Assuming we get and have pick 3

Pick 3, Toumpas and either Trengove ( preferable) or Grimes for Dangerman!

Even though as I have said, Your all on the grass and in a crazed dementive state!

It won't bloodywell happen!!

Pick 2 AND potentially 3 are massive massive overs for anything less than say... an Ablett!

And your annoying neighbour is standing behind the Picket Fence whinging and talking absolute shite every time you check the mail.

My girlfriend is an Adelaide supporter. Has number 32 on her jumper. Relationship may not be able to survive Paddy coming to Melbourne... I'm willing to risk it.

It would be another dream to land Danger man.

I have just finished cruising down the Rhine with 34 Adelaidians.

They are devastated that Danger may be leaving. Although not so bad if he goes to Melb.

They would hate the thought of him turning up at Port or Pies.

I have had a great couple of weeks talking footy with them.

They aren't as mad as a lot of people think.

Or maybe I just happened to get the 34 sane barstards.

Any hoo now that we look like we may get Harry with still a chance of Danger.

I am am in a better mood as I head for France.

Bonjour

you poor basstard!!! feel for you

Adeladians to the Rhine....like Briquettes to Newcastle ^_^

Enjoy a bottle of bubbly for me PD :)

I don't believe 2 and 3 are overs.

Danger is the type of player who could drag this club out of the mire and take the rest of the team with him.

With Lumumba and possibly Malcevski to support him a drastically lift the standard at training and on match day.

A proven match winner who has consistently polled top five in the brownlow year after year.

A high draft pick, could be a a good player or he could be another, Tambling, Sylvia or Morton.

I don't want to risk it again, we don't have a good record with high draft picks.

Roos was "startled" by the result Saturday. "Stunned".

Said Sydney just didn't respond to the pressure.

Key to Hawthorn's success is their impeccable ball movement.

Hawks slow the ball down by keeping possession, allowing them to breathe, forcing Sydney to work harder for no result and exhaust themselves.

Have to tread very fine line between spraying players and being comforting, because it can damage relationships permanently.

Believes Clarkson is the best coach in the game. "You have to remember where they were, what they were like when he got there. They were a really poor team, building team, young team."

On improving: Have to "start at the start", only way to get to their level is being as hard as the Hawks. The one constant in grand final teams, they're hard, tough, they tackle.

Thank god this guy coaches us, he understands each team's strategies flawlessly.

Gerard: Will you trade picks 2 and 3 for Dangerfield?

Roos: (wry smile, took a moment to get his composure, didn't seem to be anticipating such a direct question). "First and foremost, he's a terrific player who is contracted for next year."

Speculation started with Roo saying he was tradeable.

"We haven't spoken to him."

"If Frawley goes, we... everyone expects us to get pick 3".

"We'll talk to Patty.. if he says he wants to leave Adelaide we'll look into it."

Mentioned Robbo asked him about it before the show. Either way, all deflection. Saying they haven't talked is, for my money, another complete lie. There's a script all involved parties are following here. AFC, MFC, Roos, Patty, his manager.

Agreed, also Bomber is a terrible liar. He's off to the Gold Coast. He was clearly uncomfortable answering the question.

Gerard & Robbo's opinions on the trade period:

Waite: Going to North.

Liam Jones: Going to Carlton.

Ryder: Going to Port.

Beams: Offering pick 4 or nothing, Brisbane won't budge, Collingwood being ridiculous.

Frawley: Collingwood (???? according to Gerard)

Frawley: Robbo says Hawthorn.

Clark: Geelong.

Dangerfield: Staying in Adelaide "simple as that" says Robbo.

McKenna done within 48 hours.

Mark Thompson, "think he'll be at Essendon" says Robbo, Gerard says "might want to re-think that". Robbo: "If the AFL went to Mark Thompson with $1.7 million and said, Mark, we need you to coach this team... he would do it." Done deal I reckon.

Agreed. He also kept asking idiotic questions about the grand final to Roos and Bomber when clearly the more interesting conversation involved Bomber's future and Roos' trade intentions. All we got was a rushed question about Danger that was deflected in typical Roos fashion. Compare that to his answer when asked about R'OK, where he outright said it was probably a year too late.

Signed up seven kid members to the club yesterday.

Three of whom were new-born sons of mates of mine - fathers all support the Crows.

Get Danger and we've got these boys for life.

That said, it'll be bloody hard to dislodge Danger from Adelaide. But everyone knows that.

As an aside, and I've posted it before, but my son is the youngest ever member of this club. In its entire history. Signed him up as soon as I found out his sex and could give him a name - he was 20 week fetus at the time.

His favourite player is Bernie Vince. Well, I reckon it is - he can't talk yet.

If we get Dangerfield, I'll get my first ever membership (100%) as well. Our membership will basically explode if we land Danger.

    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
