Gray has been around for like 4 years and you have only "seen his highglights" ... hahahaha.

He played against us twice last year you numpty.

Seriously you are incredible. Thats gold!!!!

Uh... maybe you misunderstand.

Read the post again.

I've not seen much of him, besides his games against MFC, which from memory were fairly average.

Other than that I've only seen highlights and he looks very good, but I imagine that is because they are highlights and I could be overrating him.

Not a difficult concept to grasp.

It's all moot anyway, but I was trying to get a feel on other's opinions of these players.

Boak or Gray

Two Questions:

What do supporters think we'd have to be willing to part with to get one of these players?

What would you be willing to part with for one of these players?

Given Port's notorious hard lines in their previous trading history, I'd think we'd need to give up more than we'd want to, so can't see either being a real possibility.

But a first round pick for Boak - we could use more speed, ball winning ability and clean skills - only that's not going to carry much weight this year.

What would you be willing to part with for one of these players?

Using the Brock McLean trade as a guide, Boak would have to be worth quite a bit more than pick 11.

I think our first draft pick is likely to be later than that in 2010.

I wouldn't part with any of:

Grimes, Scully, Morton, Watts, Frawley, Garland, Jurrah, Trengove, Bate.

Possibly a few others.

By the end of the season that group may include McKenzie, Blease or Gysberts, but unlikely.

Gray is a different kettle of fish.

I think he might be worth a Nathan Jones or a Petterd, but not sure if I'd do the trade.

Any reason we needed to start a whole new thread for this KS? what was wrong with the original>?

Port supporters reckon that he signed on 4 weeks ago according to the Advertiser.

Edit: Gray that is.

According to one of the articles they did last year, offering a long contract with lots of money; Jamar chose a 1 year deal with MFC.

Yeah, just read about that

That tells me he really wants to remain an MFC player. Given how sh'it we were looking last year you wouldn't have blamed him if he wanted to go home and secure 4 years.

Your a very funny guy!!

"Other than that I've only seen highlights and he looks very good, but I imagine that is because they are highlights and I could be overrating him." ... WTF!!!! Are you talking about. :wacko:

Think it should be you who should read your "rubbish" before you post it.

Stick to watching youtube.

Boak and Gray are young guns ready to take off. I've asked for Gray to be traded for 2 years now so hopefully we can get him.

Gray's a jet but is very injury prone. But hey so is ricky bobby.

Love ricky bobby, get gray is class and would be an upgrade.

Is gray the sort that can be multi skilled, can he, not only play small forward, but has he the skills adaptable to learn a midfield role as well?

I would throw up our first round pick for Boak he is better than what we would get considering the best 17yo have already been signed and the Gold Coast have most of the top 20 picks.

OK. Who's hacked into Keyser's account? There's no way the Keyser who posts here normally would utter anything so... so... oh Geeze. McKenzie will be one of our most important inside mids, and IMO is the heir to Junior's throne once Junior retires. Blease and Gysberts, both high draft picks, both yet to play a single AFL game. Come on mate. Lift! Otherwise you should adopt rfpc's signature - "Apparently I'm better than that!"

Uhh, why do we want them? I think our team's pretty good as it is.

A-f'n-men brother. Well said.

I'm not going to respond to a degenerate.

You just did! Seriously mate, are you okay? You're normally a great contributor. ;)

... who rattled your cage. Your one to talk! Another little youtube know it all.

I think you're looking for Demonology, not Demonland. Off you trot.

I don't think there's any reason why he can't if he increases his fitness.

I don't watch the opposition much these days as I've been flat out watching what we've been doing & not doing for the past 4 - 5 years since I lost faith in our team back in 05 - 06. Thinking we we're in trouble back then.

Now I'll have to try to get interested again in the AFL instead of just being focused on us. Learn to barrack again.

If these young blokes want to dish it out they better start learning how to take it.

But thanks for the advice Barry.

I now understand there is a larger % of posters around here that formulate their opinions from youtube rather than using their own eyes live at the games.

I apologise for my honesty.

I'd agree, but I get the idea he is talking about one of those players in return for Boak who is/will be elite.

I also have to agree on McKenzie - far too important to the side now.

Blease & Gysberts have shown nothing yet & could be busts.

If you traded them for Boak it would be an absolute win.

I completely understand what you're saying here.

Boak or Gray

.....

I'd go after neither. Boak is 183cm, Gray 184cm. We are talking smalls - forward or otherwise. We have plenty of these. (And Danny Hughes is 186cm.)

We need 193+cm mobile forwards. Spend our $s on this type. :mellow:

Boak is a bluechip mid, not a small forward.

    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

    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
