That might be needed for Billy Stretch.

Hopefully Billy will be there waiting for us at 3rd round. (Something has to go right for us surely?)

Tell him, he's dreamin.

We may be lucky in that if we finish close to the bottom of the ladder, for us to be forced to use our 2nd rounder on Billy, someone will have to offer up a pick in the first say 18-19.

I am not sure that anyone would want us to call their bluff that high. He could possibly slip to our 3rd rounder if that scenario is correct. He is not at the same desire level for us as Viney was, I would imagine.

As someone said earlier, about time for some luck.

Sorry I actually meant to write our 2nd ROUND pick haha. Would definitely not give pick 2 for Moore

No I got what you meant, I was still ewwing at a second rounder for Moore. He might be ready to go but he's always looked like a battler to me.

Good mail Jesse hogan was out last night well and truly enjoying himself.. Didn't look like a bloke doing everything to get the body in order for a game this year

I'm sure having a few beers isn't gonna kill him pal.

stretch.

let's keep singing his praises & raise his internet profile, & we can talk him up into a Pick-12 if we're so smart, this is no doubt how our past leaders from the northern stand would do MFC's business, shoot themselves in the foot first, and the club.

We'll convince the footy public he's worth pick12, & they'll raise his profile further, so we can spend our 2nd Rnd pick on him, & miss out on another kid. or another deal we could use that 2nd Rnd pick in.

yes

Keep hoping.

you guys would be a real-estate agents dream, to achieve their best deal for themselves, & their clients. you'd talk up the buy price on the property you want, working together.

Is that right? I thought it was done on rounds i.e. to force us to use our second round pick another side has to offer their second round pick.

Apparently Tom Mitchell is on over $500,000 a year at the Swans (source - Mark Allen, SEN). I'd say the Swans would have to off load him to pay Buddy's, Tippett's, Ried's, etc etc pay next year. Off loading Malceski would help to

My prediction is the Demons will off load a second rounder for Mitchell and Malceski. The Blues are after Mitchell too, they may beat us to the punch. If they do, the club would get Malceski for a low pick (not to dilute compensation for Frawley)

My other prediction is the Dees are going hard for Cameron at GWS. We are the front runners as we have the money to pay for him and the draft pick to get him. Cameron would also enjoy the prospect of playing next to Hogan.

As much as the club would love Frawley to stay, I'd say the club would be happy to let him go if the Cameron deal was in the bag. Probably why the club is going to the AFL wanting to know what compensation they will get for Frawley.

Roos saying he would not play Frawley if he knew he was going to another club is all smoke and mirrors. Roos will not compromise the team losing games by over 10 goals as the team needs to believe they are competitive at AFL level. Playing Frawley as a forward is purely a move to keep us competitive, yet looking at the future without him. Frawley is not a swingman!!

If the club does get Cameron, Hogan maybe seen as the swingman and be played as a backman

Most sense I've read in this thread. Keep it up demonstrative.

And of course Hogan can enjoy himself with a lazy $500k to throw around.

I have also heard beyond the normal channels, that we are into Cameron. I'd have to say that, up and running, he is a sensation IMO

Facebook suggesting DANGERFIELD WILL BE GOING TO COLLINGWOOD. Surely not. Surely. I know facebook is FOS but this would be heart braking if true.

Also rumour regarding Cooney leaving Bulldogs or told to leave is bollocks. Source: Word of mouth from manager.

I wouldn't put any stock in something you read on Facebook. It's full of rubbish... in fact, it's all rubbish.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
