Some posters think it justice for our tanking..I mean experimenting and that its Robbos curse of disatisfaction with these tactics that has caused some upheaval at the club.

I will be devastated if he goes but I did feel during the season that the club was holding him back when he was in the best form of his career. There were jokes on here about keeping him on the bench. Why wouldn't he feel aggrieved that he was being robbed of his peak form?

i hope that all players, like supporters and coaching staff can see the bigger picture, that last year, there were certain things that were a prioroty.. If you were smart, and understood the position, every player should want to play for Melbourne now, as there will never be a year like we just had, it's full noise from here, And Aaron Davey should hang in there, just like all the supporters have.

I really dont want him to go, we gave him a chance when no one else did and he should be a demon forever.

For the people who expect Melbourne to improve on this year next year if we trade Aaron Davey, you are surely mistaken.

However, I am a guy who loves the sound of having picks 1, 2, 10, 11, 18 in a draft that will be without a Gold Coast & West Sydney dominated draft.

It won't help Dean Bailey next year of course but will ultimately help the Melbourne FC in the next few years. Unfortunately, as always, I believe we're late in making such trades considering we've bottomed out the past few years. Brock McLean, an up & coming player is gone, & if Aaron Davey goes, that's a lot of youthful experience gone to clubs that are progressing into the top 8.

Melbourne should have made these trades 3 years ago. Not now, you would think.

Next year, we should be on the way up. It's been too long on the bottom & to be quite honest, I'm sick of it. But now, I'm afraid without these two guys out, there's not many indicators for change next year.

With all this said, we have been a mediocre side for a while now & with mediocrity brings a need for a clean out.

I'm neither for or against it at this stage. All I can hope is that we know what we're doing...

Mind you, improvment will happen soon. Next year or the year after we will make big moves up the ladder. Remember, we do have Liam Jurrah.

Go Dees! Stop.. Jurrah-Time!

'Ox' also told the whole world that on SEN.

My post wasn't a Big News Extra Extra heads-up re the Ox, Davey and SEN - that's old hat. My post was a pointer that there was trade talk at the Hun and that it didn't take long for someone to ask about Davey.

Is that a surprise?

Many Melbourne supporters are probably having kittens and given his high profile I'm sure it's of interest to fans of other Clubs.

    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

    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
