I'm sorry but if you're drawing parallels from Michie and Magner, you clearly have little idea of the situation.I'll just bundle you in with the ignorant group who keep quoting; ' He's only played one

Spoke to a current player today , he said Mitchie will start at Casey. New players to come in to the team he thinks are : Cross - absolutely flying Vince - really good Tyson - doing well Hogan -

Some of the comments from Freo Supporters and how much they highly rate him.. ''Congrats guys, you just picked up a 150 + game solid on baller. I'm pretty devo ATM, but well done''. ''As I said earl

If the MFC got one or two genuine midfielders for pick two, and get them quickly, it will only make the club more attractive to other midfielders wanting a move. I would have thought whoever we trade for pick two would be a selling point (if it get us a gun or two)

He rated Kirk, Ben Mathews, Crouch, Amon Buchanan, Luke Ablett and Paul Bevan enough that with a decent chunk of talent around them they became premiership players. McKenzie might not be Kirk or have any Ablett genes but I'm a believer in him.

Love his spirit, determination, work rate and discipline but if he doesn't improve his disposal, particularly by foot, then he will find it harder and harder to get a game as we improve the calibre of our midfield.

If we get him for the right price then I don't see this as a bad thing at all. Interested to see how it develops.

I must say hats off to stevethemanjordan for opening this thread - a well calculated thought/ trade.

Things are looking and sounding positive, from what I've heard he's not over the line yet but sounding likely.

Hopefully when we trade/sign Viv it will be the start of more trades to come

AFL site states as follows:-

Trade Wrap

The language of the trades is fascinating and unique. Michie has played one AFL game in three years and yet, the Dockers "appear resigned" to losing him. Makes the bloke sound like he's Garry Ablett Junior or something and he's going to cost us pick 2! :lol:

I quite agree with other posters about how he would be a good addition to the midfield but surely for pick #36 (start of third round) rather than pick #20. There are better prospects around at #20 (& #21 if we get compensation)!

It's sounding positive isn't it.

I'll be pretty excited if we get this fella.

Pick 54 (4th round) is the right trade ... or tell Freo we will get him via pre season draft as Pick 2.

Yes I would like this too, although to my understanding Freo want to retain him.

I don't think they will accept that trade and I don't think the MFC would want to take the risk if he has to nominate through the draft. I'm guessing a third round pick or a player swap.

I'm hoping we add Shiel, Vince, Zak Jones and Cross (PSD) to this.

We might then be looking at an AFL standard midfield. And a reasonably competitive, well rounded list.

Have to agree, that would be a true win for us over the trade/ draft period considering the circumstances.

Although for me instead of Shiel I hope the club pulls off another doozy (like the secret Roos acquisition) and we obtain one of those old fan favorite rumours that have passed like Rockliff, Sloane, or D. Swallow.

Sydney get Buddy, Carlton get Thomas, we get all excited about possibly getting Viv Michie.

He might come to us and he might even be a good player for us.

The point that I find perplexing is that he has played 1 senior match in 3 years which, in MHO is not a lot to get excited about.

Or am I missing something?

I guess he's reported as saying that he wants to play for us (or Paul Roos), so that makes him rather unique.

    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.
