i believe we should chased this bloke at the end of the year. was rated a very talented jnr back in his younger days and i even think Vossy said he was the best under 16 player he had ever seen.surprisingly cant break into the senior side but absolutely kills it in the WAFL! him and Koby Stevens i would love to snag!

i dont know how to put a youtube clip up here so heres a link to some highlights.

No thanks. We all know his history as a junior, but he's a turnover merchant with his kicking.

I agree Ben. From what I have seen of his kicking, it's not up to AFL standard, and we already have enough turnover kings of our own.

Kobe worth a shot, but depends on the costs.

It would have to be less than a top 30 draft pick, or someone like Petterd or Bennell.

We really need to get James Strauss back into the side though.

I'm gagging to see him again.

Agree that Koby Stevens would be a good get.

Eagles supporters I know rated him as someone that might have replaced LeCras after doing his knee early this year. Sort of begs the question why he hasn't.

Nobody knew who Koby Stevens was until his manager made him look like God personified in pre-season. I wouldn't trade someone like Petterd unless he proves himself further this year

Tom Swift is a dud despite the injuries I have seen him play WAFL and get plenty of the ball due to far superior fitness than opponents but still continues to butcher it even with more time.

Koby Stevens is a stand out for East Fremantle in the WAFL and just can't break into one of the top 2 midfields in the comp, would be a very good get and IMO would come farily cheap, may also be out of contract at end of season

Koby Stevens is the one we want. Inside and outside player good skills ball magnet and young. Pay him $$$

No, don't pay anyone that hasn't shown they can dominate at AFL level $$$ (which I am guessing is big money). That would be foolish. Stevens looks okay but yet to be convincing. As Jose said, don't give up anything too high.

agreed. He rips it up at WAFL level. Tough, 21 year old, good skills, great tackler. Can't crack it past the Eagles midfield of Kerr, Priddis, Shuey etc ... Koby is a Vic Country-Gippsland boy so come home factor possible. (swap for Bennell !!)

West Coast is probably a club that could turn Bennell and Petterd around with alot of work, but to think a straight swap of two players that can't get a game for 16th position and not doing much to knock down the door, for a 21 year old with good skills and only flaw is his take off speed, who is bashing on the door just waiting for at chance mid in the 2nd best midfield is just classic demonland. Do West Coast even want a medium sized forward or a player that doesnt know what he is? they will have lecras come back next year and nicoski(spelling?) come back in so I highly doubt they will be interested, I dare say they would want a pick, possibly second round, if i recall he went in the 20's? or so, i think it was second round. With this draft supposed to be very good until the 30's is he better then a player we could pick up? possibly not. but on the other hand would draft pick XX have a impact as quick as stevens would. interesting to see if stevens decides to stay or go.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
