seriously if the right deal came along, say a top ten pick.... i would trade davey.....

Geez there are some absolute numbskulls on this board now. Trade Davey away and you may as well kiss the potentially great careers of Jurrah and Wonaeamirri goodbye. They look up to Aaron like an older brother, and with him gone they will most definitely go back in their shells and either quit football or become list cloggers. Davey is worth so much more to us than just himself, he is worth 3 players. Never mind the millions of dollars we will lose from a marketing perspective that Aaron provides.

Ah, you misinterpret, I don't want him to go. But if he must, thats close to what I'd be asking for.

Id be interested in buying a car off of you sometime :rolleyes:

That'll be Davey's manager as he must be in contract negotiations ATMO.

Green was supposedly off this time last year

Now thats a big statement which I say is a load of rubbish. Wona and LJ are grown, proud men whose form and desire to play football existed before they meet Davey. In all seriousness, that has got to be one of the craziest statements I've seen here. Quite absurd really.

IF and I repeat if Davey wants to leave then goodbye. We take as much as we can for him, but IF he wants out, then whats the point stopping him.

Like most here though, I hope this rumour is crap.

Just those two or all the black fellas?

Leadership is something to be treasured, but don't tell me LJ and AW will be lost without a steady hand to guide them unless you include CM, JW, AM, SB or any other white fella.

Lucky we kept James McDonald or else Sam Blease and James Strauss would be rooted.

While he is a positive you are tugging it a little...no make that alot.

with picks 1 and 2, do we really need another top 10 pick.

Trading a player like Davey, for another top 10 pick is risky and could really hurt MFC.

Personally, i think keeping picks 1, 2 and 18, and off loading some list cloggers would be a successful Trade week.

Thats why I posted that. In response to the Lake posts re Melbourne's pitch for him.

It's said, he (Lake) has in principle come to terms with the Doggies new contract offer.

This is what I believe is going on with Aaron's manager.

Some twit over on Big footy is saying that its basically a done deal that Davey is going to Collingwood for their first round pick and Chris Dawes. He is saying Anthony Corrie is his cousin and they desperately want to play together, and this is the only way it will happen.

I would have thought if they want to play together, the only way it was going to happen was in the reserves, as thats all Corrie is good for

I personally find it very very hard to believe, but what do others think?

I stopped reading at "Some twit over on Big Footy is saying...."

if all they are doing is "clogging" our list, why would another club want them "clogging" their list?

I'm sorry DD but WTF? Just a statement with no facts behind it. I know nothing of the inner sanctum but seeing both Wonna and LJ play footy over there 1st seasons they will be just fine (barring injury) without Davey (not that I want him gone at all).

Both seem to have an inner desire to be the best AFL footballers they can be, it would matter little if one player was at another club.

Ignoring the obvious flaws in this rumour, it must be said that any trade involving Dawes is destined for failure. Has not played well every time I've seen him in action. Usually is easily shut down by the opposition.

Agree.

Why would you repeat it on another site?

Gee, pardon me, i thought these sites were for discussing such topics and i thought it would be an appropriate topic for discussion on this site

Other clubs in different situations, would look a players differently.

A list clogger for MFC, could be a good player elsewhere.

Personally i think it's worth a shot at trying to free up the list this way, rather than just delisting players no longer needed.

When you start the thread some twit over on Big Footy.....Gotcha.

I doubt it at the moment.

Chris Johnson anyone?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
