Why are people still bringing up Adams when he has CLEARLY said Melbourne is not in his destinations list. We were never going to get him and never will.

    Just like we were never going to get Roos

    It'd be a big call, GV.

    I'd certainly give away pick 2 for Shiel. Actually, I'd add a sweetener if it got the deal done. Shiel is quality. Aish is also quality, but Shiel is mature and we know he can do it in the big time.

    If Shiel is contracted, we might need to give a little bit extra to get the deal done.

    Put yourself in the shoes of GWS. Shiel has come to you expressing an interesting in heading back to Victoria. His manager informs you that Melbourne has put forward a very lucrative contract offer. You don't want to keep an unhappy player and see this as an opportunity to either get a mature player or spread the demographic of your young picks. What would you ask for? And what would you settle for?

    under no circumstances will tmac be traded. Far too important. Can think of about 20 blokes I would send first

    Can we send them all at once?

    I think GWS would be looking for the flexibility of pick 2. They could use pick 2 to trade on to other clubs for players that they'd want.

    I think that McDonald's value to us would be higher than GWS, purely from an off field/culture POV. I don't think that they'd be happy to do a swap of McDonald for Shiel.

    From a Melbourne perspective, I would do the deal. I love McDonald, but I think that the ceiling of Shiel is far higher as a damaging, goal kicking midfielder is far higher. The problem is that I would find it very hard to release a really good person from our club when we are trying to build a strong culture.

    If I was GWS I would be asking for Frawley.

    Pick 2 for Shiel.

    Maybe Jetta as sweetener.

    I think that's probably right. If McDonald is the best we can/are willing to offer them, then they're probably more likely to want Pick 2, which will open doors to other clubs and other players which probably exceed McDonald's worth.

    I wouldn't call that a "sweetener."

    I'd call that a "bitterer."

    Having McDonald made the transition easy when Rivers departed. He and Chip are both required to play on the big men, Garland again showed this year his flexibility to play on a number of differant types of players effectively. These three down back plus our forwards being fit are crucial to us being competitive. Now if Watts is in the midfield he's on a wing with Toumpas on the other so the Swans can stick their offer. I haven't seen a lot of Shiel but if he's good to go lets get him. We can become more competitive quicker than most think.

    I hope we get him and a pick or exchange of picks so our pick 20 goes to 13 or what ever their mid pick is.

    Screw em over!

    You would assume "talks starting" really means we've been talking to Shiel's management for some time and we've offered him a pretty attractive contract and now it's a matter of whether GWS is prepared to let a contracted player leave.

    If we got greedy and GWS bit I'd love Bugg. Reckon he could really add something to our list.

    Completely different scenario Mgdee. Roos didn't rule out coaching all year and actually chatted to us and showed intrest.. Adams Wants nothing to do with us at all. There are 5 clubs that are his preferred destination before Melbourne so highly doubt he will get through to 5 clubs before coming to us. Get this through your head if he doesn't want to even speak to us DONT bother with him then..

    • 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.
