...and I don't think they will be chasing him with serious money. They have their defence covered now and have a lot of mouths to feed to keep the team together.

...and they're talking of a new deal for Gazza beyond 2015. He''ll be getting a lot of the groceries.

I'm annoyed no one's started pillaging GCS yet. Given they've started their rise, I think the time has past. GWS are still open to raids though. Enter, Dylan Shiel.

Bluey McKenna is a massive fan of Chip, and while he may not get massive dollars from them he is every chance of spending the next 5 years playing regular finals which I think is what he will leave for, regular finals.

I think it's because their selections have either been huge successes, or just plain failures.

Plus GWS, by virtue of the mini-draft and subsequent trades, had access to more elite young talent than they could accommodate, much moreso than GCS.

I'd be very happy if we make a run at Prestia and he now sees that MFC is a viable option, but I also think GCS will want far too much for him. He's a good player, but do you want to give them JKH? Or Salem? McDonald? If they'd even be enough.

A top 10 pick alone will not get it done.

Plus, Roosy has never been the type to trade away players, mostly just picks.

Anyone know how long Prestia has on his contract?

I've a feeling he probably has another 2 or 3 years to run.

Young Lonegan is a good player currently not getting a run at the suns, not sure if he is injured but he would certainly be a good pickup, former top ten pick, hard tough tall inside midfielder.

My Prestia hope is nothing more than that. It's a pipe dream. I hope we land him one day, but it's not particularly likely.

The time was last year but he re-signed with the Suns for 3 years. Can't see him going anywhere now and I'm more than happy with Tyson who we probably wouldn't have been able to get had we gone after Prestia. Wouldn't say no if he wanted to come though and his family are coterie members of MFC.

maybe we can trade involving Fyfe for Pencil and an astute draft pick trade?

Errr, wut?

The draft picks you'd have to add to Jake Spencer to secure Nat Fyfe are picks 1 and 2. He's likely to be the best player in the game for the next 8 years! He's worth pick 1 and James Frawley.

I think the Hawks are possibly in a worse position than the Cats (past this year), they've got this year to get it done or they drop back. Too many over 30's now and they need to regenerate the list.

As Nathan Buckley can tell Chip, it's sometimes hard to pick winners.

Free agent 'hogan', there is nothing to get done.

not so sure about the Hawks, their lists may be similar, but I'm not sensing that the Hawks are tired or stale.

the Cats look tired, the senior team, although their hanging on near the top to this point?

just an observation, it may turn around. or they may have to speed up the transition to youth. but the cats guns are getting caught out a lot more than normal.

Prestia is my main hope to get ahead of any others, fyfe or gaff or parker.

he is a dynamo around the packs built into a mighty mouse body. his agility & strength would fit perfectly into our mids.

I would be happy enough, if we happened to get Prestia; but lost Frawley.

Is Shiel out of contract this year? He looked very good last year and seemed to have stepped up again in the NAB Challenge games this year before losing his spot due to injury. He is a hard at it mid with a bit of mongrel who can find the goals, if he's available I'd be interested in discussing his value with GWS.

In a NAB cup game earlier this year he kicked a couple of goals from outside 50 and I thought he was going to do a lap of honour, he seemed to be pretty pleased with himself.

I think he might be one of the ones we should avoid at all costs, could be wrong.

James Frawley will be a one club player like his uncle

Hes going nowhere

Frawley for Fyfe, straight swap

Roosy and Rossy, get it done fellas

WTF?

Do you want him to stay or go?

I don't know what the general consensus is for Dylan Shiel, but I for one would love him at the Dees and be willing to part with our first round pick for him. I feel he would have an immediate impact to the team much like Tyson. Shiel is an inside and outside ball user with a big body, great speed and a midfielder capable of kicking goals.

What im optimistic about is that there is going to be a few GWS and Suns players who may wajtbto come home to Victoria, and we all of a sudden become an attractive prospect, with a good couch and exciting team.

A great couch would be hard to turn down for any up and coming player.

Roos signs for year #3 and we'll have no problem getting good players. Not a shred of negative media about our club at the moment, everyone seems to have fallen in love with what our list is doing, and we have a clear direction whereas GWS have none.

If I was a player at GWS, I'd be looking at MFC as the club on the up - a club I want to be a part of.

I really think we are the club on the upward spiral, hopefully we continue putting in effort until the end of season.

If we had Mitch Clark and Hogan fit, we'd of made finals this year.

I might be one eyed, but I'd expect great improvement coming into next year, if we trade right, we could do serious damage - maybe even top 6.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
