Howie got his wish to spend more time in the Melbourne forward line.

The hatred for Howe on here is putrid and really sick. Get a grip people, he is a footballer who is clearly being pushed out of his club and he is looking for a another club and contract to secure hi

No way North are interested. He's under 30.

Seedsman and pick ~25 to drop 3 spaces in the first round? GC could then package their second rounders for a first rounder. Not a bad deal overall.

It all depends on how much we want Parish though; it'll likely cost us Howe, pick 6 and pick 25 for a return of pick 3, Kennedy and Bugg/Melksham/Rosa.

Parish is a jet. Seeing the look on Dodoro's face if we snag pick 3...priceless.

His highlights weren't impressive. That said hope it makes the Dons not want to deal with us. That way we get Parish and not Melksham

I work for Champion Data, capturing AFL and TAC stats every weekend during the season. Seen every game Parish has played in over the past two seasons, he's a star.

Alright, looking at the filth's list there's a player of similar age and games experience who could fill some of the Suns needs. Ben Reid!

So we trade Picks 6 to Gold Coast with Howe, Pick 25 & 64 to the filth.

Collingwood trade Kennedy & Pick 47 to us while sending Reid & Seedsman to Gold Coast

Gold Coast trade Pick 35 to Collingwood while Pick 3 & Gorringe to us (takes care of our ruck issues).

We loose picks 6, 25, 64 & Howe

Gain Pick 3, 47, Kennedy & Gorringe

Collingwood loose Reid, Seedsman, Kennedy & Pick 47

Gain Howe, 25, 35 & 64

Gold Coast loose Picks 3, 35 & Gorringe

Gain Pick 6, Reid & Seedsman

Probably to complicated though.

If it is true that Howe had meeting and a detailed package put to him over the last month but has only now let us know his preference, he really is a selfish ....

Screw him and his parasitic manager, would prefer to force him into the PSD than get bent over by them

Better than Francis?

They are apples and oranges. Parish is the best mid available and Francis the best utility. You can't really go wrong with either, it's just what the needs of your club are.

The best current AFL player analogy I could think of would be Parish (Marc Murphy) and Francis (Goddard)

I agree with Roos here. Means fa

Some do well ...some step up...some have already reached their Zenith.

I like the idea of taking kids after a few years.. just swap picks for established.

You're not wrong... U/18's could be regarded as a 'kids league'.

But it's the best indication of talent available to recruiters, and there are standouts at the grade.

For what it's worth, Parish trained with Collingwood last pre-season and didn't look out of place as a 17 year old.

Don't be put off by our history with top 5 picks, we have the right people in charge now.

Something like

GC gain: Seedsman, Pick 6 (From Melb) Pick 25 (From Melb)

Coll gain: Howe, Pick 22 (From GC)

Melb gain: Kennedy, Pick 3 (From GC), Pick 44 (From Coll)

Seems pretty fair all round

GC have already traded 22 to Freo in the Bennell deal.

...I think we've shown it isn't like picking apples off a tree. How's securing Prestia going? Dangerfield? Kennedy? Sloane? Parker? Lynch?

No A-graders are interested in being traded to us right now. We have to build our core from the draft and do it the hard way first.

Ch 7 reported after speaking to Melbourne IF he chooses Collingwood it will take alot more than a straight swap for Kennedy. It inferred we have a deal agreed in principle with Suns if he chooses there.

Finally we seem to have grown a pair. FINALLY.

This whole choosing collingwood better be speculation. I want Parish

Who doesn't?

We don't want him to choose Gold Coast, we NEED him to. Parish is a gun as Monde said a Marc Murphy like figure. A+ midfielders won't want to relocate here as of now, our midfield needs to be built in the draft and Parish looks to be the only option for competing with the best midfields in the comp

    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

    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
