Were you guys happy with what you did with the 2 1st round picks for Lever? '17 and '18, you got Fogarty didn't you? serviceable?We really did made it out like bandits there.
One of the very few times we won a trade.
what's your take? you'd have more confidence it was a recruitment for leadership if we didn't get burgess last year, a bizarre additionThis is a horrible take
B, if it get rid of Murphy on field and his leadership off field otherwise meh.This trade gets a D from me. We have traded in a 29-year-old who will play in a peripheral position that we should be using to develop young players. If the plan is to replace Murphy with ABN, that D would become a C- but we know this will not happen given how fixated Nicks and his band of losers are on 0 goals Murph.
FAIL
No, we wasted those picks on Gibbs and McHenry.Were you guys happy with what you did with the 2 1st round picks for Lever? '17 and '18, you got Fogarty didn't you? serviceable?
Burgess looks more bizarre now than it did a year ago, because heās turned out to be further below AFL standard than weād thoughtwhat's your take? you'd have more confidence it was a recruitment for leadership if we didn't get burgess last year, a bizarre addition
seems most likely we have loads of spare cap space and this is the best we can attract and they'll take anything to try to get up the ladder asap rather than address that midfield properly
We used the Charlie Cameron pick on FogWere you guys happy with what you did with the 2 1st round picks for Lever? '17 and '18, you got Fogarty didn't you? serviceable?
Didn't Burgess came with the trade of 2nd rounders to get GCS 1st rounder since he was still contracted????Burgess looks more bizarre now than it did a year ago, because heās turned out to be further below AFL standard than weād thought
Re ANB, if you read down a couple of posts youād see my take. Realistically he wouldnāt be on much money so this can only be a good thing, we need actual quality players in his age bracket
Yeah he did. The trade itself was a good idea, we just identified Burgess himself incorrectly as capable depthDidn't Burgess came with the trade of 2nd rounders to get GCS 1st rounder since he was still contracted????
yeah sorry saw that after I posted, I think a little harsh to say a horrible take he'd want to come very cheap!Burgess looks more bizarre now than it did a year ago, because heās turned out to be further below AFL standard than weād thought

I think now heās nominated us specifically, heāll be cheaper than if he was fine with going to Portyeah sorry saw that after I posted, I think a little harsh to say a horrible take he'd want to come very cheap!
Depends what our list situation is.I think now heās nominated us specifically, heāll be cheaper than if he was fine with going to Port
Maybe 42 + an F3 gets us a pick in the 30ās that we can use
I doubt Borlase is upgraded, he can stay a rookie for another two yearsDepends what our list situation is.
Is Keane leaving?
Do we have space for 2 picks, Welsh and Borlase?
Is Borlase being upgraded?
I canāt work out where we actually stand.
The more I think about this, the less enthused I am.
One of the club's all time worst decisions.No, we wasted those picks on Gibbs and McHenry.
Might have holidays booked for next September.Does he want to play for Adelaide, or does he just not want to play for Melbourne and we were around to support that?
Hope im wrong but we will be nowhere near finals in 2025. 1 new player won't help.I am 100% the opposite.
In 2024 we came 15th. Lachlan Murphy played 17 games. Chayce Jones 16. Sam Berry 18. Ned McHenry 10. James Borlase 10. Will Hamill 7.
This guy was top 10 in Melbournes B&F in their premiership year and will automatically make us better.
The way the winds are blowing it appears he has some family reasons for wanting to come home and Melbourne aren't going to play hard ball. He should be coming cheaply, will instantly upgrade our best 22 and will be one of 5 players on our list to play in a finals win (Walker, Crouch, Smith, Laird).
This is the perfect no risk - all upside situation. It's not a glamorous trade - but could wind up being extremely beneficial to us making the finals in 2025.
1 new senior coach will tbough!Hope im wrong but we will be nowhere near finals in 2025. 1 new player won't help.

We should be.
Over the past two years we have played in 14 games that were decided by 10 points or less.
We won 3 of them.
If we had an in form ANB playing over Murphy these past two seasons - I betcha we win more than 3 of those 14 games.
Losing close games is a cultural and coaching issue, not a personnel issues.
We had the players in many of those games to win
Huh? How can having bad personnel not correlate to playing bad footy?
But Murphy is a known non-performer in close games and goes missing in the 4th quarter. Replace him with a guy like ABN who is a big game performer (look at his finals record) and we win more than 3 of those games.
