It seems to me that some Melbourne supporters have kind of slipped into a welfare mentality where we think we haven't been afforded enough by the system. We want it all but don't want to have to pay f

Read between the lines folks. Effectively the club through Viney is telling both Gold Coast and GWS that they will call their bluff on pick 3. If either choose to take Viney at one or two then the MFC

If that is the case it's pretty simple we take him at 3. No drama at all.

...Adding to the appeal, O'Loughlin lauded Viney as one of the most outstanding young leaders and most professional to come through the system.

"He is an unbelievable kid," he said. "He might put a few noses out of joint because he expects a lot from himself and from others, but so be it because he is just a quality individual."

and that right there, to me is the reason why Viney is our number 1 priority, at whatever number. That is the culture changing aspect of his personality right there. He is the kind of guy that if you were professional and got the job done- he'd love you. If you were a clown he'd want to bury you.

This is a prototype of the Neeld player. And tomorrow is just another step in the process of him putting on a dees jumper and it is about the only thing that's kept me going over the last year or so, so it's fair to say that I can't wait for all this to be over and him to be on the list and showing our men how it's done.

It's a stupid deal and we should be ashamed if we stoop that low for such a marginal advantage. I won't believe we would do it.

It's a deal involving a player or a later pick, but if they want 4 for Caddy I would dob them in for draft tampering myself! Pricks!

I find it funny though that everyone thought GC were going to be nice about this a few weeks ago and noone thought they would bid.

This is what would happen:

GC and GWS don't nominate Daniher or Viney, and then we nominate Daniher. Essendon then takes him with Pick 10ish.

It's very unlikely that GWS and GC won't nominate Daniher.

The process is done, not by kid, but by pick: GWS can reel off all the kids they want to with Pick 1 if the club with the rights decides to take them:

GWS: Daniher!

Ess: Pick 11!

GWS: Viney!

Melb: Pick 3!

GWS: McDonald!

NM: Pick 15!

etc.

I think GWS can only nominate one F/S per round. Happy to be corrected but thunking I read that somewhere.

As I understand teams can nominate more than once following a rule change this year.

My understanding is they get a bid. If unsuccessful that bid can't be used again.

This is an attempt to thwart ambit bidding.

I think the MFC slipped up. In an article regarding Wellingham and Dawes trade they said that they wanted at least 1 live pick out of 3 & 4.

This is them saying "We will use pick 3 on Viney regardless but if we do , we wont trade for Wellingham and Dawes"

But did the MFC actually say that, or did the journalist say that. I am pretty sure it was the latter.

Lol I'd much rather just take Jack at 3 if it were to come to that.

Emma Quayle tweeting that GC will NOT bid on Jack.

Wasn't it Quayle who was certain they would bid a couple of days ago? Something must have happened... a deal perhaps?

Cale Morton looked great at similar levels.

Wash your mouth out, using Morton and Viney in the same sentence!

    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
