If a player doesn't want to join us because we don't win enough, and it isn't going to be smooth sailing- then in my eyes that automatically rules them out of contention for a spot on the list. On account of them not having the kind of ethos we are looking for to rebuild our culture.. how ironic!

That's me off the Wellingham bandwagon.

I didn't actually see anything in that article quoting Wellingham; I only saw a few words from his manager. I doubt Wellingham has made any specific comments regarding the Dees, but imagine that perhaps he told his manager that the only move he is prepared to make is to the west, otherwise he would prefer to stay put at the Pies.

    I think his point was 'stop worrying about whether we're getting mids through FA/trade week, we have our own'.

    I don't necessarily agree, but I see his argument.

    Cos our mids did so stunningly well this year (and last year and the year before that.....)

    Our midfield is our weakest link by so far it isn't funny. Unless we fix it pronto we all be rooned.

    Don't know why we are so annoyed at what a player manager says - I instinctively dislike everything they say. I mean - Lynch, Pickering, Nixon - these people would be loan sharks in another life.

    Interested to see what happens when he meets with Neeld and Craig, sees AAMI Park and we shatter some misconceptions that thrive out in Eddiewood.

    Isn't he going to the USA with Buddy?

    I think we will be lucky to even get an audience from him

    Wouldn't have a clue. I do know that Trade Week doesn't end for another 24 days and that IT HASN'T STARTED YET.

    So maybe something can be done later...

    Given Neeld was coaching him last year we prob don't need to interview him.

    Given Pies need to free cap space (after cloke and Lynch deals) we need to deal with them (i.e. what would we trade).

    If both of those are ticks Sharron is coming to the MFC wheather he meets us or not. He ain't no free agent.

    Seriously how many times must it be said don't believe everything journos write and get your heads around manager's saying certain things to maintain face and trying to get the best deal for their player.

    Meth Coast have not offered Sharrod a lot more financially than Collingwood, Freo have said no thanks to paying big money for him, Collingwood need to find room in their cap and will have already worked out a figure they can afford.

    Nowhere is it directly quoted I don't want to go to Melbourne because they have no winning culture. He has not met with us so does not know the offer we will put to him

    His manager does not want him to come across as a mercenary so says something along the lines of Sharrods decision will be all about money, remaining at a succesful club with a strong culture will play a big part in his decision.

    It's not that difficult to figure out FFS

    His manager did seem emphatic that he didn't want another Victorian side, but that could all just be in the game....

    So I am hoping we can swing something here and secure Wellingham in the trading period.

    C'mon Demons..The Pies have spent all their $$$

    Get him...

    Why do you want him?

    It's like musical chairs.

    When the music stops and Sharrod hasn't got a seat, he loses comes to the MFC.

    :huh:

  • Quote

    Why do you want him?

    he is a good midfielder with a great defensive game.

    I rate him.

    I'm glad you said that WYL so many talking him up as a gun, which he is far from. Tends to butcher it a bit but has good defensive qualities, runs hard, spreads and provides options as well as doing the 1%ers.

    Good fit for the right price

    Plus he has shown an ability to step up when he has more responsibility which is very important imo.

    the type of player Moloney didn't become.

    Neeld would want him i am sure for the right price.

    well well Wellingham !!!

    not as loved as youd hoped huh

    Doors closing on Wellingham

  • Quote

    I reckon we are in the box seat now if can offer him enough dosh

  • Quote

    Well youd think we only need trump teh original deal the Filth were offering. somewhere in the middle of that, and whatever Sharrod 'thinks' he's worth. lol Maybe a $1m over 3 ?? with options etc

    still could be interesting.. as a hypothetical Dawes and Byrnes into teh forward line to assist Mitch, Sharrod and Viney into the middle to help out Jonesy and crew.

    Suddenly youre a lot less shabby as a team :)

    Yes exactly....and not forgetting a Toumpas or Wines, as well as another preseason into the likes of blease,Tapscott,Watts,Trengove and Grimes.

    Id be curious to know how Brown and Neeld rate young Sharrod.

    What with Taylor coming on board and the possibility of 2 pies joining the club there's more than a bit of Filth around the place ...

    who are we again !!!! lol

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
