Alwyn Davey is FRIKIN AWESOME.

would love to get him.

Not much help on the sidelines.

It still has me stuffed why people think Alwyn is better than Aaron?!?!?! Alwyn has done nowhere near enough to be rated as highly as some people rate him!

Aaron doesn't get the respect he deserves from some people... The kid has suffered some terrible luck with injuries over the last few years, but on what we have seen, I rate Aaron well above his brother ATM

Indeed.

I would take both of them in the same side any day of the week (preferably Saturday) But I think Aaron doesn't get the respect he deserves from some people... The kid has suffered some terrible luck with injuries over the last few years, but on what we have seen, I rate Aaron well above his brother ATM

I'll upset the nuffies on here, but I rate Alwyn better. He's yet to play 20 games, but has already shown more in the midfield and is genuinely tougher. I'm yet to see Aaron stand up in a big game. Perhaps friday night is his chance.

That said, I don't rate either terribly highly just yet, but Alwyn has decent upside.

Yze.

Yze is contracted for 2009 and will see out his contract even if he plays all year at Casey.

Alwyn Davey might have done some flash things at Essendon, but doesn't play enough for me to know if he would be any good for Melbourne.

I heard that around seven players will be gone.

My source? CC, via a daily paper.

Concur with that.

Yze is contracted for 2009 and will see out his contract even if he plays all year at Casey.

Yze signed a 3 yr contract at the end of 2005. This is the last year of the contract.

Sylvia will not be traded - he still has a lot of upside. Not hard to guess who will be out at the end of the season.

Yze, Holland Neita, Carroll, White, Weetra, Bode and Jamar if you believe the rumors.

What would Jamar be worth given Jolly got pick 15? Based on Saturdays game i would say 18 - 25 in this draft picks are gold draft. Jamar is just startiung to reach his potential and we should play hard ball. May be a three way deal D's - cARL - eSS.

I'd love to have Alwyn at the club, and i'd love to give Jamar to Carltank.

But i won't hold my breath just yet- unlike some, i find it really difficult to get into any of this stuff without at least some real substance (of which there never is!). I'll wait at least a few more weeks, and if the Alwyn rumour keeps circulating come seasons end, then i'll get right behind it!

Anything between pick 18-25 would be absolutely awesome for Jamar, but realistically i can't see him getting us any better than pick 30, unless he continues his current purple patch til seasons end. Even then, a pick in the 30's or better, should we acquire Warnock via trade or PSD, would be a fantastic result for the club IMO.

Interesting to know that Alwyn hasnt signed a new contract this late in the year, especially after his season ended so early in the year, Usually clubs will jump in and sure up a players future when there is a season ending injury, for the players piece of mind if anything. So it makes the most sense that he has delayed contract talks for some reason.

Maybe but we 'gotta talk em up'. The old self fulfilling prophecy rule here. Some clubs are great at overselling duds and Jamar at minimum holds his own. Jamar IMO still has upside as he is showing at the moment. He would be good in a side with a gun midfield as it is not as crucial he gets the tap. More important to use muscle and get his hands dirty when the ball hits the turf - Jamar is good at that.

Against Ess he won a lot of taps. In fact we lost momentum when he went off the ball. I thought he was good.

Imagine Davey, Warnock and 3 picks inside the top 20. [censored].

Of which one pick is whoever-the-bloody-hell-we-want

I would take Alweyn in the PSD before Warnock. Carroll must be sacked he got belted by Ackland that's disgraceful even for a dud like Carroll.

I watched the Game Saturday with a well known Player Manager who told me that according to those in the industry and by the enquiries on what players are available 8 players will be gone by the cut off in October we already know tof 3 players that will retire Neitz Holland Yze and likely White.

Carlton are very keen on Jamar (the Riley connection ) they are desperate for a ruckman as Kruezer is not ready Warnock is almost certain to play with us next season along with Alwyn Davey who wants out at Essendon ,apparently a personality clash with Knights and there will be 2 delistings and 2 Player swaps Collingwood are also very keen to trade.

Last year at the same game info given to me by this person that turned out correct .

He also told me that Greg Hutchison will be ipart of the coaching staff with the Gold Coast they were very impressed with his interview.

Any thoughts on which players would be likely to go.

What about Jamar and Bruce to Carlton for their first pick 7?ish

Not a chance in hell. Carlton would LOL at us if we dished that up. A rising 30-year-old and an unproven ruckman for a top 10 pick just prior to the draft concessions for GC17 - won't happen.

I'm very keen on sticking with the Jamar/PJ combo. Whilst they have their flaws, I think they've performed very well over the past 6 weeks and I'm not convinced that R. Warnock is the answer.

Alwyn would be a nice inclusion, but he is injury-prone and I wouldn't want to give up too much for him.

Wouldn't trade Jamar for less than Carltank's 2nd round pick, 25 or so, Meesen went in the 30's. Wouldn't give up much for Alwyn either. We need to be trading for high draft picks, not trading them away.

Could give pick 17+Jamar for the Blues' pick 6 or so but that's probably not enough

That's alot closer than some of the deals been touted IMO by posters. If that landed on the table, MFC should take pick 6. That would leave 1,6,18,..,..,... . But because of GC17 Carlton might not budge and keep 6 or 7 or whatever it is.

Collingwood is keen to trade - according to one of the poster's. J.Fraser struggling.

The Pies might now be trying to offload Shaw and/or Didak given they've just released a new press release on 'On The Couch' stating that

Didak was in the car with Shaw, and both of them lied about his presence to the club and police.. Todays sanctions have been thrown out, and new ones applied tomorrow,

and yet another no doubt fiery press conference from the Lexus Centre which should make for compulsive listening!

Would we want Josh Fraser at Melbourne? Personally i wouldn't want him.

He's too old (27?) for our current youth policy and would command a higher pick than we'd be willing to pay being a former #1 draft pick (?). Awfully overrated IMO, he was very very lucky to play the All-Star's match this year. He's not hard enough at the contest, injury-prone, is pretty lean for a big man and given his body-type and age, will always be, and isnt good enough in a KP to play there full-time. Almost a clone of Jeff White, but without the ruck skills and leap White once had.

i would be devestated if we lost jamar

Hmmm..... very interesting times ahead.

Despite all the recent happenings re: Shaw, and Didak's shady history off-field, both are guns, and i'd love to have either/both of them at Melbourne. Especially if we can get em for a bargain-basement price given their indiscretions.

Welcome to Demonland... great start!

i would be devestated if we lost jamar

lol, stepping in dog krap is devastating, losing Jamar is not

especially for 8-11 spots upgrade in what is reportedly an excellent early draft

Watts + about the 3rd or 4th best midfielder thanks

no to ANY collingwood player that could be up for trade

warnock i think will be the only currently listed player to end up melbourne this year

maybe al davey, but highly unlikely
