The Saints put an offer to Tim last week. He just wants an opportunity to play. One thing he has in his favour is that he is a pretty accurate kick. A Traralgon boy - and top bloke.

Of all the things that have happened, *this* is the thing that makes you angry? It's ancient history. Let it go.

Thats where I hope Fitzpatrick finally becomes an established player for us.200cm super quick forwards don't grow on trees.

Said he was impressed with facilities at Seaford. One of the few at the Saints who would be. Has anyone told him they're leaving that dump?

So let me get this right, if Sydney delist Membrey - and he nominates MFC - we could take him?

Is this right? I am not sure about the rules.

I understand he nominated St Kilda during the recent trade week, but that means nothing now.

Also reported on big footy that Sydney offered St Kilda the option of taking Membrey a late pick, so they could grab Frost in the PSD.

If Sydney delist Membrey he can go to the club of his choice - St Kilda.

If they do not delist Membrey, he can leave through the PSD as an out of contract player - to St Kilda.

He is going to St Kilda.

Roosy needs to get in his ear then.

Membrey is a Gippsland lad, Casey is basically the home club for Gippsland kids.

Membrey is gettable and it would stick it up the Saints.

This is what I don't understand about Pre-Season Draft with Free Agency now.

Tim Membrey can be delisted and become a DFA and pick any club he wants to go to.

Lets say Sydney offer a contract to Tim Membrey, Tim then declines the contract and they have no option other than to delist him therefore he becomes a DFA... so what is the point to the Pre-Season draft then?

If they want him to re-sign they will not delist him. If they think that he will re-sign once he sees which clubs have picks in the PSD, they will not delist him.

I agree that it is borderline redundant now, as players can also go into the National Draft. But it is one way to more easily get to the bottom couple of clubs if one were so inclined.

I doubt it, if we were interested we would have already made a move.

once upon a time you could place a price on your head in the PSD but whoever was prepared to pay it picked you up ( ist in best dressed)

- so no one nominated. Has this changed ?

Membrey is St Kilda bound each way you spin it. Saints shafted us by forcing our hand in the Frost deal. I hope someone else slips through to the PSD pick 2 that make the saints regret taking Membrey.

Not sure the Saints shafted us. I think we were given a heads up about what they were going to do.

They need Frost more than us and far more than a 188cm forward.

They were ready to either give a late pick to Swans or get him delisted meaning they would retain first pick in the PSD. Then they would have nabbed Frost in the PSD.

Now they are committed to Membrey and we have the first live pick in the PSD. Hopefully that becomes useful. It may not but at least it is there for us.

We effectively got Billy and Frost for 23 as we got pick 40 back and 53 as a bonus.

The club may have already the decided the likely player we wanted to take with 23 will probably be there at 40 anyway.

Frost can now start training with the boys and Mahoney said that is invaluable to a young player.

As others said last year we lost Hannath in the PSD. We have our man.

So now St Kilda want Membrey to train with them early.

Bad luck I say, can't have your cake and eat it - should've picked him up with a late pick.

The AFL should knock this on the head.

Why, it has been done in the past.

If they guarantee to draft him in PSD 1 he can train with them.

That makes our pick the first live pick, a great result in days gone by, but not as valuable under the new rules. However still can be useful.

I thought, like you, that "permission to train" with a view to drafting in the PSD was routine ?

The only issue I can see is that Membrey is a Swan until October 31 when his contract expires. Unless delisted, contracted players should not be allowed to train with another team.

But as the AFL makes this up as they go - who knows what is possible.

So he was delisted today and Saints will pick him up tomorrow as a delisted free agent so they would have got "our" Frost in the PSD if we hadn't have used pick 23 on him. What do people think about it now that we know that. I'd say they made a bloody good call or we would have missed him.

I'd say the rules are super dodgy. And that we should've made a trade earlier in the period - pick 23 for 35 and 45 (just spitballing but I feel a club would've done something like this) and ontraded the latter pick so we had our 3rd pick in the draft a little higher.

But yes better we cottoned on late than never.

I also feel aggrieved that we had so many high spots in the PSD over the years but being unable to leverage quality players from other clubs.

I agree, but at the same time, who's to say that Frost wouldnt have also been delisted, and walked to us for free as a DFA?

But do you take that risk especially when his team don't want to lose him unlike Membrey who was surplus to requirements at the Swans. Plus the Hannath factor. Once bitten twice shy.

    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

    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.
