    The jetta and rohan deal doesn't sound too bad. I would prob prefer an A grader. Heard worse ideas though

    Will you be the one to apologise when it doesn't happen first?

    is he really that good for a straight swap?

    I havent seen too much of him, but heard good things

    I hope we get a little creative, maybe even jump in with some other trades going on. For example instead of just pick 2 for Shiel, how about we try and work in with Sydney as well. They have to try and work out getting something for Mumford.

    Might work like this-

    we give pick 2 and 22 (col's compo) and get Shiel (GWS), Smith and pick 31 (Syd).

    GWS get pick 2 and Mumford and lose Shiel (us) and pick 20 and 22

    Syd lose Mumford and pick 31 and get pick's 20 and 22

    Just throwing it out that a little bit of creativity might get us more than just a straight pick for player.

    yeah it is a bad idea. Both those players are good but neither address our problem for a need for midfielders than can play in the guts

    Sydney lose Mumford, smith and pick 31 for 20 and 22... Not to sure they're that generous

    Your right, we should be asking for more. Pretty sure rohan is an all round mid isn't he? Jetta isn't really what we are after, running wingman. We do need in and under mids and some class as well.

    Averaged a combined 16.8 possessions this year, Jetta 11.8, Rohan 5.0. Exactly what we need :)

    Both were coming off injury. Rohan will be an absolute gun when he gets up and running as a mid one of the quickest players in the game, good size and good overhead. Think Dangerfield.

    Not saying he would be a good trade but with Parker yep.

    Its basically Mumford for 20 and Smith and 31 for 22. It frees up a bit more salary for them and they can hit the draft with 3 picks in the top 22. I think theyd consider it, especially if Smith wants to play more midfield time.

    No longer want to trade for pick 2, want Nathan Freeman! A gun! Saw some vids of him on the weekend, excatly what we need. Could be ready made like Ollie Wines!

    Dylan Shiel for pick 2 would be a brilliant result.

    Will GWS have in mid 13ish pick this year as well? or is that just GC I'm thinking of in regards to the Caddy trade.

    lol @ Essendon trying to play hard ball when all their players are on the verge of ASADA bans

    Haha, yeah they officially "rule him off limits" when no one wants him or will only pay unders. :)

    Must be a very new experience for Messendon to be treated as garbage

    Brave new world hey ....get used to it

    From the club website:

    http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-10-07/trade-winds-monday

    Makes mention of a couple of Swans players in a package and mentions Nick Smith. Could be worth noting, especially seeing as Chris Pelchan has said Saints aren't trading Pick 3. Could Parker be the other player?

    Maybe it's Pick 2 for Smith & Parker?

    Why deal with them and make them stonger with a potential champ at pick 2. Thhey already have Buddy etc...

    Thats not the Freeman you're looking for.

    1. we win out of the deal at least as a start of an improve (a rebuild of a rebuild of a...)

    2. the stronger they get the more obvious their financial advantage becomes causing an eventual correction by the league and a stronger footing to argue for a more equal footing (as in AFL guaranteeing 100% salary cap payments).

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
