No, it's not massive for the Dogs, you're quite right. But it's a upgraded pick that can be worthwhile for them, they have already learnt much about Ray, they will see it significant for them in terms of the draft.

It was a chance to offload a player who was surplus to their needs. At pick 31 you really dont know what you are going to be trawling for.

I would suggest that the Ray deal is about "market" for him.

........ but Brisbane must know something if they were prepared to offload him for nothing.

They know something.......I think you got it in one. Without having to go any further....... . He does lack defensively and Vossy would be big on this.

it is very odd that warnock doesnt want to play with his brother so badly!!!!

i think there is something wrong there......... very very strange!!!!

if he cant get to carlton he still doesnt want melbourne!!!

is that not odd?

Has he come out and said "I dont want to play with my brother"? No.

He has said that he would prefer to play with football with Carlton. Its football not family.

What do you mean he cant get to Carlton?

At this stage he will nominate for the PSD on his expensive contract proposal and Carlton will be only party to deal with him.

I cant see MFC blowing PSD 1 on a player with a 4 year 400k contract who apparently steadfastly refuses to play for it.

Probably fought with brother Matthew over their Mecchano set when they were kids.

i think the thing here 'that is wrong' is you listening to media speculation

Wanrock has never been directly quoted as having said 'i won't go to MFC'

More than likely he told his manager this was his PREFERENCE and his manager is using all the tricks in the book to get his player what he wants most. As he is paid to do.

Exactly Robert Warnock has not said a word to the media.

It is all medisa speculating that he would rather go to a club like Carlton where he can link with Judd and Co.

However if the price he is asking is true then we cannot afford him.

So what else is going on?

There's only about 1 hour and 15 minutes until all the trades are finalised! What's going on with Brad Green? :huh:

Don't tell me the AFL Clubs have all stopped for a 1 hour lunch break?! :rolleyes:

C'mon Melbourne Football Club ....hurry up and get Brad Green signed or trade him! I don't wanna see him leaving in the PSD and we get NOTHING! :wacko:

Spot on Pants.

And HT raises good points about existing options we have.

I am no fan of Corrie who just does not work hard defensively and goes missing when the heats on. He may have played 20 games this year (and some were very ordinary) but Brisbane must know something if they were prepared to offload him for nothing.

The same thing would have been said about Medhurst and Leon Davis 2 seasons ago. Malthouse has obviously got confidence in his ability to change this in a player.

Apparently Cats and Bombers still in talks

If Warnock goes through to the PSD we 100000% should pick him up.

In any normal circumstances he's worth a first round pick, so it's essentially picking up an extra 1st rounder for FREE.

Just pay him 350k a season. If he turns into a champ ruckman it'll be worth it!!! our ruck stocks are terrible atm and he could be the fix it needs.

We'v got room in the cap, i'd rather pay out Carrol for 250k and spend 350k on a player that truely has a future!!!!

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
