hi guys another player that wants to leave

brent staker has asked west coast to trade him because of lack of opportunity

he is a melbourne country kid, john worsfold said we will trade him if a club shows they are keen n wants to talk

did show some promising signs

do you think we as a club should go after him or not; is 25

:)

Given that he's contracted for 2010, West Coast would have to give us Staker and pick 55 for our pick 98 for us to even entertain the thought. Even then, I wouldn't clog the list with a struggler who is neither a key position forward or useful crumber.

With all these players putting hands up...can some now still take the stand that Melbourne wont be involved in any trading. ?

All these players are going to casue knock ons and someone is bound to be offered or sought to/from Melbourne.

Staker ? he's a more than handy player but not a fit into our side..Ironically he might do well with the Swannies...but could he put on their jumper ?? :lol:

If its' only Staker and Raines then we won't be involved in trading. Staker is just another Miller and Raines is a 1 year wonder with nothing going for him.

More than handy? He's rubbish. I could not be less enthused.

If Staker is the standard of whats around among the NQRs then MFC should keep its gun locked away in its holster.

no. we've got enough hacks that try and play ruck. get a decent one. but don't trade away picks for it. maybe a swap for daniel bell though. thinking on my feet here. yeahs thats fair. a dud for a dud.but only if he's on less than bell

Hold on..

Showed some good form late in year, and is a good type to have. Would take him for a 5th rounder!

Ben Mckinley is the eagle we have shown interest in though, as have 2 or 3 other VIC clubs, him id take for a 3rd rounder MAYBE 4th..

If he is a 5th rounder in a bottom ranked club then he must be worth having then. :rolleyes:

Sarcasm becomes you.

If some get there way on here we will become the rubbish dump of the AFL.

Agree.

Comments like "worth a punt". "Good for depth" "Good type to have" make me cringe. For some, list management and trading has not evolved much from the blindfold and a pin with a tail on it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
