireland, but he has managed to make a fortune out of it...i hope he has managed his finances well, he is one of the lucky few who get access to that sort of income...

    we have made 2 grandfinals in the last 44 years, and both times we were thrashed by record margins...we have a history of not getting close to a flag.

    sydney have a recent history of being a dominant team in the competition (goodes double brownlow also) and have made 2 grandfinals, and 1 premiership

    Why would we give up pick 21 when we can just as easily pick him up in the PSD for nothing? :unsure:

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
