Interesting news thet Jeremy Cameron might be coming onto the market. I guess that he does not appreciate their decision last weekend to play him as a key defender and with Boyd and Patton still on their lists then they (GWS) can afford to do a deal. Would certainly help resurrect Roos' plans to develop a forward line around Dawes, Hogan and Clark. It would be a massive coup if we could pull it off in luring him to us [without having to sacrifice one of our own stars in a trade].

Who gives a toss how much he costs? Leave the money issues for the bean counters and the dreaming of gun players for the fans. It really does floor me when fans would prefer to worry about player's

I'm not as big on throwing the kitchen sink at Cameron as most here seem to be. I think success is built on team and committing a big chunk of salary cap to one player is not going to build long term

Would you have thrown the kitchen sink at a young Nick Riewoldt knowing the talent he has and the potential he reached at St Kilda? Now think Riewoldt... but better.. This is what Jeremy Cameron is..

Go hell for leather for this kid. Whatever it takes, heck throw 2 kitchen sinks at him.

We've got space in the cap and would work well in combination with Dawes and Hogan.

Dawes has a very high work-rate and often pushes up the ground and presents. Hogan would be your more stay at home type crash and bash FF, whilst Cameron is more the roaming forward, similar to Gunston.

The only problem is, we'll be one of 10 Vic clubs and 7 other interstate teams trying to get him. But get him we must.

No for mine, too expensive, won't come for less than a mill.

Perhaps we should be spending a Mill! If Roos sees a need then I am sure the rest of the team will not begrudge adding such a potentially important KPP to our side, particularly if he brings success with him I cannot see a more important player on the table for us and we would rue it if we let the opportunity slip.

This is what dreams are made of. Final piece of the puzzle should it happen. Way better than Patton and probably on a parr with Lynch as best young forward. I think we are going to have to cough. up big bucks at some stage to complete our list.

Having Tyson there may be a good start. Fingers crossed.

Big forwards take time, this one was all Australian at 19 playing in a rubbish side, he's a special talent and we should throw a couple of big deals at him and treloar

I agree DDisciple, my only question is, do you mean two standard twin bowl kitchen sinks, or do you mean the single bowl arrangement? If you are meaning the single bowl arrangement if we are able to pull that off it will be the steal of the decade!

But I do think that we would be one of the front runners in obtaining Cameron as we have the cap space and if PJ keeps us heading in the financial direction we are it wont be too far off that we will be able to pay the full salary cap.

Plus we have Roos re-committing and the players playing to his plan and getting results. It would be an inspired move by his manager to talk to us and it would be a massive Win-Win whatever it costs!

So everybody loves Cameron, and Viney and JKH and Nathan Jones, and Salem and Tyson and Frawley and Tommy Mc and now Dunn, how much money do you think the Club has at the moment with just 35000 members and now no support from the AFL....the Geelong and Hawthorn models are based on players all being on equal salaries and playing as a team, so was Sydney until Roos left

He wont be the first player to want out of GWS......id love to have him, and there will be more as it would be hard to get thumped every week and have no supporters in a place thats not into AFL.

There are also issues with the Coach, would be rubbing a few players up the wrong way.

I don't understand what your point is.

You seem to just be rambling.

I'd offer him a big front loaded contract, enough to entice him now but freeing up room as we need to start paying other blokes.

We must have a heap spare with Clark gone now.

Have you heard anything on this 'DeeZee' or is it just a feeling you have?

    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.
