As it looks like Scott Selwood will be offered the captaincy at West Coast he's off the table. Surely we have a red hot crack at Dusty. This kid could be anything. Risky as it is when guys of this calibre are available, in the position we are in, put an offer to his management that will make him look twice. How much easier does it seem to bargain these days with a credible coach at the helm?

Do not want!

Talk to Richmond supporters. The guy shines for 50% of the game, goes missing the other 50%.

Not to mention his off-field tendencies which I know of through an ex Tiger.

Would be a horrendous pick up.

Martin is well and truly worth going after. We have to start putting the footy side of the club first, as PJ put it a short time ago which means putting Dusty's footy ability into perspective - he'll come into our side as our best midfielder, no doubt.

Money wise, we can comfortably afford to pay him 600K... I know for a fact there is a player on our list who barely cracks a game yet is making 300K a year - imagine how many of them there are? At least with Martin we'd be paying someone to play for the MFC and not the Casey Scorpions.

Roos pretty much said what we already know.. but he danced around the pointed question of "would you take him if he wanted to come"... in typical roos fashion he danced around it without answering it.

I think we are deeper into this than many think

Considering every major news outlet is saying that we are front-runners to land him, I would say a few people think we are into him.

That 50% is better than probably every single melbourne players' full game. Perhaps except Jones. Man, what a tandem they would be.

Not for me,

Bad manager screwed richmond with false offers last time now paying masive overs, father linked to bikie groups supposed ex bikie leader, hangs around connors STILL, has a full time mentor and hasnt got the petrol tickets to run a game out as every tigers fan knows.

Smart Richmond ppl dont want him nor will they pay massive overs.

for mine NO THANKS

He averaged 24 touches and a goal a game this year.. he does go missing at times but the guy's a ball magnet and match winner on his day.

Unfortunately I'm aware of his off-field tendencies too through local Bendigo/Castlemaine lads around his age.. which is enough to put me off.

Considering we offered Scully a massive amount, I'd much rather offer someone like Dusty that type of benjamin.

At least Martin already has the points on the board.

Dusty is a more dominant player than Cotchin and Lids.

When Jake King has blokes like Toby Mitchell hanging around Richmond, there is little wonder Dusty wants out.

The temptation is just too much.

I am sure Roos has factored in his social associations and his endurance and would not be considering him if he had not sought insurance/assurance to cover things. If we can acheive it and retain pick 2 [by not losing it in a trade] then we should consider. The only pick ahead of us is GWS and they have are likely to instead focus on key position players. We could be even cleverer and asking him to wait until the Pre-season draft so that we retain pick 2 in the National Draft.

So you are saying u don't want a player who gives 50% which is 45% more than most on our list currently?

Interesting.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
