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.

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.

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.

Wonna will pull us a great deal wont he? :lol:

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 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.

I wish YM would [censored] off. .............

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.

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
