    I don't know how this became another Sylvia thread but I'll just quickly make the point the Mark Neeld specifically commented on how much improved Col's work rate was in the second half of the year. Considering Neelds philosophies I'm very happy to hear that.

    Back on Dawes, if the pies manage to squeeze out anything more from Melbourne they will have done very well. I do wonder whether Dawes's manager coming out and saying pick 20 should get it done played our hand too soon, it didn't really leave us with any middle ground to go to. I think most would agree that 20 is about right (if not a little over from us), but because that could have been our "compromising" offer that has now become our first offer. Thing is he's worth more to us than he is to collingwood, and they know it.

    Worst part is that the Pies might make us sweat for a while just to [censored] us off.

    20 and Petterd might be overs, but lets not kid ourselves; we need some more starting 22 forwards. Clark aside the forward line has been a revolving door. Green & Jurrah are gone, and Howe spends time in the midfield.

    I'm happy to get Dawes for pick 20 and petterd, but hope we havent offerd him the same coin as Clark

    Please don't say the source was the Facebook trades page.

    Having said that, I wouldn't be unhappy with this. Petterd hasn't shown much in a while.

    If Petterd kicks the winning goal against us on QB, I will have to do something reckless.

    on facebook now Trade Rumour: Chris Dawes to Melbourne. Pick 20 and Ricky Petterd to Collingwood.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
