Care to explain how a couple of weeks ago would've changed anything?

A belting by your comrad in crime-the SKYSCRAPER-HT...showed me in less than a week I needed to change my list to stay or be a threat...needed to find better players..Wood for a fair deal ?

Otten maybe-- Jolly no deal is my reason to look.These I offer you for consideration..You have played without a ruckman for weeks now..None... therefore you are playing a game where you cannot win one section of the game and puts you behind in others.Is that Smart...I don't think so..if you are fair dinkum.You haven't had a ruckman since Renouf went down in Round 12 by memory.

Didn't you not know that you could propose trades until a couple of weeks ago? Surely you'd know that if you were fair dinkum.

I realise I should've had a ruck, but at the time I thought it'd be better to grab a half decent mid rather than a 600ish ranked ruck. After a few weeks of that I see that you need a ruck.

In fairness, there's also been a bit of a lack of luck. 4 rucks I've had this season haven't been playing or have been traded for ones who stopped playing, now I pick up Gorringe and he's dropped (bah!). I've had to cover Jack, Selwood, Curnow, Dawes and Petterd being out often in the past 10 or so rounds which has been difficult. (Obviously, everyone has their hard luck stories).

45HG i have Andrew Browne from RIchmond. He'll give you 25 hit outs around 10 meaningless possessions but he's almost an adequate number 1 ruckman. Far better than Gorringe. Float an offer and i'll see what I can do. He's my only backup so I'm not entirely keen to give him away but i'm in a helpful mood haha

I'll have a look. Anyone with spare rucks, flick through my team and see if a player grabs your eye - will save me from scouring through 15 teams.

On a complete side note.. Is your display photo taken at Halong Bay, Vietnam by chance?

Great pick up--you are certainly on the ball- watch out finals here he comes..

Michael Gardiner is available and apparently very close to a game in the ones at St Kilda. Has played rezzies recently.

I would be prepared to trade Josh Fraser. He is a lock at GC. I'll have a look at your side.

I am also somewhat suspicious however I will allow snomeD to explain his reasoning for accepting an injured man and two players out of form for 2 gems and another good UF player....

Smells like Julia Gillard here..

As ive said on u.f. Im in desperate need for a backman - watsons a walk up start and should be back next week but in any case ive got an abundance of midfielders - green v sylvia not that much difference in last few weeks but green kicks goals which i also need grahams career is over imo and jensch was dominating at the time i pressed accept - didnt realise he would come off injured but thats life - hopefully he plays next week! Ranking wise there is a difference but stats wise not all that much difference - im gaining in areas that i need to imo

Even after hearing from SnomeD not convinced.

Sylvia & Andy Swallow far outweigh "Dodgy string Watson" & the 2011 version of Brad Green

& of course if you do win through to the GF Watson can't play.

I wont be voting against this however Robbo 24 now looks to be in a very powerful position.

Good Luck both of you for the remainder of the season.

Alas the trade got vetoed anyway - am throwing some trades out for backmen - i'm prepared to take a bit of a hit stats wise - obviously if the hits too big it'll just get vetoed anyway - so if you have a decent backman then swallow, sylvia, moloney, bolton up for grabs! Snomed's BASEMENT BARGAIN DEAL OF THE SEASON!

On another note - up in Darwin to watch the dees last night -what a great city! Have now seen the dees play everywhere except Perth (try to see one i/s game a year) - by far the best place of the lot!!

To those who vetoed the trade - enjoy the cold weather down there :)

    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
