I just mentioned the same thing in one of the Trade Rumour threads TGP......

And I found it more than a little amusing!!!

    Good.

    Anyone who thinks Davey should be traded has rocks in their head. If he has a consistent and injury free year, he'll be a top 50 player in the AFL next year...something we don't have.

    Well, thank f*#$ for that! Now maybe all the clowns who are saying trade Davey and ???? for pick ?? will get over it and realise we actually live in a sane world.

    Fantastic news! If we are to trade any of our small forwards it should be Wonna, no way should they be trading Davey or Maric.

    If there was actually a decent trade for him you would have to have bigger rocks not to trade him. Why isnt he consistent? I am not sure why you find him an untouchable. He has some good skills but has known limitations. He has yet to get anywhere near a Top 50 player in the AFL and certainly wont get there with his inability to play in the midfield.

    He'll pull us a better deal now why he has some value then he will in 2 years time when he's playing Casey reserves.

    A 4th or 5th round pick versus none at all. He has nothing special that Clubs would trade for as opposed to getting a similar player with a 50+ draft pick or a rookie.

    I wish YM would [censored] off.

    What exactly does he bring to this forum other than stupid lies and negativity.

    I think you are judging Wona a little harsh. He was a first year rookie, who was overweight and not used to the level of fitness required. Yet he still played the bulk of the year in the seniors and kicked goals in an injury plagued team and a crap forward line. How would he have gone in the pocket for the Dogs, Hawks, Saints or Cats, much better I think.

    He will now have the benefit of a full pre season to get fitter, lose some puppy fat and go into a second season with experience as a senior player. He is worth more than a 50+ pick but who cares as he won't be swapped. I love watching him and look forward to seeing him in the red and blue again this year.

    The other option is to simply ignore his posts, thus denying him the opportunity to 'get his rocks off'.

    I think he did very well and he has a challenge ahead next year because he wont fly under the radar of oppositions.

    However, at this point and with the question marks about what he might achieve in 2009, I dont think there is any significant trade value with other Clubs.

    He may have done better with a top team than MFC this year but conversely unless they were in MFC's situation he may not have been given the opportunity this year.

    Wona was coming from a long way back. His season was outstanding. A top 10 finish for a bloke who was effectively drafted with pick 100, and with very little ball coming into the forward 50.

    He is a footballer first, athlete second. Has a very clever head on his shoulders, how he can cop anything but praise on this forum is beyond me.

    He almost won the goal kicking award, albeit with about 25 but please leave the wona alone. One of the few gems of this year.

    yeah i dont think anyone actually paid any attention or gave any credit to Yze Magic when he suggested that trade haha we all know what hes like!

    Seriously, what's with bagging Wonaeamirri?

    Rookie listed, first year player, kicks a bunch of goals, has a couple of really good games, fades out a bit towards the end of the year.

    Sounds fine to me. You gotta find a bit worse than that before you can legitimately toss out a teenager.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
