Artilcle in todays Age saying Melbourne's in the hunt for the Docker wingman who wants to be traded. What does everyone think? He's a decent player but a no from me unless it's through the PSD. I only want to see us trade for draft picks personally.

Oh jeez. Well, ok... he's probably not as ridiculous as many of the trade threads we see here, in that he's actually a possibility of being moved around...

But why? Rather leave it to BP. Unless it's because we've been forced by Bartram/Jamar or whoever into a trade.

Peake is 26, with only solid-good legspeed and a propensity for torching it, primarily because he can't kick that well on the run. Fair to say that for a 'running' player, this is a considerable handicap.

I can think of players I'd like at the club less, but lets hope this doesn't manifest itself in trade week.

Please no.

Too old, what would he bring to the club.

Outside leg speed, which is a major need!

But I agree with the reservations, would only take for a player, say Bartram, Bell, PJ..

Nope, he fits in as one of those player i'll be avoiding at all cost.

The major theme has being drafting kids who are good kicks and good decision makers. Brett Peake flys in the face of both.

The only thing I think will make me accept Peake is Freo give us their 1st pick and they must accept Bell, Bartram and Paul Johnson in return.

If we were in the hunt for a player like Peake it would be obvious MFC are trying to fast track our results. With his fantastic long accurate kicks from down back and on the wing it could free up Davey for the fwd line? or Grimes a bit more to run in the midfield?

He cant kick.....Having someone who can turn the ball over certaintly fast tracks results. :lol:

We have enough of those.

He has a great booming kick.

Doesn't matter if you can launch the nut like an ICBM, if you're a running half-back flanker its all about accuracy. If you're turning it over with indiscriminant kicks, you get caught out of position, and your opponent cuts you up on the rebound. We have enough blokes who can thump it, but totally miss the target.

It makes Demonland look very poor when our posters who have been on here for a long time clearly know nothing about players from other teams. Brett Peake is very highly rated in the west. IMO Melbourne should not go after his services, as we should look younger, but in saying that he would add quality to our side.

Freo are prepared to let go of him and WCE wont touch him. I dont see either PA or the Crows. He is a middle range footballer with flaky skills. Dont overgloss it.

You will no doubt miss the irony of your swipe at others.

Hook, line and sinker.

No Doubt at all? Oh the irony in that Rhino.

If this is indeed true (as I noticed it in the paper myself, as well), what the heck are we thinking?

If it were true Melbourne must see something in him that we need, or some potential. You would have to trust that Melbourne wouldn't make a silly move for no good reason.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
