This has probably been written elsewhere but does anyone know if Melbourne can and or will put Jeff White and Adem Yze on the trade table? While Yze's undoubtedly finished, even if we gave Jeff away for pick 96 or something a la the Steven King trade of last year isn't that something? It looks after White and we're making a gain (albeit limited).

Both will be delisted, as announced (tho' actual delisting is not til Nov 14 with List Lodgement). So they will go into the PSD. UNLESS more than 1 club is interested, and approaches MFC to do a trade so that he doesn't go to the PSD. (Depending on the club, they may have an eye on another player in PSD, so that would encourage a trade for White, or Yze for that matter.)

The PSD is looking more and more interesting by the day - gotta wait til Dec 16 tho'. :mellow:

Whatever happens, this won't have any bearing on the MFC. By trading Steven King, Geelong was able to get rid of a contracted player that they wanted off the books, without delisting him. The fact that they got a pick they were never going to use was inconsequential, as they wanted the cap relief. We're in a situation where even if half the ruckmen in the comp suddenly came down with rabies and Jeff White was thrust into high demand, we're not going to gain a pick we'll actually use. If they were contracted, you'd take whatever pick you could get for them.

If it's just a paper gain - ie. a pick that we're never going to realise (use) - then it's not really 'something' for us, no.

However, I'm not opposed to us looking after our players a la King.

Cast your mind back a few years and we did a deal with Port for negligible benefit that gave Walsh a gig in his home state.

The prospect of trading White for what's essentially nothing has been mentioned by others previously (including me).

It seems unlikely this will happen though, as there seems to be little interest in White (and nothing for Yze).

White hopeful career can continue

Now am I the only one who's starting to think this sounds a bit sad?

"The 31-year-old says that while no AFL clubs have spoken to him about playing next year, he still had a small hope that he would be picked up in the national or pre-season draft"

Now I love the guy for what he did for a club for such a long period, but, well, I'm not too sure what to say

Hasnt Jeff White been picked up by an SANFl side. Possibly Glenelg?????

I cant confirm this, a mate was telling me that he read an article, but I never got a chance to ask where.

Considering he wants to base himself on the Gold Coast after AFL, that sounds odd.

I think Peter Street is being courted by some SANFL teams - possible your friend got them mixed up?

Does seem a bit odd, but i've heard the same rumour. Only thing that the SANFL would seem to offer is the largest salary cap outside of the AFL, but even then, the whole thing per club would be less then what he was on this year

Yes, and he's currently based at the Gold Coast at present, maintaining his strength and fitness. Which just adds to it sounding odd. He should give Vossy a call. I wish him all the best.

White is currently considering signing on with the Redland FC (Bomers affiliate) in QLD.

Aparently his brother plays for them as well..

Hopefully Vossy can pick him up. If only the GC team came in next year.

    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
