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

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.

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.

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...

silly post. they have been arguably the dominant team of the past 3 years, even moreso than WestCoast

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:

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    2024 Player Reviews: #10 Angus Brayshaw

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
