Outstanding! Hogan will set up our forward line for the next decade once he debuts and Barry looks like a very nice player. To get him along with pick 20 is gold as that will be a good bargaining pick for another established player (Dawes). With pick four our only high pick left now it will surely be used on a player such as Wines/O'Rourke. Can't wait :) It's been a brilliant FA/trade period so far.

Keep it coming!

the only people who are disapointed about this trade are those who want to wait until 2020 for us to be any good. I think MFC have got the balance absolutley right this time. Going into this period any of us would have been happy with Viney @ 3, swap pick 4 for Hogan & another good mid at 13.

Now we have Viney, Hogan PLUS pick 4 (which sould secure us a long term gun player). I suspect we will chase Dawes too with 20.

This will give us a good mix of players who will make a differnce in 2013 and players who will be neck deep when we are pushing for finals.

Bravo MFC

PS. GWS are stockpiling young talent becasue they know 1/4 of them will get homesick and request to leave anyway.

Hmm... looking at the final arrangement on paper, it seems we -

Traded pick 3 in this draft for basically pick 3 in the next draft, in order to guarantee a player we were confident about and that really suited our needs, and with the bonus of getting to manage their final pre-AFL development year knowing that they would come to us.

Traded seven slots down the list in round 1 (moved 13 to 20) for a player tipped to go third roundish (or later), but who clearly has potential and we obviously like - Dom Barry, speedy agile guy.

That second part wouldn't be such a bad deal in itself, even without it being seen as a sweetener for GWS (who get something for nothing).

I'm comfortable, pick 20 is useful, there's still quite a few decent mids around there.

This also basically rules out giving up too much for Wellingham, or paying too much 'over' for Dawes if we still go for him. So not only are good things happening, but bad things are being nipped in the bud.

Adding to DemonWA's thought about GWS stockpiling talent because the know they will lose them - every extra pick we can jam down their throat now just increases the amount they will vomit back in four year's time when Tom Scully's contract squeezes them all out.

Dear GWS/AFL, thank you for paying for the development of our future players, and also the draft picks for Scully, lots of love, Melbourne Demons! :)

Knightmare over on BigFooty has Barry anywhere from 30 to rookie.

I like the trade. Ultimately you can break it in two...

- MD2 for Pick 3

- Pick 13 for Pick 20 and Barry - a 7-slot downgrade for Barry effectively.

There is a hint there, Barry is Indigenous, watch the video on the MFC site, I am over the moon, another sweet left foot, grunt with Viney and silk with Barry...could be anything

I am trying to sort this out in my head. Was Barry available in the draft? If yes, how do we know we have him - is he not available to other clubs? Or was he already on the GWS list in some way?

Not until 2014, I know O'Meara didn't count for the Suns this year and thus they have to delist an extra.

Thanks Striker..that makes sense. So someone with 1 year left on their contract might get a stay of execution this year (Mr. Morton?!)

AFL website has just answered my own question. Quote:

"Barry was zoned to GWS under the draft and player concession rules that gave the expansion club access to players from the Northern Territory who will be draft eligible by the time of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 drafts.""

Although he is available for this draft, he was formally attached to GWS and that is how they were able to use him in the Hogan trade. Well done Dees.

As i understand it GWS could pre-list NT players and then trade those player pre-draft. I think if not traded they then had the option of picking the player up pre draft. If they choose not add the player to their list hehen could put himself in the draft.

    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
