5/7/83, 186cm, 86kg,75 games, 42 goals.

Relieved he has gone to the Saints because we were being linked to him too! The Saints feel they are in the window and know they lack pace and running power and the additions of Lovett and to a lesser extent Peake address this. They should get a pick in late first/early second for Ball - not much of a loss for mine - or perhaps another quick runner like Wellingham.

Looks like the Saints are rolling the dice in the hope they can win it all in 2010. Selling the future for a flag, hell I would be wanting us to do the same if we were in their position.

Peake and Lovett add some depth, if they can keep Luke Ball or gain something solid in return then the saints will have had a successful trade week.

They dont want Peake and Lovett for depth. They want pace. They have offloaded downhill skiers in Milne and Clarke. Can they offload Ball? They would prefer to.

Pies have only pick 30 left unless they can trade someone of decent merit. Davis would struggle to get beyond a mid 2nd round pick.

Although i am happy we didnt get Peake i think he will benefit the Saints with his speed

Lyon would have learned alot in the last 8 weeks of the season about his list

This smacks of desperation to me.

But it's the time for that I guess - their window is ajar and they need to win before Riewoldt's knees slam it shut.

Peake is depth, waste of money. Lovett is gold, if you can tame him. But if you can't, he's fool's gold.

Worked with Dawson and Farren Ray...

They're not out of contract, but given thier performances in the finals and the GF, I'd imagine they are out of favour and will spend alot of next year playing at Trevor Barker Oval

I often wonder why more clubs don't trade late picks for a player. Statistically, I would have thought that Peake (on his exposed ability plus whatever improvement the saints think they can get) has better prospects and is likely to be better than most picks in the late 40s.

Agreed, especially in a year where they are expecting a shallow draft. The only reason I can really think of is that sometimes it has more to do with wanting to offload players for list management reasons. I wouldn't mind if the dees were to offer picks 50 & or 66 to have a gamble on an available player who may not have lived up to his potential at a previous club. Just as much speculation as the draft really.

It is funny how of a bad of a footballer Peake was made out to be when his name was mentioned on here a while ago, yet he is good enough for the saints.

I still think he's rubbish regardless of where he's gone. Like others have said, glad it's them and not us.

No it has not been proven that he is good enought to play for the Saints. He is a speculative pick

Is he any worse than the bottom four on the Saints list?

The Saints time is now. They will trade picks now for their window is now. We are not in that predicament and I dont see the need for MFC to punt a player who at best could 2 years of mediocre service.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
