Paying Phillips $600K?? Who has been in charge of their cap and list management, a 5 year old? I’ve an idea how we can get more players in - just back end all contracts! I see no issues for 2-3 years. What could go wrong??

Sounds like Rohan will be leaving the Cats judging by the article in the Sun. I wonder how much the off the field stuff played a part in their GF loss? can see him ending up at GC

Don’t know Merretts game well but isn’t he an inside mid only? With good skills. He would add to our list of players wanting minutes on the ball. id prefer Whitfield or Kelly to play on the outside

Feel for anyone in Europe right now. Take care Bing

Can’t help but think this is the final piece of the premiership puzzle

you beaut! ;-) guess we need 43 (rather than 53) for a trade?

In summary: Essendon want ALLLLLLL the players

Coaching/Development role or as more a talent scout?

I will never let that organisation off the hook just because the staff were suspended/sacked. It was the most disgraceful lack of care for players in the history of the AFL. Testing random Unapproved drugs on their players having no idea what they might do. This is endemic to the club due to its arrogance and expecting to win regardless of the consequences. Why does Daniher, Saad, Fantasia want to leave? Their culture is shot

going to the bombers for their professional conduct? thats the funniest thing I've heard all day! he better check what meds the PE staff give him

Why TF would Dunkley want to go to the cheats?! must be money or a falling out with the Dags

they have drafted so poorly that they had very few A graders in the team so plenty of cash to spend on trade-ins

GWS looking pretty desperate here. Hogan is done, hopefully he can get his life back on track but the chances are things will go from bad to worse at GWS.

Fantasia’s main asset is his pace and has soft tissue issues. And desperately wants to leave the bombers pick in the 50’s would be about right

I can’t Fanta-Seea that happening

Day 1 of Trade week and Shaun McKernan's thread is at the top. oh dear a nothing trade really, if he comes, would likely/hopefully not get a game. will mean the end for M Brown though?

Well done MFC. Got one of the best big fwds in the game to sign with us. And with a minimum amount of fuss He could have a massive impact on our team and how we set up. 200cms is huge, and LJ is probably 200cms by now too. Those two will cause some headaches for the opposition!

Good luck Jesse

We should be looking at each list and through the second tier for a 22-25yo who can be Maxes back up. Hopefully develop under him And maybe take his spot in 3 years. We have Jackson, Weed, Tomo and other talls that can step in if desperate. To recruit McKernan who is more a fwd than ruck doesn’t make sense to me. Also he is pretty average player.

Good lord

Saints just went from getting Crouch for free to having to trade. Ouch! pick 23 is harsh on the crows

From Tom Browne North Melbourne’s Ben Brown is reportedly set to announce his preferred trade destination, with Melbourne the landing spot. A report from Channel 7’s Tom Browne indicates Brown will name the Demons as his future home after a nightmare 2020 season with the Kangaroos. “Trade update. I expect Ben Brown will nominate and end up at Melbourne,” Browne wrote.

Pick 18 for Brown and Polec? I could be OK with that ? seriously though, we don't need Polec's wages and I don't rate him. I'd prefer we do the second rounder for Brown as a stand alone deal.

Pick 7 seems fair to me. He’d be on a big contract and has amazing talent. Watch him play 20 games next year. He just Didn’t want to play for the bombers. And I completely understand that

Averaged 9 disposals and 1.8 tackles this year. lazy
