What current trade positions do we have other than 2, 3 & 23? I would offer Maggotwood pick around 40 or so and say that's it.

And the cats? What is their first pick? I don't think getting Lumumba in a 3 way trade is a good deal for us

If Geelong throw in their 3rd rounder with the Clark deal, we can give that to GWS for Frost at least. Save us the risk of the Bulldogs pulling a shifty on us.

Especially now they've lost Boyd and will be looking for other talls

This is the biggest week for the MFC since the 2000 GF. I have been muted so no names will be mentioned, but if all goes to plan we will end up with 2 A Graders plus pick 2. The 2 players would enter

"black and white..." Hmm lets think about this. Title of a famous song by Michael Jackson who was also black and white. Michael Jackson was born on the 29th of August 1958... 29/8/1958... 2+9+8+1+

I too share lots of info when I have it. There's plenty that I wouldn't dream of posting on here due to the sensitivity, but where its harmless - why not? Whilst I'm not enamoured with GnF's grandsta

That's the reason I ask because "I believe" that the hold up on this whole 3 way deal is not the Beams situation but a bickering over lesser picks. Will be very surprised if the deal only involves the 3 players with no other picks exchanged

Okay, I'm pretty comfortable that we're going in to the draft with 2 and 3. Don't have the energy to believe the Kennedy rumour.

This trade period has been insane. I'm exhausted.

And for us pretty pointless to date.

Could be a lie but Balme just said on SEN that the terms between Geelong and us were actually agreed last week. Not surprisingly the reason the whole deal is being held up is because Colonwood can't get their [censored] together.

Collingwood are stalling this whole trade period. Why cant we just trade Clark for Geelongs 2nd rounder and then ontrade it to H when/if they get their [censored] together. Why are we letting their own deals block our Mitch Clark deal

Think it's safe to say we won't be dealing with Colonwood next year unless we absolutely have to. We probably wouldn't have this year if Lamumba's manager didn't ask to meet with us.

If we walk away from thus trade period without an established midfielder of any type or two lesser tear midfielders then im sorry but i will view the result of this trade period as contrary to paul roos wanting immediate results rather thsn fans copping another rebuild.

i say if we cant get an a grader we trade someone with currency for a pick in the top 20 and then package that with three for 2 gws mids of the likes of toby greene rather than treloar/shiel pipe dreams

It's been a bad day for the MFC, the disappointment and trade setback is significant. I understand that some will take this disappoint out on those who offered hope. This is natural. However, all is not lost. Let's see what Roos pulls out of the hat in the coming days.

I note that the same people who have abused me (not that I care) are the same who smashed me for six months when I announced the absolute arrival of Roos in May 2013. Life is too short, we all love our club and yearn success. We are all on the same team. Personally despite my reservations on FA I remain optimistic, the most optimistic I have been since 2006.

Let's hope tomorrow is a better day for our great club.

GNF, Thanks for your posts and keeping us updated this TP. Hope you realise some of us appreciate it

Its unfortunate what happened this period, it looks like Roos had a good plan in mind and we were hit with two serious set backs we couldnt foresee, with Clark turning into what Brisbane and Freo told us he was all along, and then JT's horrible news this morning

Im hoping either way Roos is able to pull something off, or go to draft with 2 and 3, but either way I back him

We have gone from 'all players are tradeable' 4 weeks ago to zero players being traded out 1.5 days from trade cut-off. No talk of any happening either (excl Clarke).

Even if we land a big fish no-one at MFC could be happy with the trade outcome and the list that results,

I know I'm a troglodyte and irreversibly welded to the past but I would much rather draft and develop our own kids.

Spend the money that would go on high profile players on development coaches a la Voss at Port - Brendan McCartney comes to mind.

May not play finals as quickly but success would be more sustained and supporters are able to have the pleasure of watching good talent come on.

Shows us no one wants our players, or at least the players we are prepared to trade.

I believe it is the beams situation holding it up. Beams is contracted for next year, until he's off their books they can't sign another player and risk going over the salary cap (assuming that varcoe will be on similar or more than lamumba). Edited by Beats

Bucks has to go to Bali to slip some Ruffies into Varcoes drink, hangover 4 where Varcoe wakes up in the morning and finds out his signed up to play for collingwood.....

If Bucks met Varcoe in Bali, who is there for Roos to meet in Hawaii?

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
