Quite possibly one of the worst posts i have ever read!!!

Firstly you have us getting Wonamerri back from his trade to Brisbane. It will be tough for both us and Freo to have pick 35 and collingwood and us pick 17. The biggest laugh of all in this is the fact Freo might allow Warnock to go through to the PSD :lol:

Not quite if you read properly. Firstly Melbourne will trade picks 17 to Collingwood and 35 to Fremantle. Also Carroll to be traded to Fremantle and Wonamerri to Brisbane. In return for Melbourne receive draft pick 9 from Collingwood and R. Warnock goes to us in the pre-season draft.

No way should we get rid of Rivers, when he's up and going he's one of the best defenders if not the best defender in the comp!

Regardless of the ridiculous trade that you suggested.... The above comment is one of the biggest loads of crap I have ever heard! I rate Rivers as a handy "intelligent" type defender.... But to suggest that he may be the best defender in the comp?!?!?! :D :D :D

Honestly do believe that Rivers when playing fully fit is one of the best defenders in the comp. Can't remember the last time his opponent beat him in a match up throughout a game. Maybe Riewoldt when Rivers was playing on him at full back in his rising star award season of 2004 when Nick kicked 9. But even then his first 4 came in the first quarter against Nicholson.

When fully fit, he is one of the better defenders in the league.... Absolutely!

Possibly the best in the league?? Absolutely NOT!

Fully fit ever again??? The answer to that is more ????????

Aaron Davey to Essendon for Brent Stanton and pick 23

Matthew Warnock and pick 19 to Carlton for Brad Fisher and pick 24

I like the Warnock trade but not the Davey trade.

No and No for me.

Brent Stanton is not quick enough IMO and is just an average-good midfielder, who can't kick both feet. We already have a smorgasboard of them.

Why oh why, would you take Brad Fisher? If Carlton supporters are frustrated with him, why would we take him? And lose a handy backman who is improving.

Stanton is quicker than anyone in our current midfield.

As for Fisher, we need more avenue to goals. Fisher is a good mark and kick, both mobile and tall. Can push up to half forward or play deep.

Yeah, and Russel Robertson doesn't have much time left.

Once he's gone we'll need another under-sized forward forced to play as a KPP

Would take the first one. I rate Stanton and he's shown he can not only get the ball but can kick goals from midfield. Have real doubts over Davey's ability to become a good midfielder, and his consistency.

Wouldn't touch the second though. Doesn't seem to be an upgrade and the defence is probably an area where the more stable we can make it, the better.

Agreed. Would take the first one in a flash but the bumbres must be high to do that. They've got a fleet of Aaron DAvey like players already and to give away their second pick and a solid maybe good up and comer in Stanton, good luck.

The second smells of trading for the sake of trading.

I would trade pick 19 for Robbie Gray. Bring him back home.

How about Daniel Kerr? Anyone reckon there would be anyway to trade for him and still hang on to pick 1? I'd imagine we'd have to kiss picks 17 & 19 goodbye and probably be looking at loosing CJ also. Probably no chance I'd imagine?

Daniel Bell -----------> Adelaide

Ken McGregor -------> Melbourne

No draft picks involved.

We get a handy player who can pinch hit up forward or down back, capable of kicking 30 goals in a season and can kick bags of 4 or 5 goals per game. Is contracted for 2009, so hopefully Adelaide can pay a bit of his salary. I doubt he'd be in Adelaide's future plans, but isn't overly old at 27.

Another advantage is that we don't give up a draft pick for Mc Gregor, so we're maintaining our youth policy while addressing our impotent forward line.

Terrible trade. No way.

What does McGregor offer us other than a mediocre player that fills a spot for a couple of years preventing a young player from getting AFL experience? We'll get less out of him than we would Bell

A stop-gap trade instead of a constructive one.

BPP where are you hearing these Daniel Bell back to adelaide rumours?

I just read your bigfooty thread

No rumours mate.

I just feel that it would be a beneficial trade to let Bell go back home. Had a poor season, so may need a change of environment while we get a draft pick or possibly a player.

A third round trade or a Greg Bentley would suffice.

So how do you address our forward line which was statistically the worst?

And as I mentioned previously, McGregor would not come at the expense of a draft pick, as we've traded a player (Bell) for him so we maintain our quota of draft picks. Plus Bell may need a fresh start, heck he was our whipping boy all year.

This from bigfooty trade/draft board:

According to someone on the Port board, Bailey is keen on Greg Bentley and might be headed to Melbourne (source is one of Bentleys SANFL teammates) so maybe a Bell-Bentley trade might be on the cards.

I have it on very good authority that your coach is very keen for bentley

I don't think getting an old player with only 2-3 years left in him is the answer, especially if he's not even that good, regardless of what we give up. We're much better off using our young players & draft picks beacuse they MIGHT develop and be handy in the future - McGregor will be gone.

& trades for the sake of trades are pointless.

I guess it just shows how little i rate McGregor as a player. He's not the answer.

No idea who Bentley is, don't think i've even heard of him til now. Sounds young though, so I'm open to it.

Bentley's played 21 games over 3 years. 187 cms. Played quite a few games in Port's good 2007 season. Last played in round 18 V's St Kilda when he jagged 21 touches and a goal.

If he's not in Adelaide's future plans, why would he be in ours?

He'll be retiring just as we start pushing for finals.

Pointless to pick him up IMO, but it'll never happen anyhow - refer Bailey's comments re: youth policy.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
