What's wrong with it being on the table? Dom Tyson has been one of our best trade week signings ever, and is only going to improve. Why not test the waters again?

Tyson is barely 21, yet to have a full preason, and will likely be runner up in the Bluey. Pretty friggin good "bandaid" pal. Also, you've just made it clear that you expect draftees to star and carr

Just because it's on the table doesn't mean we'll trade it away from nothing. Roos might know something we don't. Would you trade pick 2 for say someone like Shields? Of course you would. I trust Pa

I think Roos is putting pick 2 on the market so to speak to entice clubs to lower their objections to us getting a PP as theres a chance they could trade in for it...

It seems that everyone is keen on Petracca this year which will definitely give us some pull come trade time.

Haven't seen the kid at all but from random readings and the fact he is a quality goal kicking mid there is a lot to like. Would like for us to get him but would rather a ready made gun instead if we could pick one up.

Sick of running the risk, investing in speculation and not reaping a dividend.

Been burnt to many times so for me its about time we picked some solid blue chip investments.

My number 1 is Dangerfield. Have met with a close relative of his and he is 100% confident that he will be back in Victoria next year.

If not him then lest just rape and pillage some ready made up and goers. Shiel, Treloar, Tommy Mitchell plus some compo back our way (similar to last year) would be great. We desperately need some quality.

I really want petracca though, so perhaps use pick 3 (assuming Frawley compo) as trade bait. Which he probably will. Although he can't say that yet as noone "knows" if frawley is staying or going.

I like this a lot in using pick 2 for Petracca and moving on pick three similar to last year.

I literally know nothing about Petracca other than what I have read and through everyones optimism it makes me want him a lot (its like the positives of pre-season reports all over again!!)

Is it possible to bring up some stats on the TAC comp to compare to other mids over the previous years? I just worry that we are all getting on the same hype as we did with Watts, Scully etc.

He seems to be the definite number 1 mid in the draft this year and a lot of teams would be desperate for him. Because of this we would get a ridiculously better deal trading pick 2 over pick 3.

I really hope we end up with Caleb Daniel on the list (obviously not with pick 2 or 3), love the look of him despite his height

Totally agree, he gives his all 100% of the time he's on the ground. Love the way he goes about it. Same height as Brent Harvey, so there's proof players' that small can still play the game. If you're good enough, you're good enough. We can't afford to be so picky given our current plight.

I'd like to see us actually draft one of these top picks and see him become an absolute superstar who plays 200 plus games for the Dees. Trading them out just makes it look like we are incapable of identifying the talent and developing them into a genuine A-grade footballer.... although the track record would suggest that to be true.

I think pick 2 is for Petracca.

Roos is letting the world know we will trade. But the trade will be pick 3 or 4 or both. (PP & Frawley compo)

He cannot say that at this stage.

Watts has finally become a steak knife...

Hmm, I think a steak knife can actually hurt someone.

He's more like the seat covers thrown in with the new car.

    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.
