I think we should have a real crack, very explosive player, we have Viney coming, i reckon its a no brainer..

    Warming to this Kid after doing some research last night. Sees himself as a more inside mid who wants to really work on his outside skills. Tall enough and will soon have the body to match it. For our lesser compo pick whatever that is dictated to be then have a dip.

    Not for 2 compo picks though. Not only would we lose the compo but GC would gain them which we have to bear in mind as well. Could we get 2 players next year at around pick 15 in addition to Viney that would be a better gain than getting Caddy?

    Compo plus Petterd?

    I like Petterd but I'd probably take that trade. Gotta make sure you dont unsettle the playing group when using players like commodities for sale though.

    Brisbane are in mediation with the Bombers and Gold Coast. If we are in the ear of Brisbane saying that we are keen, they will go in to bat for us if the Mombers can't agree to things.

    Big hour and a bit to go...

    Caddy's future is currently the subject f mediation, with a third-party trying to broker a deal between the Dons and the Suns. Craig Hutchison reported on Trade Week Radio that Melbourne is in there pitching as well.

    Does this mean we are part of the mediation or are we dealing with this matter independantly?

    i got no idea how all this works, Terry Wallace suggesting Caddy would be top 5 in this years draft,

    Which is nice but he went 7 last year so any natural improvement would do this

    Shows that it WILL take a good offer you would imagine

    I love that we're just screwing everything up for everyone with last minute deals. Good one Melbourne! :)

    Is a smart tactic, come in with a better bid late, make the other team look unreasonable, give them little time to work out a response to our offer. WIN

    This in from "Trades as they happen" on the AFL website http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/125176/default.aspx

    "UPDATE, 12.20pm: Melbourne defender Matthew Warnock has joined Gold Coast as part of a three-way trade deal that also involved the Brisbane Lions.

    The deal saw the Lions give pick No.52 in the NAB AFL National Draft to the Demons.

    In return, the Lions gained Queensland zone player Dayne Zorko (he was the captain of QAFL team Broadbeach in 2011) and pick No.47 from the Suns.

    Gold Coast gained the Lions' second round pick (No.34).

    Warnock will strengthen Gold Coast's defence in the club's second AFL season.

    The 27-year-old has played 55 games for Melbourne since making his debut in 2006."

    I had hoped that we'd use him to get Caddy, and I admit to my heart jumping once reading the word Gold Coast and Warnock in the same sentence but it seems he's gone now for pick 52. Should we throw that pick back at them? or maybe we need to get rid of someone who we don't really want to lose. Depends how badly we want Caddy. Maric and Bater are still on the table and Pencil is as good as gone.

    Melbourne finally throwing some weight around during trade week. Love it. Not enough to throw two first round picks at Caddy though. They can have our second compo pick and Maric if they want. Bate too.

    Even if it just forces Essendon to up their offer for him, it's win. Hate that club.

    Someone above mentioned a compo + Petterd. I'd do that deal as much as I like Rickybobby.

    I know...its beautiful isnt it. Might jsut have more than a chance at landing him too. We can trump Essendon. , that would be satisfying in itself :)

    Even if we don't get Caddy we can still make Essendon up the ante in terms of what they offer.

    But it would almost be worth getting Caddy just to see Bomberblitz go in to an absolute meltdown.

    I hope melbourne screw bombers into paying more...will make clark look cheap at pick 12.

    After the public kicking we received over Scully, Schwab and Co must be loving getting back in the ring and throwing some weight around.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
