In gaining these selections, the Demons handed the Suns picks No.6, No.29 and a future first round draft selection. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2015-10-21/dees-secure-picks-no3-and-no10 How is it clearly incorrect? Edit: I may be wrong but I have not read anything that states that the future trades must be the first round selection.

Nash most are missing what we have offered for next year. A 1st round pick That is not necessarily our original 1st round pick. If we finished last we could swap pick 1 for pick 4 & pick 18 with 18 being used for GC

Note; A future 1st round selection. I presume that could be pick 18 which we could trade for if we don't earn it. Well done Mahoney and the MFC

I think the whole point of a trade period is to swap out players and to bring in players that are better suited to the sides needs. If sides come away from the trade period with huge wins that means that others have had huge losses. The concept of fair trade allows for win win. Sometimes you may get a bargain. So has our list improved? I would argue it is not worse and it has a harder edge, that may have been the aim, so that is a win. We have not made any clanger trades IMO and we still have good draft picks. No big fish, OK maybe next year, maybe never.

Everyone has gone quiet on the details.

Come on robbo I have read that in two or three other places. You do not own the idea. It is possible for multiple people to come up with the same idea and to be capable of independent thought.

Is it Christian Doppler?

Plough a Melbourne supporter, go figure. Still love Grinters adjustments.

The players that have left the club go belly up and cop a plea.

We are still pushing for a GC deal with Howe. Edit: According to trade radio.

Half of them get 12 months.

10.38am: HAWKS COACH NOT EXPECTING CARLISLE TRADE After Hawthorn made a remarkable bid to land to Jake Carlisle after several days of fruitless talks between Essendon and St Kilda, the key position player's future continues to remain up in the air. While the Bombers said on Thursday afternoon they were committed to the Hawks' offer if they could get it over the line, four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson isn't expecting to have Carlisle on his books in 2016. Clarkson, who - as one of three of Australia's coaches - announced the International Rules squad on Friday, said he still expected Carlisle to get to the Saints. Edit:- WTF is going on?

I am sure plans B C D E F all exist. One of the more important aspects in battle planning is don't tell the media or your opponent what your plans are. Would anyone here feel better if Mahoney came out before trade week and told everyone what our plans really were? Imagine playing cards and telling your opponents what you wanted to do and what cards you had, seriously. No news is good news.

You both could be wrong.

Yes

If he goes to the ND, what pick would Collingwood use on him? They won't use 7 26? Would we accept 26 for him? If so do a deal and try to get steak knives. Would he get to 26? That is the question Collingwood would be asking themselves.

4.35pm: LEUENBERGER LANDS AT ESSENDON The Brisbane Lions haven't stood in the way of Matthew Leuenberger's move to Tullamarine, despite their disappointment with pick 39 as compensation for the restricted free agent. Leuenberger has joined the Dons on a three-year deal.

So we let him go to the PSD with nod and a wink to Carltank. Enjoy Carlton Jeremy.

NAB Trade Radio @traderadio We’ve just spoken off-air to Jeremy Howe’s manager Ben Niall, who confirmed he has agreed to move to the Pies. Buckley relationship the key 3:48 PM - 15 Oct 2015 How can they do this when no deal has been done with MFC?

I went back to 2009 the year that Melksham was drafted. I would rather a proven average player at pick 25 than a lucky dip 3 year wait for maybe a player.

Collingwood need to deal with us, what have they got to offer?

3:41pm: Breaking News Michael Gleeson reports that Melbourne forward Jeremy Howe has accepted an offer to join Collingwood. Howe has opted for the Pies over North Melbourne and Gold Coast, even though their offer is slightly less. It is understood the offer from Collingwood - which was only received on Thursday - is a three-year deal.

We have not accepted any deal from Collingwood, they need to jump through hoops.

After he wins a Bluey or tackles harder and more often than Viney.
