Yeah I think Terry is off his mark with that trade.

Sylvia will have currancy but he and Clark are probably our only a-graders. Sylvia is one of my favourite players and when he is on you know what he is capable of. I doubt he has a huge impact on the other players leadership wise, but no one is perfect.

But two points that should be made. McKenna said yesterday that the last thing is club needs is more young players and draft picks. They are after strong bodies and experienced players. Secondly if you dont think Caddy has potential have a look at what his older brother used to do - all be it at the North Heidelberg. he was a marauder - feared by all.

So his younger brother - if he lives up to his potential - could eventually be an asset. And a much needed toughnut.

Pick 80? Caddy was a top rounder so your joking... But whether we can come to a trade is the question.

BTW - Boak's agreement to stay at Port Adelaide was made on the basis that Matthew Primus stays. Now he is gawn, he's leaving!

Also I know that Talia wanted to come to the Demons...

Just thought its worth mentioning how wonderful it is to see Essendon on the cusp of missing the finals. A reminder: if Essendon fall out of the 8, our mid-round compo pick is effectively bumped forw

Bennell is a fringe player . His fringe is probably his main priority .

Morton was 4, Gysberts 12 and Cook 12

Would you give those picks for them now?

Of course not.

It is what you do after the Draft that matters and Caddy has been anything but wonderful.

I will stick with 80

To be fair OD It's Caddy's second season. In Morton's second season or even after Gysberts first season, you would have gotten a lot more and thats what you have to compare it to... not Morton now.

Pick 80 is a ridiculous call and you are just trying to get a rise out of people.

80 might be an ambit claim but seriously I do not believe he is worth more than a third round pick.

I just don't see anything more than an average player

What about Cook you left him off.

Where does he now fit

Caddy was pick 7 and Cook 12

Sylvia is most definitely not an A-grader.

LOL old dee, no more than a third round pick? I think you overrate draft picks way more than anyone here is overrating Caddy.

Sylvia an A-grader? Jesus Christ. What are we smoking in this thread? You have to be consistently great to be A grade. Sylvia is pretty much the antithesis of consistent. He's played maybe four A grade games in eight years.

I dont honestly i was trying to make the point that 13 AND a Moloney is way overs, i know he was rated very highly as a junior and is unhappy where he is seemingly, but Morton was highly rated too and isnt worth pick 13 atm so i am more with you Oldee. the question is will he be better just by being in VIC for the change or not? people seem to think so, Emme Qauyle ect rate him so...

Pick 13 will likely be a player like Wines, O'rourke, Garlett or Kennedy or Menzel who are all playing great U18's, Caddy is very much hype

Is Moloney worth a 2nd Rnd pick?

Pick 13 and Moloney sounds abot right.

I think Moloneys a late second rounder - would''ve be a touch earlier, but he is a bit loose upstairs.

Caddy is going to be a very good player, he'd be an asset, he'll be better than Boak - and I dont even mind if we get Boak,

I just think Caddy is going to be a really good player.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
