Pick 23 for Merrett + Brisbane's third rounder.

Brisbane's third rounder on-traded for Frost.

Take best available midfielder in the PSD with pick 2, rather than having to burn it on Frost (see what I did there?)

Get anyone who is better than Evans/McKenzie as a DFA. Burbury has my vote, would cost peanuts and kicks goals.

Delist Strauss/Tappy/Blease obviously.

I prefer we keep Jeremy Howe! High marking's about the most spectacular sight in our game, Howe's about the best high mark in the history of the sport; sport is a division of the Entertainment Industry . His crowd drawing adds to his good playing value.

Yep, we should definitely keep one-trick ponies to pull the same crowds through the door who are exiting in droves because our team sucks so much balls.

This makes sense to me Merrett and a recycled player or 2 along with picks 2 and three and we improve again.

I'm hopeful Blease can be saved by Goodwin and adapt to Roosys game plan as a rookie and make a Jettaesque comeback although unlikely.

His outstanding attribute is very useful.

I would like to see Melbourne help broker the deal between St Kilda and GWS for #1.

St Kilda gives #1, #21 for #3, #6, #23

GWS gives Greene, #4, #6 for #1, #21

Melbourne gives #3, #23 for Greene, #4

Add Frost to us and it is a good deal.

Blease is gone either through a trade or delisting and he wants to be gone, absolutely how he feels.

DN9, going by this logic, *every* year, the team that finishes last is odds on to finish last the next year. If you're going to pencil us in for last this year, why stop there? Pencil us in for last every year for the rest of our lives.

I don't know who we're going to leapfrog. We should improve, and some teams will get worse. It happens every year. Predictions of finishing last this far out make the assumption that everything will remain static - that's just not how it works.

I seriously can't fathom why many posters on this board even support our club.

It is such a miserable existence with no hope, no optimism and everything we touch turns to crap.

We can't trade properly because there should be players banging our door down to come to the club.

We can't even get HL into a Melbourne jumper for his announcement about him joining our club.

Do these posters derive even the slightest bit of enjoyment out of our club or is it just an exercise in self flagellation ?

How about Pick 23 for Greene

&

Brayshaw & Petracca/Lever

You realise the Greene's number are almost identical to Nathan Jones ?

Whilst you don't base judgement purely on stats - the one stat is that you would never get Greene for pick 23.

Brayshaw and Lever. Dees wanted a pick further down the first round order but may have to go early on Lever

I am realistic about where we sit but if I couldn't find some way to get enjoyment out of supporting my team I would just stop supporting - as simple as that.

I got some enjoyment last year out of seeing obvious improvement, watching for the first time in years three good recruits come in and make an impact (Cross Tyson Vince). The club has some stability about it.

We have now put the missing piece in place in the coaching box and I am eager to see how Hogan goes. Do I think we will knocking on the door for the 8 ? nope. Will I get frustrated during the year - absolutely . Will I be satisfied - unless we race up the ladder - nope.

Will I moan and gripe about our club and be woe is us - I'll walk away from the game first.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
