Next week is going to be full on.

Our list is going to look very different

It had to happen.

Drinks...

Captain Obvious to the rescue.

Followed by Sidekick Sarcasm

(nar WYL I heard Paul the other day saying it didn't have to happen and he wanted to keep the list as it is...)

Just home...just read this... hole in one ...well done

others could learn

Agree - good work Mr Smoker !!

Griffen's move must put us in the game. The Bulldogs want early picks to use on this year's crop of talls - and we are the only sellers around. If they can drag a young gun out of GWS for Griffen and give him to us - the Bulldogs can get what they want.

Patton's knee has gone and they wont get Boyd. What other currency can GWS offer them?

If the Doggies could get a top 10 pick and a guy like Tomlinson out of this disaster they'll be doing well.

Once again, where has this come from? Multiple posters are sprouting this.

They may not be able to stop him, mate. If he says he wants to come back to Victoria and the MFC can offer pick 2 or 3, I think they take it and run. It's the same leverage we have with Dangerfield. We're actually incredibly lucky with this new FA paradigm (that has encouraged players, young and old to request a new home at will) coming into play when we have all these picks. Roos and co have been ready for it though. It's sounding ominous to me...in a good way.

I heard Wallet say it on trade radio, something along the lines of Petracca is the kid they really want if they can get him. But your point stands, I don't have evidence myself.

Now do you have any evidence Treloar wants back to VIC?

I don't have evidence of Treloar, because I wasn't saying he did want to come back to Victoria. If we were after him, we'd have to convince him presumably.

That would be the best outcome possible.

In some ways I would prefer Treloar to Danger and, like most here, I rate him in the top few of the league. Dangerfield, Jones, Treloar, Tyson, Viney and Cross gives us top 8 potential.

Ended up that it was just Jay Clark on SEN saying that if Dees traded Trengove for pick 12, it could give them enough early picks to be able to trade for two guys of the calibre of Dangerfield and Treloar.

It's not like the pen is hovering over the dotted line.

Richmond were to complete their medical assessment of JT this morning.

Keep hearing rumblings about some A Graders on route to the dees. Talks with Port Adelaide are ongoing about the offloading of pick 12 to them but that is old news when it comes our way for Trenners. It will be a sad day to see the heart and soul of our club to go. But we will lose more off field than we will on field. His best seems behind him which is strange for a 23 y.o. He isnt going to get any quicker.

As happy as I would be to head to the draft with Picks 2 and 3 and take home two of McCartin, Petracca, Brayshaw (who has injured his foot) I just cant see Roos going around with more kids. The expectation will be for Salem to really step up this year and unless traded the likes of Toumpas and Viney will be expected to have break out years after three preseasons.

So with a little more than 60 hours to go until the close of trade week, some big names are to be thrown around and expected to land. Its the unspoken ones which seem secondary to Beams, Griffan, Ryder and co.

Game on Roosey.

It is often mentioned that Roos has said something to the effect of not wanting too many kids, does anyone actually have the quote. As i wonder if he was referring to light underdeveloped players as opposed to some of the big bodied draftees available.

The quote was that he didn't draft talls out of the TAC. The reasons being that TAC rules don't allow flooding/ double teaming and that you don't know what the quality of opposition they're playing on is like each week, eg one week they're on someone the same size, the next they're playing on someone a foot shorter than them.

I reckon we'll work this all out buy late Thursday

Luke Parker.....................

would be a dream scanario

still young, about to tun 22 and averaged 26 touches, 6 tackles and kicked 25 goals

On the verge of greatness this kid, he is just so damaging

Just won the Swans B&F. They won't trade him in a pink fit.

Might be time to get comfortable with the fact that there is no hidden target and Lamumba, Garlett and Frost might be it.

We only had 3 trades last year too.

Trade week(s) is notorious for the panicked last day.Still 2 days to go ^_^

We are secretly/quietly pressing hard for a midfielder from ****** who was at the Brownlow night. Will have to move from where he lives though.

    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.

    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
