You would have to think if Griffen does get to GWS it involves pick 4 which should remove GWS ability to trade up to get Petracca. Come on dogs get the deal done.

not necessarily unfortunately, they also want Jaksch. could be a swap & pick, but Jaksch has nominated Visy park?

Given Brisbane CEO Greg Swann's public views on the worth of James Frawley, we should manage to get Merrett for pick #75 without any trouble.

I'm so glad I have you guys to relay this stuff so I don't have to listen to it myself. Must be torture.

Today starts off mainly all about GWS

Bulldogs-Giants Battle

A tense battle between the Giants and the Bulldogs is set to kick off today, as the Giants attempt to secure Ryan Griffen from the club. The Bulldogs insist they will hold Griffen to his contract, despite him requesting a trade.

Mark Whiley and Kristian Jaksch

The Giants could send Whiley, Jaksch and pick 19 to the Carlton in exchange for pick 7. The Giants would then use picks 4 and 7 to attempt to trade with the Bulldogs for Ryan Griffen.

Joel Patfull

The Giants are also today expected to secure Patfull from the Lions in exchange for pick 21. That pick could then be used in a deal to secure Allen Christensen from the Cats.

Swans fuming

The Sydney Swans are fuming today after the AFL told the club they cannot trade any players into their club this year or next, unless they are prepared to bring an immediate end to the cost of living allowance.

Paddy Ryder

Ryder says he feared for the safety of his unborn son at the height of the club's supplements saga. In an extensive interview in the Herald Sun, Ryder says he felt "badly" let down by the club.

WJ - meanwhile Melbourne waits on a number of the above and other deals to pan out before its own deals can be finalised

Pathetic that players now run clubs. They say "boo hoo I'm unhappy" and coaches get sacked.

GC, Adelaide and Bulldogs have all performed to about the level of their list last year IMO. This isn't a case of clubs being horrible like we were under Neeld. It's quite sad.

Imagine if I had the power to get my managers sacked for being incompetent... and they actually ARE incompetent. Oh life would be blissful!

Are you kidding? Sack McCartney, i don't care less, but if Griffen wants to stay after requesting a trade AS THE CAPTAIN tell him where to go, Bulldogs.

Its interesting that Griffin chose GWS as the only place he wanted to go.

Same day AFL restricts SFC from doing "Buddy Like" deals. Could Ryan have been groomed by Sydney but had to suddenly change as AFL said No because of the further outrage?

Or just co-incidental?

The tail may be wagging the dog, but the players need a coach they respect.

Port Adelaide clearly play for their coach, they respect him, he earned that respect.

McCartney was a bit of an authoritarian - and that is never going to work with a fragile list.

So the dogs do need a new coach, and this is regardless of Griffen threatening to leave.

Today's players will respond better to a coach who's ego has completely disappeared, that is why Buckley is also finding life tough.

These coaches aren't adapting to the times, they know their footy - but their people handing skills are lacking.
We are lucky to have Paul Roos.

A Dogs caller just suggested that they get a great coach like Guy McKenna, Bomber Thompson, or, wait for it... Mark Neeld!

I nearly died.

I'd love to see Neeld back in box crippling another club, I miss watching those awkward post-game interviews where he would drag a player in with him after a 120 point belting because he couldn't face the media by himself.

    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
