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:

There's a lot of room.

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

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.

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 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....

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!

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.

    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

    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.
