Bruce to V.L means that half his salary doesn't affect our salary cap. It doesn't free up a spot.

The way I understand it it actually does free up a spot on the list, but means you can take 1 less rookie.

But he'd just be replacing Robbo anyway.

Bruce going onto the VL does free up a spot, his spot on the list, he takes Robbo's spot on VL and then we have a spot available on our senior list.

But its just as if robbo was taking up a spot on the list and now he is gone...

So with Whelan, Wheatley and Robbo gone that has freed up 3 spots - dont be confused and think it is 4.

...Suddenly, Sydney is back in the hunt and the football world is stunned that the Carlton machine with its seemingly endless supply of cold, hard cash which managed to lure to the fold such players as Chris Judd, Robert Warnock and more lately McLean has failed to get its men. Assuming that it really wanted them and wanted a trade to go ahead in the first place...

RIP Richard Pratt.

And on trade talk, Burgoyne to the dorks, mark 'gunshot' Williams to essendon and jay Nash to port.

Just ball and fev to go now.

To land a house hold name like ball will be great for this club.

I agree it will be good to snag Ball. The paper says we have as much chance of getting him as we do of winning the flag next year. Looks like we have him in the bag then.... ;)

Iam a little more confident that what the Hun belives.

I can't see st kilda wanting to trade a player like ball to collingwood, who are a top 4 side, and will be challanging st kilda come finals next year.

Having said that, I've been following the dees for too long to get my hopes up on this.

A strong rumour is that Essendon would like to unload Laycock. I think he would suit our short & long term requirements, Your thoughts?

I don't think he would suit our requirements, to put it politely.

Steve Lavell: The Brendan Fevola deal is done. He's heading to the Lions. Lachlan Henderson and pick No.12 to Carlton for Fevola and pick 27.

The reason they site is that we don't have enough money. We have 500,000 before we hit our minimum TPP. Who writes this garbage?

This is a stupiid suggestion.Why would we do this when we could have got Fevola, We have delisted Robertson, Wheatley & Whelan due to our youth policy and recruiting Bradshaw would be a slap in the face to us all.

Yes I did- one is a ruckman at 24 years of age- another a forward at 30 .I think we need a ruckman ,more than a full forward type. This is my opinion - however you are also allowed yours.Furthermore, I think their is quite alot of upside with Laycock. Bradshaw is in his twilight.

    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.

    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
