Hell, I'm taking this quite seriously.

Maybe our approach is Naitanui at 1 and two tall forward prospects at 17 & 19?

Also willing to accept that this is Harvey throwing his own spanner in the works.

Harvey inherited a team that should have finishd in the 8 last year . ( Not only my opinion . but the opinion of plenty of people in the know . )

He is a very ordinary coach , coaching what is this year a very ordinary , vastly depleted list . He is grasping at straws and trying to upset the thinking of people . Take no notice of him . I believe we will finish above his pathetic rabble in 2009 anyway .

Could be a bit of [censored] for our tat in showing Warnock around. I wouldn't be gutted if we took NikNat but I'm very much in the Watts camp. I don't think you draft with the go-home factor in mind, but from the outside NikNat seems like a very good-natured, family-oriented kid and thus a strong go-home risk.

“That’s not a direct conversation that I’ve had with Melbourne but that’s what we hear at the moment.”

Harvey making that claim holds about as much weight as YM posting it.

This is the same man who looked like a rabbit in the headlights on 'The Couch'. Who couldn't state what Fremantle stood for, and who tried to deflect blame for the mature aged players Freo took in recent drafts on Chris Connolly, who had well and truly moved on before Mark Johnson was drafted. His hard line and thought processes worked wonderfully well in the trade period. Where is that first round pick for warnock again??.........."Josh Carr is a leader of our football club, we need compensation" Ha, ha, ha freo screwed again.

Harvey is possibly the most competent assistant coach of the last ten years, and the most incompetent senior coach for the same period.

This guy tries everything to deflect responsibility and attention from himself and his club, who don't have a terrific track record come draft time, and indeed the trade period.

Disgraceful article, Harvey was misquoted which completely changed the meaning of his statement. What he said was something like, "It's not that Melbourne has gone cold on watts, it's just I hear they're impressed with Naitanui."

Basically it's a 'nothing to see here, move along' type situation.

I have been saying ever since that interview that he will not see out 2009. Really who cares what he thinks or that joke club from WA think. Really they are a perfect match. On the flip side I could not be happier about how bailey held himself thus far

Yep, nup, your all right. Feeling a little exposed yesterday afternoon. Harvey is a twang.

Watts to the Dees @ 1, just as I've believed all along.

Here's the real quote:

"I wouldn’t say Melbourne has gone cold on Watts but the Naitanui factor has been growing on them."

I guess the bigger story is that, in the Age today it's reported that Freo is now set on taking Hill at 3 (assuming Watts and Naitanui are gone), leaving Rich to slip out to pick 4-6.

    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

    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.
