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.

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.

I imagine today Craig Cameron will be winding things up and having a lunch-time beer. In modern day trading terms we've been very busy, can't see us being part of any further trades.

We've got picks 4, 14 and 21 now, a very good result.

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'.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
