OK - think its a mistake on the website - it clearly says AEDT, but a 7:10pm starting time for the Eastern audience would make sense.

Can someone convince me that this game doesn't start in 15 minutes? AFL website says 5:40 AEDT

He doesn't know who will be coaching Melbourne in 2015. He doesn't know who will be CEO'ing Melbourne in 2015. He doesn't know if the mass of on and off-field changes will make a difference, or is yet another false dawn. He'd be silly not to put things off. But i reckon he is gone anyway.

Well the best 22 part may have been a bit strong since i haven't seen him in how many years, and as mentioned, he was a bit of a liability. But if he was somehow reformed (a big if) he wouldn't be competing with any of those four for a spot. He'd slot in to the forward line, where we could certainly use a bit of flair.

Which part?

Carl Peterson is a talent. If his head is in the right place (it wasn't when he was delisted by the Hawks), he'd easily be in our best 22.

peter ryan ‏@AFL_petryan 1h Neville Jetta will keep training @melbournefc through this exchange period Sounds like he is a chance for our rookie list.

I don't agree that its a scattergun approach at all, but performing genuinely better on the field is the best form of rebuttal

I liked it better when we weren't giving up pick 20 as well

I think we can relax. Even the person who wrote the article doesn't think it will happen Emma Quayle ‏@emmasq 25m GWS keen on Melbourne's pick 2, for Buntine, Bugg & pick 9. Can't see Dees doing it, but interesting offer.

That Myers, Kommer and Zakarakis wanted out because of the drug stuff. The latter got talked into staying. The 'wants more midfield time' just paints Essendon in a better light.

If the information that i posted earlier in this thread is correct, they'll trade him. They are just trying to play hardball.

Melbourne into Dom Tyson according to Greg Denham

Greg Denham this morning also mentioned we were shopping around Rohan Bail along with these two. I don't think we'll have to hire extra staff to handle the influx of interested parties.

Call me Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal. I'd never thought I'd agree to trade him, but when someone offers you a million dollars, you take it!

Would do this in a heartbeat (but don't believe it for a second)

I'm not a big fan of the succession plan, but I think its better than our process of appointing our last two senior coaches, even without taking into account the Paul Roos factor.

Sam Landsberger ‏@SamLandsberger 2m Talk that the Dees would love to downgrade pick 2 for a quality mid and a pick which could still see them snag Kade Kolodjashnij. Unlikely.

Maybe. But hacks get traded too!

Apparently Kane Lucas being shopped around, although doesn't want to leave. A couple of clubs including us and one of the WA clubs expressed some interest (no way would he get into Freo's midfield).

Greg Denham on SEN this morning restated that Shiel asked to be traded to Victoria, but GWS were firm about keeping him. Its nothing new, but it still gives me a glimmer of hope.

Brisbane Lions ‏@brisbanelions 4m The Club can advise that it has NOT entertained, or entered into, any trade discussions surrounding Vice-Captain @rockwiz38

C'mon AFL. Make it a 2nd round after our pick. You owe us after shafting us with no priority pick.

Josh Mahoney on trade radio sometime this arvo

Someone from Melbourne will be on Trade Radio tomorrow, so we'll get some more info then
