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:

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.

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

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!

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?

:huh:

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

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
