the only thing holding this up , Pedersen to Dees , is the Roos having some ridiculous idea that hes worth a much higher pick ( to us ) and in so forward that pick on to Port as part of the Ben Jacobs deal.

Who gives a flying proverbial or cares about North ffs. personally I reckon the Roos are dreaming...isnt that right Dale !!

    It is just staggering how pick 49 would not suffice for a 25 year old who played 2 games this season. Pederson has showed some promise but not getting a game ahead of Aaron Edwards, Robbie Tarrant and no-names like Delaney, Black etc. is a bit concerning.

    We went early on Byrnes and watered down our compo.

    We paid overs for Dawes (pick 20 should have been more than enough but some turkey put pick 13 on the table for Dawes and forced our hand).

    Don't pay overs again Melbourne. We'll get 3-4 years out of Pederson. Pick 33-38 could deliver a 10 year midfielder, like (we all hope) Taggart is, and Sellar can play a similar swing man role.

    Think that trade was detailed on the Facebook page but we threw in Bennell too. So effectively we gave up Martin, Bennell and 49 and recieve Pedersen and Ray. Pretty good deal I reckon.

    if North are playing hard ball then lets just walk away. They need to offload him more than we need to get him i would say. They will come crawling back when they need the extra pick for whatever other deals they need to get done. I would focus our attention on getting Ray.

    FFS who is Pederson seriously? if Hamish Mcintosh is worth pick 36 then why are we suddenly prepared to part with something similar for this guy. I'm all for getting him but only for pick 45+ max.

    I'm amused by the logic that we should limit ourselves to pick 45+ because you don't know who he is.

    Maybe Martin & Pick 63 for 33. Assuming that Pick 63 is one that Brisbane would use?

    Why have we all got so crazy about getting this 26 year old Werribee player?

    I know that other clubs wouldnt be prepared to give up a second round pick for him isnt that enough?

    I could say the same thing about the fascination of picks in the 40s and 50s.

    'He's not worth 44, but maybe 45... 46 you say? Heavens, that a steal!'

    Because some DL's have seen a two minute utube video of his hightlights and "wow" this bloke can play

    I could put up a utube video of Juice Newton's highlights and guess what.....DL's would be wanting to grab him at pick 33.......

    No, not really. His value may be more to us than it would be to other clubs, or it could be that there are varying opinions of his ability. It's not as black and white as saying he spent the year in the VFL therefore he's not worth anything. I'm not saying I would or wouldn't pay a second round pick, just saying you need to look at the entire picture.

    I am going to go out on a limb and say that the one thing that has changed at the Melbourne football club in the last year is that we have worked towards creating a system where we can better develop the players that come to the club.

    Misson, Craig and a suite of assistant coaches who have come from clubs that have a good track record with developing players to enter the afl system will nodoubt have an impact on our ability to develop players like never before. If this puts us on a path to become a bit more like Sydney and Geelong then I'd like to think that we can begin to trust that we will get the most out of players no matter where we have come from.

    I am sure that initially some of the draft selections that Sydney and Geelong have made in the past have been highly scrutinized by their supporters. Richards, Mcglynn, Mattner at Sydney. J Pod at Geelong. People laughed when the Pies took Brown and what did people have to say about Gunston who played almost purely in the SANFL in 2010?

    I think our game plan is on the move and we are seeking people like Pederson and Ray to play a very specific role. Sorry long winded answer to your question.

    Because the "Best of Juice" was not even worthy of someone wasting time to record it.

    That's why we are going after a Werribee player. At least he can kick a ball straight consistently.

    By the way. Happy Anniversary to me.

    I have been a D'Lander for 1 insane year.

    Who said I wouldn't last.

    How many posts have you made in the Gysberts thread ? You know, the one about the Scorpion player.

    Deal faltering through North's greed -

    Trade wrap: 3 days to go.

    We look elsewhere for a third up forward.

    I'd say that provided we get the deal done with martin going to the lions which now seems more likely as he has had an interview with them, we will get pedersen over to the dees. Hopefully we would get pick 33 for martin but if we get a pick around 45+ we may need to bundle that with our other pick, 49.

    If they want to pay his contract as he languishes in the VFL, good on them.

    They don't want him and don't play him but want a top draft pick to trade him, yeah right, next.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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.

      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?
