They can't, f/s bidding happens next Monday in which GC will still be in posession of pick 2. Viney can only go to Melbourne, GWS or GC.

Another AFL assisted Club raid - Scully and Tippett. Crows have had worst run than us, Bock, Davis & now Tippett - all funded by the AFL

Any mature recruit we get will a have a sense of the mercs about them. Even if it is only a perception. Look at Clark - we know how invested he is in the place, but the perception remains that he is

"And the Crows are learning of a third club - one based in Melbourne rather than AFL premier Sydney - that has joined Queensland-based clubs Gold Coast and Brisbane in seeking the 25-year-old giant."

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... Let's hope Tip has a bit of Mitch Clark syndrome when it comes to his homesickness cure

Think it said a major melbourne club. We are not that.

Slow down people. Think this through. Tippett is leaving a club that came within 1 kick of a GF. Why? He has mates there. They have offered him a very large contract. The word is that Lions and GC have offered a bit less, but his reason for leaving was to go home. Now we have Carlton and Sydney mentioned. Is it not possible that he is going home, but his manager is using other clubs to get more money from GC or Lions.

My prediction is he will be playing in Queensland and probably GC, for pick 2, or a player and a lower pick that they might get for Caddy. GC will then use pick 2 on Jack Martin and won't nominate JV.

If Adelaide get their hands on Pick 2, they will definitely nominate Viney!!

Why not Grundy, as a replacement for Tippett?

I don't think they will go a tall as they brought in Jenkins last year to cover for Tippett plus they also have McKernan. Toumpas is a top quality kid ready to go, not saying Grundy isn't but they already have Jacobs (still a young player and stiff to miss AA) doing the ruck work and being used as a forward pinch hitter in the ruck would not help his (Grundy's) development. Rucks need to ruck, the WC situation is different as Cox is coming to the end, it's a succession plan and both him and Niknat are handy up forward, Jacobs is not.

I just don't think it's a given that they would go with Grundy, it looks right as a replacement and they may well go that way but Toumpas would be hard to pass up. To me he is at least on par with Whitfield and I hope he falls through to us, I've been on about us getting him since last year.

They wont get pick 2 for Tippet that is massive overs, it will be something like Gorringe and a second round pick imo.

edit maye the pick they get for Caddy will be more apporopriate but something like that Gorringe and a pick between 10-20

He is 203 cm, 25 years old, normally plays between 18-22 games a year, kicks around 40-50 goals per year, maybe bit low on his accuracy, reliable to take the number one defender every time, Adelaide paying him around 600K per year - but he is "inconsistent"????

I would have thought he might be poorly understood in Victoria - but highly sought after in Queensland - strange. Geez if this bloke played in a Collingwood jumper and was a Victorian, there would not be a club in Victoria that would not be after him.

that's true. a footnote at 25 he's still maturing.

Why not offer them Lawrence and our 5th round draft pick ? You do realise that the crows have put a contract on the table that will earn him in the vacinity of $700K per year. Does that sound like a player you would nab for Bate and a second round draft pick ?

Direct trade for Cook :-))

How's Adelaide's development (and then subsequent loss) of talented KPPs been.

In recent years they've lost Bock, Otten, Gunston and now Tippett (off the top of my head) and they still have blokes like Rutten, Talia and Walker running around for them.

I rated their list very highly a couple of years ago, they really have been unlucky, especially with the expansion clubs.

    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
