There is a report on (sportsnews first) that there are a host of West Coast Eagles player maybe looking for a move in the trade period; Matt Rosa, Mitch Brown and maybe Ben McKinley just to name a few.

Anyone think Melbourne may look into any of these players and what do you think we will have to give up for them?

Interested to hear different opinions

Id take Mitch Brown if he was available, depending on what cost obviously.

I would take Mitch Brown to add to our defensive KP stock, only if something happened with Warnock. Warnock has played 50 games to Brown's 37 but Brown is 21 compared to Warnock being 26!

That age difference for me is something that could work in our favour if done well, not that 26 is old by any means. IMO this has a nice feel about it if we did it right.

Eagles also used him with "limited" success as a forward. I wouldn't rule this bloke out all depends on price. Our best judge woulds be chips Frawley ... ask him what he thinks. Outside chance IMHO.

These guys are fringe players at the worst club in the league- the eagles are gonna have as much difficulty in off-loading these guys as we did in 07-09.

Lynch was uninjured this year yet could only manage 8 goals in 13 games so why would we want to pick up a guy who is older and less productive than Matthew Bate- a player many posters here consider tradable- toatally defies logic!!!

Mitch Brown, due to his age and the fact his 08 season was ruined by a torn ACL, appear to be the only attractive player out of those mention- there does appear to be some upside with him

Assuming these are all correct.

Matt Rosa probably looks like a logical player for Bombers to chase.

Mitch Brown probably looks like a logical player for Tigers to chase.

Ben McKinley probably looks like a logical player for Carlton to chase. Probably could add Spangher into the equation there as well.

However, you wouldn't expect all to come true. Eagles are most likely going fishing.

Mitch Brown is a big lump of a lad, but i am yet to see where he would fit into an AFL side. Doesn't seem to have enough tricks to be a forward, and only seems to be a gorilla type defender at this stage..

McKinley has no defensive skills, so I doubt he's the sort of player we'd be looking for.

Matt Rosa is an outside midfielder with average disposal, so again, what would he add??

Brown is worth a look. No others

Would Mitch Brown be much of an upgrade from Martin or Miller? If we're going to out and get our big strong tall forward, we may as well make it count and go for quality.

Getting fringe talls from other clubs won't gain us much, unless we're looking for depth

    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

    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
