Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

Disagree with you here Moonshadow. At the Blues Kennedy was a massive disappointment. He not only did he under perform, he didn't show a lot of potential. The club was happy to let him go.

Subiaco is a ground that has suited his style of play and the Eagles have done well out of that trade. The kid is a star now.

Disagree - Kennedy was a young developing KPF. Carlton didn't want to lose him but had to, to secure Judd and Kennedy didn't want to leave Carlton at the time.

He was not a massive disappointment by any stretch of the imagination.

Nutjob Mitch Robertson would be high on my list and I would look at what value might be had with Jarred Waite for a year or two.

As you know I put a premium on grunt and a touch of homicidal maniac is just what this club needs right now!

You are joking. Skill is what we lack. No room for ill disciplined no talents.

Not true if I recall correctly and from someone very close to Kennedy, the Blues balked at the deal as they wanted to keep Kennedy, they saw the potential and tried to work their way through a number of other scenarios none of which came to fruition. At the end of the day the deal came down to either Fev or Kennedy being traded as they wanted Judd. In the end they gave up Kennedy and kept Fev.

Both clubs won out on the trade but in hindsight we all know who they would have given up now

I know it's been rumoured elsewhere, but I had a mate who was at a function yesterday where a former Demons great said that Malceski to the Dees for 2 years was a done deal.

Actually, the blue supporters I know were very disappointed in Kennedy at the Blues. I'm not saying the club thought differently.

The MFC has kept Watts for very similar reasons. Potential. It's all very subjective. That's the game we support.

I hope Malceski isn't the only big fish we get this offseason though...I would be willing to bet there will be more after seeing Roos post match press conference today. He was shattered and couldn't believe how [censored] this teams skills are and IMPLIED offloading a lot of players that aren't cutting it.

Demonstrative the Blues Supporters you know unless the Pratts have no say in the running of the club, Fact is they did not want to let him go. The option came down to Judd or Kennedy

St P, i said he was underwhelming at the blues. The discussion started regarding Cameron from GWS being worth 2 high draft picks. The Judd Kennedy trade was brought up (maybe from me). I argued Kennedy was a speculative trade as his form was underwhelming.

If Carlton wanted to keep Kennedy or not, is not the point of the this discussion.

Thanks for your contribution tho.

Also, fact is they did let him go. Can say they didn't want to when they did

Last sentence is bollocks. And you know it. They reluctantly let Kennedy go. He didn't want to go either. The trade for Judd hinged upon him going to WCE, so they let him go paired with a very high draft pick.

I'd trade for Cameron or a a mid, such as Parker. Work your best magic Roosy!

    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
