THE TRADING CHRONICLES 2009

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
