The only way that this trade makes ANY sense to me is if Collingwood give their first round pick as well in the deal. Or some other combination of pick swapping. Surely MFC is not stupid enough to consider this otherwise. Surely.

I would be furious. 2 average players for a high pick. That pick is to be used for real special talent only. I could live with 13 for both. No one else wants Dawes and we seem to be treating him like

Good result for Wellingham joining WCE, a club whose traditional culture should suit him right down to the ground.

Marked. I think it's overs but I could live with that.

Likewise, 13/14 for Wellingham and Martin for Dawes. 13/14 for Wellingham is overs but Stef for Dawes is about right. Would make big Q their FF and Stef their back up ruck, which if I was I Pies fan I'd prefer. Lynch doesn't have the mobility to be their back up ruck and would be much more useful to them on the lead.

I'll take that deal.

Don't fall for it. Obviously wishful thinking from Collingwood!

No,No! a thousand times NO! We MUST get two high quality young MID FIELDERS in this draft. Nothing less will do. Wellingham has proven ability and could be useful, BUT, if Melbourne doesn't interest him then he can move back to the West and join the Weagles.

Dawes and welli will be at MFC this week. Pick 13 and stef Martin.

Mark my words

So that's you on record stating pick 4 for Caddy and pick 13 and Martin for Dawes and Wellingham?

13 and Martin for Dawes and Wellingham I could get used to...

PS I'd hate to have you part of my crew if we were in the mob. You'd be known as "Timmy the Squeeler" lol

Geoff Walsh has confirmed that the MFC has put pick 4 on the table for Dawes and wellingham!

When and where did he confirm that?

I still don't get why we would force Wellingham to come to Melbourne when he doesn't want to?

What's the point?

We are a joke if we trade pick 4 for these two.

It reeks of short term gain to bolster Neeld's win-loss ratio. What a disgrace.

It was on one of the Facebook trade pages claiming that Geoff Walsh has confirmed thismorning the only Place I can think he may have actually confirmed this is SEN or another radio station perhaps?

No Way. Not even if we don't have to use pick 3 on Viney. if we do this I'll be mad as hell. It does smell of desperation.

This is absolute lunacy, and IF confirmed as in above info from Jonesbag and in link to another thread "Is your support of MFC unconditional"?

Not if this trade ensues!

What is going on?

He simply said Melbourne were interested, did not mention pick 4 whatsoever.

That makes more sense cheers

So many seem jumpy and adding 3 and 5 and getting 27

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
