I'm starting to fantasise that we will go to the draft and picks 2 and 3 will produce the most exciting superstars seen for a decade. That will keep me deluded for at least another six months at least.

It's expecting miracles to find players worth trading picks 2/3/23 for, to improve on current MFC "stars" like M. Jones, Terlich, Bail, McKenzie...?

The worst 5 players at Hawthorn would be a good place to start.

So you want to trade pick 2 for one of Hawthorn's worst 5 players?

Great strategy..... FMD.

Great misinterpretation of the entire point of my post.

I'm assuming because you can write that you can also read....

When's round 1? That should bring you back to earth. ;)

And the crux of your argument is it would take a "miracle" to trade pick 2 or 3 for a midfielder that serves these 3 criteria:

1. is better than the worst midfielders on our list

2. is better/more developed than the 18 year olds at the top of this year's draft

3. fits Roos' mould. Big tackler/gut runner/defensive game, etc.

...in a league filled with nearly 800 players.

You don't trade pick 2 or 3 simply for someone better than our worst midfielders.

I never said it would take a miracle, I said you're expecting a miracle. We're dangling pick 2 and 3 but nothing of worth has come up. Nothing we can do about that, and now you want to trade pick 2 or 3 simply for someone better than Terlich or Bail? No idea mate.

Today's dramatic developments from Trade Radio

Tom Boyd

GWS forward Boyd will walk out of the club regardless of whether or not he is traded to the Western Bulldogs this year. His manager Liam Pickering confirming that if he doesn't leave this year, he will walk when his contract expires at the end of 2015. GWS says they welcome Pickering's comments that Boyd will honour his contract with the club in 2015. They have again confirmed they will not trade him under any circumstances this year.

Dayne Beams … zzzz

It is now only a matter of time before the deal to get Beams to the Brisbane Lions is done. Collingwood president Eddie McGuire confirming the deal had been ticked off, with Brisbane Lions midfielder Jack Crisp being added to the package as a "sweetener" for the Pies.

Michael Voss

Voss has joined Port Adelaide as its midfield manager filling the role vacated by Phil Walsh who departs to coach Adelaide.

Jonathan Giles

GWS ruckman Giles has nominated Essendon as his preferred new home. The Giants ruckman met with both the Bombers and the Crows this week, but decided the Bombers would be a better fit.

Jack Trengove

Former Melbourne captain Trengove will not be traded this season after he failed a medical examination yesterday. Trengove re-aggravated the navicular bone injury and the Tigers decided they would not pursue a trade for him.

I know you're a sook, that's for sure.

Alright, here's a balanced look of the situation so far.

Melbourne: OUT - Clark, Frawley, Trengove.

IN - Garlett.

And what have Brisbane lost? They've gotten Beams for draft picks and a fringe player. They've done an excellent job this trade period.

Clark didn't play a game, Trengove was relegated to the VFL before being put on the LTI and Frawley was played at the opposite end of the ground for most of the season, to cover Hogan being out.

We gain Lumumba, who will improve our backline, and swap Byrnes for Garlett. Add in what we get for picks two and 3 and surely we replace one of M Jones or Riley with an a-grade mid.

Doesn't have to be superstars mate just some mildly competent footballers who can slot into our midfield. Someone like Lyons or Hallahan we should be targeting.

I don't see these guys bringing anything to the table, would rather take the kids in this years draft. Roos & Stone have had a keen eye for fringe players in the past, it's why Kennedy, McGlinn and Mumford ended up at Sydney. If we're not making a pitch for these guys it's because we don't think they are up to it.

Activity is not all it's cracked up to be, sometimes it's just running around in circles and getting nowhere. No point trading NQR's for other NQR's. Have some faith 'Gonzo'...

Lamumba is far from certain the way Colonwood are dragging out this trade. If Varcoe decides to stay with Geelong where does that leave the whole Clark situation with only one full day left to go?

Simple: we swap Mitch Clark straight to Collingwood for HL! They wouldn't be upset to have Mitch in their forward line with Cloke!

Mitch has to agree to a trade, and he would refuse that trade..

Maybe he wouldn't oppose it if they assured him that they planned to on-forward him to the Cats in exchange for Varcoe! Same three-way trade only happening in reverse order!

There are more people who work at MFC than Roosy.

In fact, did you know we even have people who have the job of "recruiting" players? Amazing hey!

1. Just confirming that Roosy is on holidays

2. Even if Roos didnt go I still reckon much wouldn't have happened

3. No need to be an [censored] about it. No wonder your a laughing stock and a pisstake on facebook.

Today's excitement should inlude:

Paddy Ryder zzz

Port Adelaide has upped its offer for Ryder as the deadline of the NAB Trade period approaches. The Power have said they're prepared to give up picks 17 and 37 for Ryder but the Bombers still want more.

Ryan Griffen and Tom Boyd

Both could be forced to stay at their respective clubs next season, despite both players requesting to be traded. The Giants are refusing to trade Boyd, despite his manager Liam Pickering saying he would leave at the end of his contract next season regardless.

We've heard it all before

Despite it being talked about for weeks, the Dayne Beams trade to Brisbane is expected to get done today. It will kick off a five-way trade that will see Brisbane receive Beams & pick 67 from the Magpies in exchange for picks 5, 25 and midfielder Jack Crisp. North Melbourne would then receive pick 25 from Collingwood in exchange for Levi Greenwood. As part of the deal, Heritier Lumumba will also move from the Magpies to Melbourne, Mitch Clark will move to Geelong, and Travis Varcoe will move to Collingwood.

Mitch Hallahan

Hallahan will decide over the next 24 hours whether he will stay a Hawk, or seek a trade to Gold Coast. The Herald Sun says the Gold Coast offered him a three-year deal, despite him originally stating he wanted to stay at Hawthorn.

    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.

    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
