bahaha as if Roos would coach Melbourne

nah man, you did it all wrong. Roos was always a candidate. His contracts finished at the right time. And the rumours were very strong.

Kennedy recently signed a 4 year contract with the Swans and this is a rumour based upon "bullying".

Come on man, you are so much better than that.

Are on holiday but I hear from a contact that Hogan is loving the direction of the club.

There's a strong rumour that the Trade/Draft Rumour Mill thread has turned into a wishlist thread and there's no actual rumours in it at all ...

Lol with howes current achievements and the number of grabs he has taken, your willing to back the chance he will amount to nothing? Your kidding yourself. I'm simply saying kennedy is not worth pick 9 and Howe.

Lol don't twist my words. I didn't say Howe would amount to nothing, I said that Howe is not a star and no where near the player Josh Kennedy is.

I'd much rather 30 touches with 6 clearances a game over a speccy every couple of weeks.

Lol at people wanting trade Toumpas..! Seriously go back to demonology!

If it was Toumpas for Kennedy, absolutely. Kennedy is everything and more that we hope Toumpas becomes. If the opportunity comes to trade unproven talent, for a proven talent coming into his prime, you wouldn't think twice.

I'm a Toumpas fan, don't get me wrong, but to turn your nose up at the proposition of trading him for a superstar is just silly.

Player? Sydney would need a ruck I guess (with Mumford and White gone) so Jamar? Spencer?

*with the size of the SCG, less running involved, I think it would suit Gawny.

*they could use a high mark up front.

*also a speedy player that still needs to build on his engine, so the short SCG would allow him some space/width to work in, & help him to get valuable games experience whist still building his endurance.

..... maybe some of these may help.

*can we interrupt the Saints anyone, re the Longer deal before it goes thru ?

Exactly this.

I like the Toump and Howey and think they will both become serious players but if the opportunity was to present itself for one of the top 10 midfielders in the game then I would take it everytime. I only use those two as examples as they are the few we have with currency.

As for Chip, would be the same. Yes he is a star and yes I adore him but what would people prefer, the best midfield in the league or the best backline?

I wrote this a couple pages ago, JPK was number 1 in clearances, number 1 in handballs and number 4 in possessions. Also kicks goals and has a ridiculously smoking missus.

I think the chances are less than 1% but it's a great debating topic on what people would give up.

Me, I'd give up all but Viney (as he would refuse to leave anyway) and Hogan. All else are just surplus assets in relation to getting this man.

mate GNF has told his source has verified it, we know that GNF is not a carptalker.. therefore to me this is NOT a rumour but a real thing that is happening and a chance of coming therough.. GNF's post is the only thing in this thread that has me genuinely interested because he staright up has the runs on the board

I don't think Sydney want a ruckman as they have Pyke and Tippet. They may want a young ruckman but that's about it.

a goal kicking ruck like Gawn who plays forward would rotate like a dream with Tippet

& a speedster like Blease would develop better up there, after a lot of heartache for him over the last 5 years, might just be the tonic he needs?

agreed

I love Howey but for a top-shelf bona fide midfielder we could be looking at finals next year deadset

Maverick Weller is looking for a new home and a couple of clubs are talking to him, anyone know our level of interest in him?

He's pretty average... Doubt that he's really worth a look, have enough C grade midfielders waiting in the wings

Interesting, the player manager I often get my news from told me at the start of the week that we were pursuing another person from Sydney 'very actively'. Said player was not keen on the direction of the club.

Was very secretive about it, but I gathered from that it was another player from GWS, but given the facts that may or may not be true it could change everything!! I'll pretend I have no idea and run with this GWS player and see what I can pry. Keep us informed though GNF, your info at the moment is elite!

I love the idea of getting Kennedy, he would be a huge get but i think he would also cost a huge amount,

we land him we are suddenly looking at top 8 next year.

    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

    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.
