..........would we rather lose him for nothing or try and get a pick around 40? have a think

Officially he will play his last game for MFC on Saturday. He has dubious future ahead of him in the AFL. So would a another club give pick 40 or prefer to get him in the PSD for nothing? I cant see them lining up to give up draft picks for White in the last tainted draft before GC comes in.

The simple reality is that after Sunday's game neither player has any real effective currency to Melbourne. They can walk into the PSD..and do whatever they like and good luck to both of them. It'll be totaly up to teh football Gods.and we were never going to get anything in return as they cease to be ours. They can do as they please. Its not worth any paper to try to get anything..

we just move on..as simple as that

The only way we'll get anything for White (or Yze if he decides to play on) is if multiple clubs want them. If Carlton and Sydney both wanted Jeff White, Sydney would have to offer something for him or else they'd just lose him to Carlton (who will have a better PSD pick than them). This would cause the Blues to consider offering something better than the Swans are. At least, that's how I understand it.

Yze wore 44 as Shaun Smith Took that HUGE Grab at the Gabba

Correct. 1995.

Why would we get anything for White when we have already said we don't want him?

:wacko: That will come down to clubs like Carlton and Sydney - if they require his services. If Sydney want him they will have to offer a draft pick. Because Carlton will have a pick before Sydney in the PSD.

Correct. See above.

Incorrect - you cant trade delisted players. Both have indicated they will nominate for the draft!

They are still on our list atm, and will be during trade week.

Cast your mind back less than a year to a similar circumstance with King and others at Geelong.

Right. It's the same deal with Damien Peverill. If a couple of clubs happen to want to pick him up for a year or two, Essendon could still get something for him.

On the MFC website you can leave a message for Ooze and Whitey, which will go into a book to be presented to them on Sunday. A brilliant idea, assuming one of CC's.

No. Only if they do not get a trade completed- they will nominate for the draft. Still on our list come trade time.

Roger that!

Dear dear, I stand corrected. The MFC can token trade to try and find then a home a la Peter Walsh and Stephen King. Now that every AFL club knows they will not be on the list, they are hardly going to offer anything other than circa pick 95 (which we would not use) when they can pick them up for nowt in the PSD!

Ie they have zero trade value.

Having said that - best of luck to both of them!

Hey, it's the internet. Everyone reserves the right to nitpick.

Congratulations to both Yze and White on long and distinguished careers at the MFC. Reading the tribute to Ooze on the MFC website just now, you forget how good a player he was.

An interesting aside, with the retirements of these two, it leaves just one All-Australian representative (one 1 occasion) on our list for next year in Junior. Would any other club boast such a desolate figure?

Congratulations to Both Jeff and Adem on wonderful careers at the Demons......

They were and will always will be legends of our club and have performed admirably for the club over so many years.

I wish them all the best for the future at the same time as thanking them for their past.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
