Trade week radio earlier interviewed Josh Mahoney. When prompted with the question regarding the no.2 pick and the Dees intentions, Mahoney intimated that it was "highly likely" the Demons would be trading the pick for established quality talent; giving up pick 2 overall in the National Draft.

He stated there were 4 or 5 candidates who they had in mind (or were talking too).

He also stated that the club had done everything they could to keep Colin Sylvia, they now await to hear from him of his intentions.

I'm speculating but I believe they've been scouring for players from other clubs wanting to return home contracted or not. They've most likely put out decent bait, and they've 'highly likely' caught a decent fish.

I thought much the same. The club is doing a nice job of keeping us all speculating.

What I was meant to add was that they've been doing it for some time.

And I've since realised the exact same sort of discussion has been going on in the other thread in relation to Mahoney's revealing comments.

It's funny that the rumours circulating have been about Victorian players in the correct age bracket at interstate clubs that are relatively struggling.

Sloane, Rockliff, Scott Selwood, GWS players...

Even Swallow, although from WA, has Victorian ties and has struggled a bit himself.

Maybe there is some truth to one of them.

But I'd still expect a good return for pick 2 if we are bent on trading it.

This revelation by Mahoney that we're "highly likely" to trade it, makes me wonder if we're trying to sniff out any other possibilities that haven't yet revealed themselves.

The media is a pretty good vehicle for advertising to other clubs your intentions.

Speculative but wouldn't it be a KOTD moment if MFC were able to secure one that had his mind set on returning home; perhaps still contracted; had knowledge of the soon to be official 'offer', regarded as a quality mid; 22-24yrs of age with 50 or more games under his belt.

Please let it be a Shuey, Sloane, Selwood, Polec type.

Awesome if we could downgrade a first round pick and perhaps organise another KOTD moment, before end of trade.

Two mids would meet Roos' and fans expectations.

Using the words "highly likely" indicates to me that a deal is either very close or done.

It is stronger that the usual lines trotted out ie " we'll trade it for the right deal" " open to the possibility" etc.

It's fun speculating.

This is exactly what I took it to be, M. An opportunity to flush out any other potential candidates by pimping the pick.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But I'm almost certain trade week radio is only weekdays 9am to 5pm so that could be a problem.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
