We must never Tip Toe around the big clubs. Do that and we die. We fight for the players we need.

Most star players don't leave solely for cash. Success or a shot at it will come into equation. If we were to win 10-12 games this year & the kids loooked good we'd have a case to make to DT.

Yes we can afford him. We can afford anyone if we want. We are lucky in a way because if we want a player all we need to do is drop some dead wood out of the cap to fit Thomas in. We don't have all au

And from what I keep reading from the journo's he wants Swan at the same club too. So they can play out their careers together.

Don't know how much of this is true. But if any club has the room for both their positions and salaries, it's definitely us.

Work your magic MFC. It's time for a new era of aggression :)

From the comments made by Daisy on AFL GaneDay, Daisy may be looking for another club. Two specific comments that intrigued me.

- Daisy "My signature will go on a piece of paper at some point", the he was asked with which club, to which Daisy replied "Thats the question"...

- Darcy asked the question "1.5m for 4 years at GWS ", Daisy replied, "sounds profitable". Surely MFC can offer $375k a year or more for Daisy. Daisy also said it sounds good and quickly brushed off the question.

Read what you will from it, but the MFC should be looking at acquiring Daisy, with Flash maybe playing his last season with MFC & even Sylvia as a RFA, things may open up.... If both player do leave MFC should really go after both Daisy & the Frenchman... Then again, they would have known about the OOC quite a while back.

I think the '1.5m for 4 years at GWS' = $1.5m per year not $1.5m total.

I suspect that you are on the money there! There is no way that we would collect him for $375K per annum.

Collingwood can't keep all these players without doing something dodgy IMO.

They would've freed up a bit of their cap by getting rid of Dawes and Wellingham.

But not enough of it to leave room for Thomas - who will command some serious coin.

Although, he has been injured and if he doesn't have a good year this year, Collingwood might play hard ball.

Then he could be open to a big offer.


I really don't think Daisy leave Vic as he is a Drouin lad and seems to get back here a fair bit.

But, realistically, big time players in the big, successful clubs are going to be hard for us to entice.

And think of the blockbuster impact of the old enemies playing with some new incentive to build up the spirit

Who knows we could pack out the G with [censored] off pies supporters

Couldn't agree more with MD.

Get the old Collingwood boys to start getting in his head and then have the club hit him with an offer he can't refuse along with leadership role etc etc.

That way he can pass on all that he has learn't at Collingwood to Viney, Toumpas and Jones. They have the speed and skills, just no leadership.

Not knocking anyone involved in the midfield at Melbourne, but better clubs absolutely crap all over us.

"Better" clubs?

The entire league smothers Melbourne's midfield. We are below GC, and maybe even below GWS some days.

    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

    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
