I'd take Giles over Leuey, he's more agile and hits the pack harder and less injury prone.

Not to mention will come at a lower cost. Not being able to break into a side and demanding a trade decreases his currency.. I could potentially see a fair package deal that could see us land both Frost and Giles.

Frost, Giles and Shiel for pick 3 and ~40 and Blease

Blease & Giles both aren't getting games at their respective clubs.. Therefore this should be seen as a straight swap. Personally I believe Shiel is worth pick 3 alone, however if GWS were to trade Shiel it would be in order to draft Petracca, and with us holding pick 2 and Saints pick 1 he won't fall to them.

Yeah im pretty convinced we wont be targeting the names everyone says we are. Tyson and Vince came from nowherr and I expect Roos has a similar strategy this year. North have quite a few quality players who arent getting a game.

Back on topic though, I wouldnt mind getting Giles and fazing out poor Russian

It will if we trade pick 2 instead of 3. I would be happy if we ended up with Sheil and Brayshaw!

Pick 3 and Toumpas for Dangerfield.

Tappy/Strauss to anyone for 4th rounder.

Pick 2, 20 & 4th rounder for Shiel, Giles and Frost.

Clark trade for Lamumba.

Robinson trade for Blease.

3rd rounder F/S for Stretch.

Gwilt, ROK and/or Clint Jones as DFA.

Seems like a good off season to me.

(will stop day dreaming now)

I don't want to predict what we should or shouldn't trade for Giles, but I certainly think that he is the type of person we need, Has showed he can play at the level, but struggles for opportunities with Sandilands and Clarke in front of him.

Huh? He's from GWS.

Don't mind your scenario generally with the exception of Toumpas. I feel that both Toumpas and Trengove [who many here want to trade] should be retained at least until the end of next year as i suspect that both will wnd up long term gun players for the MFC under Roos. Apart from GWS how many other Clubs have their members clambering to trade off thier No. 2 and No. 3 draft picks?

Shiel will be back in Vic next year one way or another. GWS have the ability to get something for him this season, as he has 1Yr of contract to go.

If the Saints use P-1 on Petracca or other, We have the ability to negotiate with Shiel & GWS, for Shiel & extras. IF the saints trade P-1 to GWS were up the ditch..

I'm very keen to get both Shiel & Jaksch into red & blue... as they are both definately coming back home to Vic in the next 12 months, P-3 + something, to get them both over the line.

    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
