Nat Fyfe

Recommended Posts

I would suggest two first round picks could get it done...

Hypothetically:

We finish the year with pick 4.

Frawley goes so we get pick 5.

We then try to trade pick 4 for a player and a mid first round pick. (12)

On-trade that pick and and pick 5 for Fyfe.

Melbourne gets:

Fyfe and a (decent) player

Melbourne loses Picks 4 and 5.

Fremantle gains:

Pick 5 and 13.

Fremantle loses: Fyfe

(I'd suggest they'd be after pick 4 and 5 though.)

Hogan would be the starting point.

They'd also want out first selection in the draft and possibly even McDonald.

Don't over do it there. It would depend on how desperately he wanted to leave Freo and then which club would make a good offer to both him and the club.

They will absolutely ask for Hogan but if it gets that far then the horse has bolted and they will settle for the best deal we are willing to do, which will still be bloody good by the way...

rpfc want Fyfe!

Or Dangerfield!

Please, jebus!

If you could get him you'd kick Frawley and offer the first round pick plus 1 mil per season for him on a 5 or 6 year deal. GWS might offer more (first round pick plus a valuable player) if they knew he was leaving but if he had no interest in them you'd probably find a way to get him to us.

But the question has to be asked if he gets 800k at Freo (and he'd have to be some chance to) how much more will it take for him to come to us and I think the answer would be bucketloads. The same length of contract if not longer plus at least 25% more money.

I think Freo will entice him with length of deal, probably at least 4 or 5 years. They could go up to a 7 or 8 year deal if they have to. Think about it. The salary cap will only rise and probably steeply with the next broadcast rights. Pav probably only has 1-2 years left, same with McPharlin and Sandilands. Mundy will get a new deal but likely only for 2-3 years as he's 28 and once it's over so might Freo's window.

Freo will likely go all in on a flag now with big money to Pav, McPharlin, Mundy and Sandilands but the length of Fyfe's contract should be so that he's underpaid early then gets his money in 3-4 years. It's how Sydney structured Tippett and Franklin's deals.

I really can't see Fyfe willing to come to us when he has no reason to leave Perth and no reason to pick us even if he did. So it's all a pipe dream. We can bid but I think Freo have the ability to offer him a reasonable deal.

If Fyfe and Mundy both push hard for contracts then Freo might have someone squeezed out like Mumford and Everett from Sydney. Who have they got who's on big money but they don't really want anymore is the question.

    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.
