Firstly, Dean Bailey is no fool. He knows our list is a pile of [censored] and he will do whatever he can to rectify it.

Secondly, I believe that opposition clubs see Melbourne as a burial yard for talented kids. We have failed to turn any of our draft picks over the last 10 years into superstars.

Coaches from other clubs will make plays for guys like Davey, Rivers, Bate, Jones, Moloney, Sylvia etc.. with the thinking that they will blossom in a new environment.

As I said, Bailey is no fool so he wont just accept any trash for out talented players. But I do believe he will pull the trigger on a few trades next week and we will come out on top.

Are you suggesting Sylvia is trade bait?

Hell no.

I am just saying that a lot of other clubs will be trying to get him from us.

I imagine that Bailey will stick to his guns much like Al Clarkson and continue with his overall plan to develop the young players on this list.

Hawthorn were terrible a few years ago and they've got many of the same players today.

MFC will make some moves but i think this year they will be subtle tweaks to the list, not a major overhaul.

I will guarentee you Melbourne will be the least active in trade week with only two possible deals

Bentley to us

And Armitage to us for pick 19. they're the two i know of, and the club knows it wants to keep picks and not get recycled players if they are over 23. and most clubs won't be getting rid of any young under 23 talent.

The least active with 2 deals? A lot of teams don't even make 1 trade in a standard trade week, let alone one where teams are reticent to deal draft picks.

But yes, i'd be surprised if we are involved in even that many trades.

Have to be crazy to give up pick 19 for either of them IMO.

Why Armitage was 9th overall pick in the 06 draft, is only 20 and looks the goods.

That would be a good deal for us.

I would turn this around the other way by saying why would the saints consider giving up armitage for pick 19 esp if he is looking the goods? Why would he be traded and why is he what we are looking for (i have not watched a lot of saints games this year).

Don't see how he would improve our list. He's still working on his pace and skills/vision. Sounds similar to a bald headed youngster i know and he's streets ahead.

Jones, Davey & Sylvia will be the ones as listed by Ym that will field any offers from rival clubs that could raise any eyebrows. Or cause Melbfc to jump at.

The likes of Rivers and Moloney represent risks with their respective injuries and rehabilitation.

last i checked. armitage was ahead of eddie at the saints mate

Eddy has had more stats in less game this year. But anyway iam not going to go into stats.

I have a couple of St Kilda mates who dont like him for his laziness as well. Apparently his work ethic isnt great.

WHo knows, that all may change if Bailey takes the reigns.

Well, I hope you at least can get used to Armitage, because right now, its looking quite likely..

As for us being active in trade week, no, we wont be overly active, as a whole this trade week will be high in number of deals, but the dees will only be looking at a couple of small deals at this stage.. as topping up is not an option, and with the GC on the way, none of our trade bait will land a decent pick..

Armitage to us for pick 19? Your dreaming :wacko: The saints took him with pick 8 and he showed a lot of improvement throughout the year and is going to be a great player . won't happen.

don't we all. it's a shame though, i reckon the deals that we've been negotiating behind closed doors won't go ahead cos we're soft . the real thing will be if we do, it means more people will get delisted! cos theres still a heap of deadwood on the list

Show me where I suggested Nathan Jones as trade bait?

Please never post again.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
