That's why we're letting Richmond look at him first.

Lets be clear.    If Dion chooses us as his preferred destination, he will end up a Dee.   You can never have too many A Graders.  Those who say we have too many players of his ilk are

It would be bloody hard to leave the GC when they're on the up and coming quickly. I just cant see it

Gold Coast arent guaranteed to do anything great, sure they are loaded with potential but so are a bunch of other clubs.

GNF - the guy that told us we offered two picks for Dangerfield and that Jake Lever was a lock at pick 3?

To be fair as well, he was the guy who said in no uncertain terms that Neeld had gotten the entire playing group off side and needed to go. He was also the guy who said that Paul Roos was a certainty to sign on.

Cue Prestia coming out and tearing the game apart on Saturday!

He's a jet. Plays just like Jonesy. Wins it in close then bursts in to space and uses it well.

But I don't really love these rumours, especially at this time of year. Not sure Garry Lyon has done anyone any favours.

When has he us any favours?

no guarentees ever but to me they have the best young list by far in the comp. quality all over the park with heaps of speed, skill and hardness - key fwds, depth in the midfield etc. from next year they will be in the top 4 for most of the next 5-6 years IMO. (if not starting this year)

Won't happen. Hawks have him stitched up *if* he comes to Melbourne. They'll have the cap space and a few players retiring and no one will be able to match it.

I don't know but maybe we did offer 2 picks for Danger and maybe Lever was in the picture up to the point when it became clear McCartin would go at 1 and Petracca would be available.

The long and short of it is that Gary Lyon has never done us any favours. He always picks against us in the celebrity footy tipping, demonstrating that his desire to look good in the tipping is more important to him than appearing to support our young players. You never see Eddie Maguire tip against Collinwood (not ever)!

Not sure if serious or an April Fools gag!!!

Not intentionally. That presser declaration that Didak wasn't in the car with Shaw was hilarious!

Given that Prestia is in the core of GC midfield, it would take a massive offer to prize him away.

IMO our money would be best directed at a GWS midfielder not getting an opportunity - but with probably more scope than Prestia.

I'd be looking to throw an extremely high offer at Josh Kelly, he has more scope than Prestia - and Kelly might be limited in opportunity.

2 players this year we should keep a close eye on are Kelly and Whitfield. If we have a war chest, then throw it at one of those.

GWS love Kelly.

Stupid comment, and if you are a true supporter you will admit that is a stupid comment, because he has done lots for this club, like many players..

His decisions of late gave been bad ones, but done with the right intentions.

They probably loved Boyd, Tyson and O'Rourke.

But money talks. Players want to be closer to home.

We should put a very big offer to Josh Kelly or Lachie Whitfield.

For what it's worth, I heard this from Sheedy himself. GWS was absolutely stoked to land Kelly.

He was also laughing at us trading Kelly for Tyson (not to forget Salem). Sheeeeeeds appears to have underestimated Tyson. Our conversation was about round 2 last year.

In fairness, he didn't say bad things about Tyson - just that Kelly is going to be a superstar.

Don't reckon GWS will be letting Kelly go anytime soon.

Yes I did

And its now 2015 and a new season so its irrelevant

Yes you're right... they have probably got better with another pre season into their youth.

This is the guy that declared Scully the next Ablett jr.

I don't take Kev to seriously in his old age. Great coach back in his day.

    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
