I have a gut feeling that Melbourne may be having a serious look at none other than..... Yes, that's right..... David Wojcinski :o

I know everyone of you will say "BS.... His name always pops up at trade time", but let's look at it seriously....

He is uncontracted.... We have been said to be trying to push someone into the PSD.... A lot of people are saying Luke Ball.... But I think his deal will be done tomorrow....

If we picked DW up for a couple of years (29yrs old) he would be able to at least fill the younger fellas with stories of how good it is to win premierships! We have lost Whelan and Wheatley.... I know they are different players, but they were both older heads in the backline.... And Cameron Schwab has recently made the point that teams need up to 12 quick blokes rotating through the midfield to be successful....

I know he wouldn't be likely to be around during our premiership window, but the lessons he could teach would be worth a lot....

Just a gut feeling that I have.....

I have not entertained the thought in past years, but for some reason this year I think it fits....

Opinions??

Or have I just lost all my cred? (If I had any) hahahaha :lol:

    NO!!!

    He's 29 years old, surely we can't have got rid of Wheatley especially for no reason?

    Pass. Better off keeping Buckley.

    I get the feeling that the only thing we will be trying to do is off load a couple of players and hope we can upgrade our two picks inside the top 30.

    I agree. There is no way we will pick up a player who will not be a part of our next flag tilt. If he was 26 I`d be keen!

    I knew what the response from DL would be.... But it just keeps jumping into my head....

    HaHa.... Well one half of my brain dreams of a premiership, the other half dreams of seeing Jack Trengove play for Melbourne.... There may be room in the middle for ridiculous thoughts about over-age players who have past their used by date :P

    Luke Ball in the PSD is the only way i would be happy.

    Wojo would give the team experience but i think he is to old. (can't believe i said 29 is too old!!!!) :lol:

    I still have a sneaking suspicion that Melbourne will do something crazy before this trade period is over....

    We will know in less than 20 hours I guess....

    That's it. I want to see our fifth pick higher than 34, and there's plenty of scope to do that, by packaging picks, possibly with a player of delisting potential that has been talked about in the papers this week. That, coupled with Luke Ball not going to Collingwood, would make for a great trade week!

    I get a feeling we are pretty much done and dusted for trade week now, with no real word around about us at present.

    HELL YEAH!

    I still think Jamar will be off too Port for Pick 9. Another player to be added to the deal or exchange in draft picks.

    Bell will be at Carlton for a late pick. Fourth rounder likely!

    Buckley I think will find another home also. I think he might end up at a Collingwood or Essendon for some reason.

    Luke Ball possibly PSD. Will he want stay at the Saints after this week? Who knows!

  • Quote

    I think something along the lines of upgrading Picks 34 and 50 and Daniel Bell into a top 25 pick would be nice, and likely what we're trying to do.

    Carlton reported to be interested in Bell.... why?

    Are you suggesting that the agreement reached only two days ago is about to be reneged upon?

    Then its guaranteed none of thse will happen

    I'm willing to bet my left leg that we won't make a trade today!

    Toss your right one in and you will still be safe.

    I cant see Ball going to PSD. A deal will be done.

    Honestly, what do Carlton see in Daniel Bell?

    The guy is just not up to AFL standard.... if we get pick 100 for him i will be happy.

    I'd think he would be delisted if not picked up by Carlton as we need the space for our picks.

    Wont happen now that Mumford is going to Sydney - the Cats' salary cap pressure isn't as drastic now. Had Mumford stayed, might have been a different story - not saying that Melbourne would have picked him up, but Wojo would have more than likely been delisted.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
