With four hours left for trading tomorrow, expect some frantic movements when clubs try and do deals in the last few hours. No doubt there will be deals done tomorrow or the rumours will be so far off as to be laughable. There will be hard luck stories and clubs saying if only we had more time to do the deal. The result will be several players delisted and forming the basis of the PSD. Well we don't have long to wait to know the results.

    ONE LAST CHANCE TO GET BENNY MCKINLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Quote

    Fingers crossed at the end of the day we can also welcome a Symes/McKinnley/Murphy.

    At first choice I would have said Symes as he'd be a nice fit creating run off the hbf but I think we may already have the tools to create our own running half back flanker. Haven't seen anything of McKinnley but i'm all for them taking the punt on a player of his type. As for Murphy, I really really like the look of this kid, think he's being held back with the addition of Tarrant.

    Murphy is tempting but what bait do we have left...

    I say that because I think CAC would like to keep 4, 14, 21.

    Gee, 4, 14, 21...that sounds pretty good.

    Especially with CAC in charge.

    On radio tonight CAC said there wasn't anything on the table but we'll wait and see.

    I'd like to snare a Bolton or Graham but I doubt we will be involved in another trade.

    I think this is the crux of the matter, MFC will sit back and see what we're offered. Should no more trades transpire then we've stil ldone rather well. But is a 'bargain" pops our way, well we're in a very good position to play ball on our terms :) Yes.. might be an interesting day :) The PSD still has me intrigued .

    with the psd coming up, and us holding pick3 , we might be interested in trying to suggest players to ehad that way. carlton and richmond would be thinking the same, there is no point in wasting those picks, so it is our job tomorrow to disrupt other potential trades that dont involve us and get some players to the psd!

    i cant help but think that carlton wont be a big player in the PSD, simply because they have thrown the bank at judd, and wont be able to spend much on an established player in terms of their salary cap .... i'm sure they'd prefer a $40k draftee given that 15-20% of their cap will be spent on one player.

    If you think that then you don't have much of an understanding of how the Carlton Football Club works. They will make way somehow for at least another player today and they'll find a reasonably big fish in the PSD.

    I hope that we can do as well and pick up a player or two today and offload a couple of unwanted players from the list as well. Hopefully, there will also be something for us in the PSD.

    I think you're spot on. Carlton aren't adverse to creative accountancy.

    At the end of his interview on SEN last evening CAC said that we had nothing more on our plate; if I remember correctly his exact words were 'no more irons in the fire'.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
