Do some people just think up ideas and post them... I think this is a rumour started by the person writing this thread. Valenti is probably a nice bloke who will have a good VFL career.

I heard Fremantle are interested in signing Robbo on a 6 year deal to boost their youth stocks. could be just a rumour

Wow mate. From your use of sarcasm I can tell you're a pretty intelligent bloke. Why would someone bother to make this up? I don't care if you don't believe me, just annoys me that you're

Pretty much having a go at my integrity. I can promise you that this isn't a rumour.

The AFL have introduced a rule starting at the end of this season that allows clubs to trade rookie-listed players for ND draft picks. I remember seeing an article posted up here last week about it.

Valenti is a good player unfortunately a little too slow for the AFL today.

i Do not understand the selection strategy at present.I have been pushing for valentis inclusion all year.I rate him highly ,he has had 1 game for the year which was ok ,he is abetter option than mclean as he is a better decision maker than mclean and uses the ball far better.I would be trading mclean if possibel .he would make an excellent ameteur player

andhis turnoverswould not be as noticeable in the ameteurs as they are each week now.If sydney is interested it just goes to show how blind our selection process is.He has been caseys best allyear and his time in the 1's last year was excellent and I do not understand why he has had 1 run this year

So much for Deegirl always being on the money.

Those senile old gits over at Demonology will believe anything.

...& would rather him than Dunn.

This is an interesting comment, because both have something that the other needs. Dunn has good footskills and speed, but winning the football doesn't come naturally to him. Whereas, Valenti is a ball winner but lacks speed and probably awareness. I'd prefer to persist with Dunn than Valenti, as he has more upside and we have enough of these slow type midfielders, that can win clearances.

Don't you mean "I can promise you that this is a real rumour." ... ??

Because it definitely isn't fact until he's at Sydney, so...

And the AFL is looking at making rookie listed players tradeable but it is far from written into the rule books as we speak.

Stay tuned folks...

How the hell do you come to that conclusion? if you base that on the game Valenti played, Mclean had 37 touches and was close to BOG. I for one will admit brock has been up and down but brock is miles ahead of Valenti.

I heard the AFL is toying with the idea of making Free Agency available to Rookies, but they have to be placed on the list of their new club.

Might come in at the end of the year. I think it is the AFL trialling FA to see for potential, and avoidable, problems when the league has FA in a few years time.

I really don't see why people are getting so huffy puffy about this. I'm not saying that Valenti is actually heading off, all I'm saying is that a club is considering him as an option. Guess it's better to just keep your mouth shut on this site sometimes.

Also looks like our estimated wages budget this year will be blown out of the water again, due to rookies and match day payments

I think it happened 3 or so years ago. Oh well, thats footy

Would have thought their match payments are significantly lower than a listed player though (not 100% how it all works)

Who has gone onto the injury list for McKenzie to be elevated?

Garland..?

As far as I can tell no one was promoted for him.

Spencer was promoted for Jamar and still needs to be promoted again to play seniors again this year

Rookies are on a low salary(?$50,000), which rises significantly when they're promoted(I wonder if it's on a pro rata basis, ie Jordie's salary might rise to that of the lowest ranked listed player for 6/22 of the season)

That's the way to go, however financially strapped we are(remember when the green-grocer put in money for Flash to be elevated?)

It costs the club money to give deserving rookies a game....but it pays dividends! Financial constraints must never preclude the promotion of a deserving rookie.

I'm just a bit worried Jordie will play so well that we'll achieve the dreaded win!

According to this article on the dee's website http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsart...81/default.aspx there are new guidelines that let a player be elevated without the need for a long terms injury listed player.

yeah, that's true, but you have two players elevated -- Valenti and McKenzie.

One for Garland, one for the new rule.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
