Dude wears hipster specs with his Collingwood tracksuit. He should be waterboarded in a pool of Danish-based Apple cider for that.

Lol we're like the unattractive sex tourist. We have a bundle of cash but still nobody will even look at us. I feel sorry for us

I still like the idea of trading Martin for Wellingham.

Define Stupider please?

Martin and a 2nd rounder for Wellingham sounds more than fair to me.

What we really need is for Cloke to re-sign at Collingwood. Hopefully that will stretch their salary cap to the point that blokes like Goldsack and Wellingham would be tipped out or have to agree to a pittance to stay.

Problem with that scenario is Martin will probably cost the pies close to as much per year at Wellingham.

BTW - Goldsack would be an even better pick up than Sharrod

How are we going to pick up Kennedy and Wellingham?

We would have to trade pick 13 for Wellingham. Which means you want to use pick 4 on Kennedy? Or are you planning on parting with pick 4 for Wellingham?

Olisik is either Ben Kennedy himself or has one of the biggest man crushes on him in history. Every chance he gets he claims we need to draft him or he just throws him into the side as one of our picks. It's a little... creepy...

As for the topic - would love to have Wellingham at Melbourne.

I can't support a player called Sharrod

However we'll have to pay him at least 450 and I'm not sure he's worth that

We'd lose pick 13 which would be fair. Why do people mention Martin, not even Sydney could turn him into a serviceable player

Since there has been talk of Wellingham I have watched him closely and whilst he is a good player who works hard, he is a small fish in a big pond. I'm thinking he would be exposed like Des Headland was when he left the Lions.

Would not pay him big money, his disposal is not great and to be talking $600k, that is what the Saints have offered Goddard and Welingham certainly is not worth that.

I would ask the club to be cautious here

These words just gave me a horrid sense of deja vu: Daren Jolly! Hope we know what we are doing letting Martin go.

Especially given he was injured half the year and never had a run at full fitness!

One thing I will say about Sharrod Wellingham. He certainly does have a square head...

Carlton will make Cloke a huge offer. But I reckon Eddie's ego won't let him pass - he'll say we've just got to match it no matter what the cost. It's quite likely to hurt them. Wellingham is likely to get squeezed out and their cap will be so tight they'd probably prefer picks to players - they may not even be able to afford Martin. Straight swap for pick 13 could be their best option.

Pick 13 for Wellingham? I don't know how that will fall to us?

wouldn't the Bullies be interested? or GCSuns even(??)2

...the Pies may get a better return if Shee's K bob up north likes him. They may get a nice Comp' pick?

6. 2011 and 2012 post-season, AFL-listed player access:

GWS Giants to have capacity to pre-list 10 players who had previously nominated for the AFL Draft, or were previously listed with an AFL club. If the club does not sign 10 players after the 2011 season, it can sign the balance of up to 10 players at the end of the 2012 season.

GWS Giants to have capacity to sign up to 16 uncontracted players. Maximum of one player from other AFL clubs, unless a club agrees to trade more than one player to GWS Giants. If the club does not sign 16 uncontracted players after the 2011 season, it can sign the balance of up to 16 players at the end of the 2012 season.

Melbourne circles Sharrod Wellingham as Collingwood midfielder remains unsigned

We're all over him according to to Jon Ralph, which means he's probably headed anywhere but Melbourne, but read into it what you will.

Yeah it has no quotes or references to anyone in melbourne as to where they got the info! i'd say he's just looking for anything like rumours to get some quick $

I actually think he'd be a good player for us and I'd trust neeld to make the right call. Yes he plays in a team where he's a 2nd tier mid, but perhaps he'd thrive from being a key player? If neeld reckons he's worth the big money we should offer it to him. We have no choice but to trust neeld at this stage

    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
