Ok im starting this to take the attention of the Buddy Saga. But been little reports that we have made contact with Tom Rockliff and Jade Rawlings has boarded a plane for Brisbane with a Melbourne logo folder in hand.

Was an article in the Brisbane time about rumors that Tom was not happy with the direction of where Brisbane was heading so I hope we seriously chase him hard. Is up from my way in country Victoria and would make a massive difference to our midfield with now pick 2 on the table. We all know how good he is so im not going to go through the Pros and Cons.

Thoughts?

MFC offer pick 2 & pick 38. MFC ask for Rockliff and pick 24 from the Lions. I believe the Lions want Boyd and may take this on.

Wouldn't surprise me if they got it off here to be honest!

Is he uncontracted?

Landing Rockcliff would be absolutely sensational.

Rawlings assisted us to land Clark when he was all but over the line with Freo.

Hopefully he can pull another rabbit out of the hat. With pick 2 up for grabs, head room under the cap, and Paul Roos now on board, you'd have to think there's some chance.

Be nice to get there first pick back

Pick 6 is it?

Cant see it happening Olisik but I like the sound of it. Would be an excellent trade

Possibly Rockliff and one of their boys who has already stated an intention to head home to Victoria would be something they would put out as an offer!

Go Jade! Great investigating if this is true. Rocky's name hasn't even been mentioned in the trade wind.

I would be happy to trade pick 2 for Rocky as well. Dominates the Brisbane engine room and gets touches regardless of where Brisbane are in the competition.

Lots of people talking about pick 2 coming into play. I'm not sure we'd go there, although the ones with us getting pick 6 back could almost work.

Yeah work for us, not them.

Pick 2 would be the only thing Brisbane would possibly consider to give him up. He's there best midfielder finishing with almost 100 touches more then Redden this year. Ball Magnet.

Let's just wait and see if he will even consider us. Everyone here rambled on about Taylor Adams for months and the kid laughed at the prospect of going to Melbourne. We are last on most players list.

Yep, and Voss played him in the forward pocket quite a few times (much to the angst of dream team players everywhere), which negatively impacted on his possessions.

He's a gun. I doubt they'd do it for pick 2 but I'd take it in a heartbeat.

This is an interesting one because it is more than rumour, twitter feed from some twit, or an anonymous "my brother's sister's boyfriend's doctor's aunt" Facebook post. Rawlings is seen up there on MFC official business.

Unless he is desperate to move from Brisbane, Rockliff is mad to leave. Considering he is contracted I cannot see the Lions letting go of their midfield gun who has 3 year's work in him for anything less than picks 1 - 4.

Two things in our favour.

He knows Jade Rawlings

He would respect Paul Roos (and if the dislocation between Voss and players is real, this is a big plus for us)

    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.
