Tippett is arguably the best player on offer this year and is exactly who we need standing at CHF. Combined with Clark, we would just about have the best forward duo in the league.

Why are we going after a bloke (Dawes) that can't do anything other than run around like a headless chook, when a more complete player is ready to be made an offer.

It's well documented that we have a lot of spare salary so why not spend it on a player that has proven himself to be what we need rather than average players that 'might' become something.

Its time to stop 'experimenting' and DO SOMETHING!

Yes he is most likely to head home, but for us not to at least make an offer is a big mistake.

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

Won't help those alleged threats to him (pathetic thing to do), but watching the Swans you can't blame him for wanting to go there. They seem to have something special, and getting him will be a massive boost to Sydney's chances next year.

Is there anyone from the Swans we could look at in order to assist their trade?

As long as we crack the Sydney market and "grow the business" etc then who cares.

As long as morons from AFL states fund the venture.

Spot on I would be filthy if I were a crow fan. If the reports that Sydney are willing to cough up 900k a year for him are true he will be the 2nd most over paid player in the league. If tippet is worth that then buddy is worth 1.5 million a year.

I'd love to get Dan Hannebery back to Melbourne, but pick 13 wouldn't be enough and pick 4 is too much. And why would he want to leave such a great club ?

Pick 13 plus which player ?? Col ?

Anyway, a pipe dream.

Power move by the Swans to 'sign' a player that they have no hope of getting without organising a trade...

We will see.

Seems a bit of airhead to me to think he can tell the Crows 'nah, the Premiers instead thankz, Luv TipDog'...

Going to be very interesting to see how Tippett actually gets to the swans.

They have the lowest draft picks to offer, they can't get him in the draft if Adelaide refuses to trade.

But more interesting will be the 'renown' bloods culture. The only way to secure Tippett will be to offload some players ... curious to know how strong that culture is when it is likely that they will have to give up some serious sort of player in order to get Tippett. I can't see Adelaide agreeing to anything less than one of their top 10 players off of the list.

Are the swans prepared to damage their culture by being required to trade away a player potentially of the class of Hannebery, Jetta, Rohan or Kennedy.... Because that is what they will need to do to satisfy Adelaide. Bringing in a third party I don't think will help either, as the third party is going to want a quality 'premiership' player as well.....

If the culture is as good as it is, why would any of these players want to leave, the club just won a premiership, they are likely to be on a better salary due to the extra cap,..

I'd be tempted to do pick 4 for hannebry

We would do that in a heartbeat. 29 disposals in a GF at 21 years of age.

We would be dreamin'

Or maybe it is because of the million dollar offer on the table?

This is going to be interesting and will potentially cause a logjam.

If he is willing to move to Sydney, then you would think he would be willing to move to Melbourne?

It could be a long couple of weeks.

I love Hannebery, but I wouldn't.

Although I acknowledge that the club probably would. It's something the club would consider if they can get Viney in the second round.

I don't want to waste too much time on this one, but I would be all over Hannebery like a fat kid on a cupcake if there were any chance of landing him.

The thought of having he and Viney leading our midfield for the next ten years...

    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

    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
