Seems like we are hanging onto our duds until after the trade period in the hope someone will be stupid enough to trade for them or take them as free agency to boost our compensation. Not happening though.

yeah it's a good idea if thats what they're doing, better to wait and see if someone wants them rather than let them go for nothing before this period and have someone get them for nothing. Gotta get whatever we can for them.

Yeah - I thought he looked a real player in his debut years. So much so that I remember these words coming out of my mouth

"You could build a side around Bate" (cringe)

I love Bater but really aren't too proud of this statement now. Please disregard any of my future predictions about players.

NowWeKnow I once said that Cale Morton reminded me of a taller version of Robbie Flower. That was a few years ago and I'm still washing my mouth with out soap

Thanks mate - I feel a little bit better.

This is probable worth a thread of its own - "Your worst predictions"

As this is a Bate thread, let me just say that I think the club did him, and itself, a diservice by not letting him go to the bullies for whatever trade.

He was told he was a wanted player, presumably in the mid-field. WTF?

In all likelihood he will now be delisted, and he has played his last game. When he could have a year or 2 extra, and us a rd3? pick.

Just saying. :wacko:

Does anyone else remember I think it was Round 5 2006 v Geelong at the G we started terrible but came back really strong think it was our second win on the trot after being 0-3 and we went on a roll winning 6 or 7 before losing to Meth Coast at Subi with Judd on fire.

That Cats game and for a period there with Bater, Dunn and Jones breaking into the side we had a very good ballance of young and old and Bate looked really good. Shame he never really reached consistent form

MasturBate is too slow.

We watched him this year when he played in the mid-field.

Against players like swan, and Boyd.

He was given the opportunity.

And enough is enough.

The truth hurts.

I would only say this about a Melbourne player on the internet.

I remember Brent Stanton being booed by his Essendon supporters.

Not cool.

Time to go mastur'bate'

bate was told by bailey that he wouldnt get a game because they wanted games into Watts (who Bailey saw as a CHF). Bate was then retained by Neeld to play in the midfield. Its been an epic fail for mine and sadly I think the bater wont be a dee next year.

What's your take on Sellar? Pederson coming in as a tall utility and all?

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
