I'm very impressed how well the guys are playing this. I expect nothing more from PR and PJ. We are in expert hands for a change....

It's a nice feeling isn't it?

Still hard to believe though.

    Wasn't there talk that Essendon players could break their contracts and walk as a free agent to their club of choice? If try why not offer Myers a good contract to leave and nominate us for free. Once the free agent window is closed so we get our compo. do Sylvia out. In Myers and Band 3 or 4 compo?

    By far the worst trade period in history.. Not for Melbourne but AFL in general.

    Dont actually agree. A littel long winded but its like a game of 3D chess played out as a 3 act play. A lot of things get lined up for that last week . Almost like the horses turning for the home straight in the cup, then its on for young and old...lol.

    About to get interesting

    Playing it safe my friend, clearly something is going to happen but it has been bloody quiet so far

    We could get Myers on board but Essendon wont accept Pick 20 for him. I'm pretty convinced of that. If they wont take pick 22 for Crameri why would they give up a younger player who can be an important midfielder for them?

    Why on Earth would they rate him better than pick 20? Consensus from most sources is that pick 22 for Crameri is about right. Myers shouldn't be worth more than him. Crameri was their leading goalkicker for this year while Myers struggles to get a start in their side.

    Hasn't it been said before that nobody wants to get into trades with the Bombers? They seem to be constitutionally unable to grasp what is reasonable for their outgoing players. They are always massively unreasonable and have a history of putting a huge pricetag on their players and sticking to it in the face of all logic and failing to get the deal done. They basically waste everyone's time every year trying to get extra for their players and not getting anything in the end.

    Adam White tweeting that offers starting to come in for pick 2, package deals coming in (not single player for pick) and that GWS are leading the race.

    now that's a positive attitude!

    Part of GWS deal would def be pick 9

    Not if they included Shiel. But could see them going pick 9 and Tom Bugg or Dom Tyson for pick 2. Get rid of a guy who wants to go home and let them get absolute class. They have the tall forwards but they don't have the midfield stars that GC have with O'Meara and Martin. They'd be keen for the absolute best midfielder

    Dom Tyson and Pick 9 for Pick 2?

    We think alike Wiseblood.

    I was more referring to they way the club is run Lord not specifically the trade period

    I've come to be fond of the prospect of getting Kelly at pick 2, as I really rate this guy (I know others have concerns on his light frame - not me), but would still be happy to trade it for Shiel.

    He's about the only deal that interests me, so "package deals" doesn't overly excite. Shiel is a must if it's GWS.

    Right.

    Just don't give up your day job ... please!

    At least it's a contribution.

    You should try it.

    2. Package deals are being offered to Melbourne. Not one player for pick 2. The Giants look like they're leading the race at this stage.

    With you on all counts. Kelly does have a frame that could fill out reasonably well. Yes, he's lightly framed, but I wouldn't put him in the Morton class.

    I tend to agree, as I'm more concerned over Aish's light frame than Kelly's.

    The only alternative would be the Dom Tyson & pick 9 for pick 2 trade proposal, but even that is a longshot.

    I think it's a pretty even deal, even though Tyson was pick 3 in his draft.

    And I've seen some reports convinced he is ensconced in Sydney.

    Shiel would usually be considered purely fantasy, but I hold out hope he is bent on coming back to Melb for Choco's daughter...

    Ahhhh young love!

    • 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.
