If Luke Ball gets delisted by saints , we should try and get him or trade.Good player and is only 25 and could fill the void left by Wheels

no thanks, too expensive because saints wont delist him but even if they did we already have mclean, jones, moloney, valenti who are in and under and slow with limited kicking ability

Nup. This is rebuild time. Let the other teams worry about 25 yo cast offs and we will worry about getting kids to grow a good side a couple of years from now.

Too injury prone!.....

...We already have Rivers for that role :unsure:

At the moment we have 50% of the list for that one. But, yeah, it's not the fit for us. If we were sitting 4th or 5th I'd say we should consider it but it's not what we need or want at the moment.

if we were going to deal with the saints i reckon we go for that ben mcavoy he looks too be a fair player.

St Kilda would never let him go.

King / Gardiner only have so much time left and McEvoy is a gun youngster that plays their position.

Not a chance.

Yeah knew it would be a long shot but worth a try i guess. i really dont think we nned ball though, good player but not the fit for us right now we have to many of hes type.

Jamar has been good the few weeks but is there any disgruntled ruckmen around at the moment that we could give a late pick for??

Jamie charmen perhaps? how old is he?

Let's be honest though, in reality the likelihood of him coming is very very low. These things are very hard to work out and never seem to work. Our team is not in need of Ball although he would be add something to our team but not something we desperately need. He will not be coming to the Dees IMO.

Has anyone put some thought into getting Luke Ball to MFC.Not sure what the rumours are like in VIC but in SA the word seems to be that he wont be at the Saints next year.Is he contracted or could we possibly get him in the PSD.Would be a great addition to the club i think,could help the young lads out & add a bit of class.What are eveyones thoughts or info about this? Also Salopek,Boak & ebert all signed for the Powerless so we would have to trade,no chance of PSD for them.Also i dont mind Marcus Drum,is good size & played a good game on the weekend & heard he wants to head back to VIC

Thanks for the heads up on Boak, Salopek. Any news on D.Pearce?

No from me on Ball.

Just was thinking - Maclean plus pick 18 or 34 for Ball - remember Maclean won the game for us in the 06 Final against the Saints - they may view him as a fair replacement with a sweetner thrown in.. They're the same age so we're not looking any older (apart from the extra pick...).

Do you think the Saints might just be aware of McLean in the 3 years of subsequent games he has played particularly against the Saints? <_<

    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.
