    What possible trade options are there? Any players? Pick 23 or 30?

    Pick 30 please.

    Or mid with a bit of experience...

    Give me a sec...

    Pick 30 please.

    23 to much to ask? I was always of the opinion that a straight swap for Dawes would seem a fate trade for both parties and obviously we paid pick 20 +

    how about Moloney ?

    (stupidest thing I have posted but not the dumbest thing I have seen on here)

    What about Hanley, Hawksley, or Banfield?

    Proabably not going to get Redden or Rich...

    Would like Banfield and a late pick swap

    Pick 43 will do if that gets us the pedo.

    Hawksley has been delisted I think. Hanley wouldnt be bad and not sure on banfield. They look to have a few picks to play with and are happy enough to recruit mature players my guess would be pick 23 (great for MFC) or 30 (more likely)

    Play hardball... Rich or no deal.

    I just saw someone say play Frawley in the midfield, so not the dumbest thing today anyway

    Might as well demand the 01-03 Premierships while we're at it.

    Ok, I'll go with that... add them to the list ;-)

    Yes, and Voss to un-retire and come to us as a 22 year old.

    You don't ask you demand like the Pies did. You want Martin, pick 23 is the price.

    Gee, can you arrange it?

    Ok redleg I'll let em know!

    Grimes and gys running together - very good sign. Can't see Gys getting traded if he's running with the captain. Not enuf value to trade - too much up side that needs a full preseason. Good move, good leadership Jack.

    Keep please. (I did say please...)

    Well Grimes was in full team training kit, while Gys was just in a white T-Shirt - not that I'd read into that.

    Yes, but I will need a toothpick, some rubber bands, half a tyre and Richard Dean Andersen.

    And a time machine...

    I like hearing this - wouldn't mind if Gys was 'glued' to Grimesy this offseason. Like the Gys - from an outside point of view looks like he needs to do some hard yards, would love to see him play well in the red and blue

    Sounds like Martin will be traded - Im not unhappy about that

    Pretty sure they'd laugh & tell us to keep him.

    A loss for us when pick 30 would be a win and their later pick would be breaking even. IMO.

    Martin is contracted for 2013, so a trade assumes that he is prepared to move to the Sunshine State. May be reluctant given his studies? I'd love to get pick 23 for him, but I doubt that even Brisbane would be silly enough to play that game.

    I reckon pick 30 is great value for Stefan, considering we got him off the rookie list and he isn't a regular part of the team now. Lets let someone else get enticed by his athleticism and potential, and have the opportunity to grab another young prospect.

    I just don't see us needing Martin any longer. Not with what Spencer showed late last year, nor Sellar's play. Not to mention the fact that we've still got Gawn and even Fitzpatrick to play in the ruck.

    If pick 30 is on the table, we should be accepting that straight away.

  • Quote

    Yeah pick 30 would be great, but 43 is more likely. Just a gut feeling.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
