TRADING KEY TO STAYING UP TOP

Hawthorn will trade aggressively in coming weeks as it tries to create an era of domination. The Hawks' bid to become bulletproof will start at a list-management meeting this morning.

List manager Chris Pelchen will meet coach Alastair Clarkson in preparation for Wednesday's draft camp, as the club prepares to mount a bid for an experienced key defender.

Hawthorn has the salary-cap room, the inclination and the potential trade bait to be a key player in the October 6-10 talks, and is determined to be aggressive in the market.

trade carroll for pick 81. then use pick 81 as a pass!

No brainer, straight swap Boyle for Carroll.

Carroll would flourish in the Hawthorn defence while we probably need someone to take a key forward spot until Jack Watts (or which ever young KPP we draft) is ready.

A minor win win for both clubs.

I doubt that they'd want our garbage in Carroll.

I'd trade Warnock, but they're after an experienced defender.

If they were prepared to offer Thorp and a 2nd/3rd pick for Rivers, I'd seriously consider it.

would you consider rivers for pick 16?

im not sure i would. i wonder what they would pay for him. he is only about to turn 24.

for the record warnock is 24 and 5 months, and carrol is nearly 28.

I'm more interested in trying to trade for Mitch Thorp. Arrogant sunofabitch but he can seriously play.

Probably not. Even in a strong draft, pick 16 could be hit or miss. I'd rather see us do a trade of players with Hawthorn. How about Jarryd Morton and Simon Taylor for Rivers?

I know everyone says that you draft the best available, but in this year's draft and trading, we should address our needs, ie; kp forwards, ruckmen and line-breaking mids.

May as well give Carroll to Hawthorn.

While it would be practically giving him to them I agree, I just feel Melbourne need to get him out of the club and seeing as he's contracted this may be the only way. Been involved in one to many off field incidents for my liking.

If anyone else mentions that hack Tim Boyle I will find them and kill them.

Tim Boyle, Tim Boyle, Tim Boyle.

Like to see you try.

You seriously should never be allowed back on. That is a disgraceful not to mention illegal comment.

MODS????

Bit extreme there YM :P How about this instead. To anyone who bothers mentioning Boyle again, read this post I made a little over a month ago. If you bring him up again, I'll just keep posting it, because I'm sick of hearing that people actually want to see this dud wearing the red and blue. Same thing goes for Murphy at Freo. DUD.

Let me put this in perspective for everyone with a few facts that should end this thread any ridiculous notion we should bother with this dud.

Boyle will be 25 in Rnd 1 2009.

He is a (soon to be) 25 year old who has only managed 31 games since he was drafted in 2002.

He has managed 39 goals that 6 years. In a Hawthorn side that until recently was very weak, he still couldnt crack a game.

He has managed 6 games this year for 6 goals in a Hawthorn team, that while Buddy conscious, sends the ball forward more than anyone (bar Geelong).

He averages less than 1 tackle a game. In a team where we desperately need defensive pressure, he has none.

So in essence, he is a Brad Miller, minus aggression, a shred of talent, somehow kicks LESS goals (never thought it were possible) and has the work ethic of a Mexican janitor.

If anything, I'd trade a pick NOT to have him on our list. He is a dud.

I hope you all realise how stupid it is to even bother talking about this guy.

Nice to see that the average IQ of Demonland is still being dragged down by a few of the unwashed.

    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

    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.
