Woweeee still not on the list. Who was gonna play instead of rodan in those games he played? What an injured taggert? Tynan? Or you are a magner sympathiser? Gonna blame neeld for him too?

In your quickness to have a crack at me you failed to realise that I was not having a go at Rodan and his recruitment at all.

Should we be looking at Jurrah as a rookie?

No

We should forget about Jurrah unless he shows some serious signs of being ready to dedicate himself to AFL again and strings together some very good form in the VFL. Otherwise, no chance.

There would seem very little downside to listing him as a rookie, IF Roos assess him as having appropriate application and dedication.

first time post guys so go easy i think it is a must to trade pick 2 for adams and gws's compo pick to draft freeman and then use pick 20 on dunstan if he slides

welcome b&ritH.

I like your thinking

but is Adams available to Us? I've almost given up hope of getting this deal thru. he or his management has made no noises about whether he would come to the Dees.

Frankenstein may well turn out to be "damaged goods" and end up poisoning the young GW$ list. They are welcome to him, IMO.

Spot on Belzebubsy, the AFL caves in to pressure regarding our priority pick and yet there's always some small print available to GWS that enables them to squeeze another top liner into their team. Can you imagine the All Star line up they'll have by 2016. Sure, no one in Western Sydney will give a flying flock about them but we will be force fed a diet of what a great achievement it is.

RTG don't stir me up! According to Vlad we have an ample seam of young kids on our list, a big kid who has not played an AFL game, a father son and Jimmy T. Gee that look out Hawks! We need help, a second round priority was a minimum I thought. But no it's GWS that gets it all. They have already passed us for heaven sacks but still they get more. Scully on a squill ion and now it looks like Buddy on two squillion. Is there anything more we can do for them?

Not a bad scenario B&R Head. GWS need to reduce their list, and this effectively does that by 1 and upgrades them for a compo and and a player that was going to leave anyway. The issue is, does Adams want to become a Dee and what is his asking price? Personally, I'd also prefer Couch to Freeman. However, welcome aboard the SS Madhouse.

Stress less old fella. Jonesy will be a Dee for a long time yet - there isn't anything we'd take from Geelong for him that they'd offer up.

He is also possibly in line for the captaincy. Nate bleeds for the club, he won't be going anywhere.

Hate it, D. :P

And sounds like really big rubbish!

As many thought when he first reported Paul Roos to the Dees as a done deal. .

Not saying it's going to happen, but with Bolton, Mattner, Morton and probably Mumford and White coming off the books, that would clear some space in the cap.

You are being too cryptic for me. What is the meaning of your hieroglyphics?

we got penalised for list managing last summer prior to the 2013 season. the same list managing that nearly all other clubs did as well, even if they did it more stealthily.

they way I see it, all the commissions outcomes are all done with a great deal of massaging an outcome. & virtually No public notice of the actioning.

I feel Sure we are being watched over since 12 months ago, & I feel sure some things will drop into our hands, all things being equal?

we'll have to await, & see what transpires. but I reckon/hope we will come out of things OK.

a theory, time will tell.

    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
