I heard that Melbourne offered Jesse White a contract, but he wanted more money. I am surprised there has been no talk of him coming to melbourne next year. Perhaps if we dont get hale we will make a play for Jesse.

I hope we go hard after him, a better option then Hale IMO.

Not a big fan of Jesse White personally. Similar ability to Hale I guess though probably not quite as good. Sydney would probably accept pick 32. Depending how desperate we are for a 2nd ruckman it does seem likely to FD would look to a guy like Jesse.

We'd be laughing if we got White for pick 32.

I dont think Sydney would let him go anyway.

White would command more money, a higher pick, and more attention in the papers.

Far superior player.

Cannot see Sydney letting him go.

Love to get this guy but would he offer enough respite for Jamar in the ruck? I realise it would be his main position but I can't remember him doing much in the way of ruck work.

Obviously it's just personal opinion, but I disagree. I watched sydney quite a few games this year, and there is good reason he was dropped a couple of times and I don't rate him very highly.

That being said, he is a useful player I think pick 32 is pretty fair.

What about Daniel Currie ex-Victorian ... kid can play. Surely would be behind Mumford, Seaby, White & Pyke.

Rhys Stanley would fit perfectly if he's available.

http://www.dailytele...0-1225934796901 Back again, as I suspected.

This may cause impatience. Go hard @ Both Stanley &/or McEvoy... I'd Pay high for these guys 2nd Rnd + a Maric or Other...I need to Edit this of course as Stanley was one who signed a 1Yr contract @ StKilda. 2011... This may be the time for us.

Any 200cm Tall, as long as they are strong overhead.

I remember watching this kid when he was a junior, big, strong, aggressive and can kick the living day lights out of the ball (oh and he is a Victorian)

Here is an interesting article http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/sport/football-australian-rules/swans-rookie-ruckman-currie-readymade-to-replace-spida/1273306.aspx

His only down side is his injury problems. Look it all depends on price.

It seems that many young guys who must play, 'the physical game', seem to often get injured, until they find a way to get their bodies right.

I reckon if you reduce his "ruck" workload and use him as "more" as forward you might get more out of him. I just feel at the Swans they needed a ruckman & that is where he has been groomed for. With us we might get more out of him.

Proud of the Demon's standing firm with Pick 32. Hale u suck!

However, we still have time to snare a good young player with plenty of potential.

As other posters have mentioned. Daniel Currie & Jesse White are possibilites.

Currie the one to come more cheaply. Would a late pick be sufficient?

I think Currie should be our target.

We can wait a year or two to trade for an experienced forward/ruck if need be when our premiership window comes wide open.

By the way! I think Fitzpatrick is our sleeping giant at the forward/ruck position. Fitzy is going to be a star *

Just for the record- it wasn'tHale that sucks- it was North dictating to us-and we told them to get stuffed-GOT IT..

* In about 8 years.

The reasons why we didn't go after White are because he would be far more expensive in both salary and picks.

Hale would have been a good fit.

And now we wait for next trade week to see what falls.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
