We've heard a little bit about recruiting mature age prospects from the various State Leagues and I'm sure there will be more discussion in the weeks and months to come. The Giants have been given a big leg up by the AFL as part of the concessions made available to them to use the availability of State League players to improve their own list - Gun goalkicker Lee set for second AFL chance.

The Giants have the option to pre-list up to 10 players who have previously been on an AFL list or nominated for the draft and then on-trade them in the same manner that Collingwood snared Marty Clarke and Jamie Elliott last year.

It will be interesting if clubs avail themselves of this option given it requires an element of trust and GWS is involved.

With Melbourne on the lookout for some experienced State League talent to augment its midfield, there's a forgotten man named Ian Richardson playing for WAFL side Claremont who could become the next Ian Callinan.

- Fremantle swapped pick 39 for 44 to get Tendai Mzungu.

- Richmond swapped pick 14 for 15 to get Steven Morris.

- St Kilda swapped pick 20 for 25 to get Ahmed Saad and Terry Milera.

Huge opportunities to get pre-listed guys without having to gamble in the draft.

It's as easy as identifying said talent and getting him/them on-traded for as little as swapping draft picks.

I really hope this year MFC finally gets active.

GWS only have 1 prelisted player left as far as i know, so it will be valued or they may use it for themselves

Saad was a big miss in my opinion. Proven small forward which we are still crying out for and would have cost next to nothing. Any other smalls floating around in the vfl this season?

Minchington!!! He's a rookie with the Saints, played pretty well in the VFL and will never stop working and trying to improve. He's not in the top tier yet, but I would back him to get there.

Tim Mohr from Casey Scorpions was one. They kept him and put him on their senior list. Similarly, Giles and Clifton, I think.

Thought I heard somewhere it was 10 per year but it appears to be 10 for 2011/2012...

I guess that means it's a missed boat by the club, would more than likely have to pay serious overs to get their last pre-listed selection (if true).

Adelaide got Luke Brown with this during their MD escapades, Freo got Lee Spurr I believe so that takes it to at least 6 or so, Collingwood got Marty Clarke also.

Milera?

Saad?

Mohr

Clifton

Brown

Spurr

Clarke

Giles

Morris

is 9

I thought Mzungu was a year earlier not just this year or was he still a prelist?

The Saints never stop producing small forwards, so is he still rookied with them at the moment or was that in the past?

Just finished his first year of Rookiedom. However, I'm pretty sure the Rookie rules were changed a couple of years ago to allow them to be traded up to a spot on another club's main list.

Ian Richardson looks OK. Maybe he is just what Casey needs to smash Port Melbourne in next year's VFL Grand Final and install that winning culture that Neeld is seeking!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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.
