If he does not play, i think we chase him as he might be willing to leave after being dropped for 2 GF's.

A good young ruckman who will be a good 2nd for Jamar for a few years then overtake him and can start playing round 1 next year

Good idea, but would be very expensive, and tough to outbid other clubs and the Suns

Was a top 10 draft pick, is rated very highly by StKilda, is still very young and improving, probably rated by all AFL clubs.

I agree if he cannot make the 22 two years running for a GF, he is not rated that Highly by the Aints.

And by the time he is, there window for more GF's will be shut, while ours is opening.

Definately worth a pursue.....

I think we'll have an even slightly better chance on one or the other (McEvoy or Stanley), If Gardiner is talked into going around again. Which, I fully expect they Will do.

Didn't the saints sign him for 1 yr just a few weeks ago?

Doesn't sound like they rate him too highly.

McEvoy & 2nd Round Pick to the Dee's

Jones & Warnock to the Saints

McEvoy will be one of the best ruckman in the comp. He is a big body that can play forward also. A great mark and kick! He is exactly what we are looking for...

Go hard Dee's!

There are a few ruck types rumoured to be coming loose this year. McEvoy may be one. Hale may be another. One from Carlton maybe. Add your own favourite rumours.

We need backup for Jamar for the next 2 years until Spencer/Gawn/Fitzpatrick are ready. We can either keep PJ for this, or try to get something in trade. Can't rely on the draft, as we need an AFL ready hard bodied ruck, not a 19yo who will take years.

GC will be looking for one or two of these types to shoulder the load until young Zac and any other beanpoles they have or may draft come good as AFL level ruckmen in 2014/15. And they will be the Lola's of the 2010 trade period (whatever GC wants, GC gets). You can then make your own list of who else may be chasing them.

We don't need an absolute star. We don't need a relatively young lad. Our need is for 2 years, so we could take a 28 to 30 yo. So rule 1 for this trade is: "Don't get into bidding wars (especially with GC) and waste our value". If we can get someone surplus to requirements or disatisfied with their current club for a reasonable price (which I put at pick 30 plus one of Bate/Jetta/Maric - our surpluses) then go for it. I think McEvoy will command a higher trade price than this. I would not, on any account, use our pick 12 for this trade. Remember, we don't need a star ruck here, just 2 years insurance on the Russian's cruciate ligaments.

If we can't get anyone on trade, then we can either retain PJ or look for a mature age rookie. Or both.

McEvoy may well now be out of the running. Gardiner was off the ground for a fair bit of the 2nd half, so McEvoy may well get a start in the replay GF. Off course, if he is left out again, he will be out of there faster than a winged mammal from the infernal regions.

What makes anyone think the Saints would let McEvoy go?

They'd have to be mad.

He's set to be their number 1 ruckman for the next decade.

Why would they be so stupid?

And King has retired with Gardiner very likely to soon follow.

We don't have a chance in hell of getting the young fella.

    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.
