Amazing amount of bile here for someone who wanted to take a moral stance about material that was clearly anti-gay. Just because you complain about such discrimination doesn't make you a 'nutter', 'sc

I don't have an issue if we hand over our second rounder (pick 22ish) for LaBamba.

The bloke has played 200 games, All Australian, premiership player, consistent top 5 in the best and fairest.

We traded a pick in the mid 20's for Vince and you could argue that the Prince's career has been of the equal to Vince, if not better.

Pick 23ish for him...

Clark compo or nothing.

Pick 23 is too much for Lumumba, Collingwood want it.

I think we are waiting on a Clark trade.

Lumumba is 28 next month, clearly has issues, and is an athlete before footballer - unlike Vince, who will play into his 30's.

We won't give up 23, Roos isn't silly.

I don't like the "he has issues" comments people are making about HL. Difference of opinion or communication style doesn't equal "issues".

In any event, I do agree that pick 23 is too much but a pick in the 30s is about right.

Didn't he take some time off to deal with some issues?

He has issues, it is well documented. Has there been a season gone by where Lumumba hasn't put the attention on himself?

I cannot recall one. Certainly Collingwood are fed up, they are moving him on anyway, so they have no bargaining power, they do not want this guy at their club regardless.

Clark compo would be about right, like for like.

Who wouldn't have issues playing for the Filth?

Would be nice if we could trade 2 or 3 in a Tyson-like trade and use 23 on Hugh Goddard if he could be so good as to slip that far.

Correct Id really like to hang onto pick 23 as there will be a nice players that slides down to that pick.

Pick 23 is clear overs for Prince. He is gifted, but he ain't worth that.

Geelong's pick 33 I'll be reasonably okay with.

If we are talking about trading what we receive from Geelong, why not deal directly with Collingwood who would also like Mitch in their forward line? Mitch is still contracted on our list until after the trade period (31 October) so to a large extent we hold the cards in relation to HL, Mitch, the Cats and the Pies! Without satisfying us no deal gets done and Mitch and HL could each each find themselves in the PSD where we also hold all the cards!

Confused. Deals done isn't it? Geelong pick 2 straight to Collingwood.

He's nominated Geelong and discussions are now with Geelong. Shafting them at this point wouldn't bode well for any future dealings.

If we can get the three way deal that suits all parties, Collingwood to a lesser extent, then I think that's the ideal outcome.

The downside is Clark will likely avoid facing a Melbourne home crowd next season. He gets to weasel out. Again.

But I want more than pick 33 for Clark.

Agree with this. I believe we could get 33 and another pick from Cats for MC with the second one going for Frost.

That way we get HL and Frost for MC. It is not impossible as Cats are saying he could be a star for them. They have missed on Chip and we can force MC into the draft.

    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

    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
