You can't be serious mate

You were 18 once. You can't seriously tell me you haven't matured since then

If we don't pick him up, it's not going to be because of how he acted at school 4 years ago

when we were back in the tom lynch (crows) draft year, I was sentt a pm by a young poster saying lets not draft Lynch, new him at school,,,, he's so arrogant !!

we have to get past this bigotry or bias of this conservative club, if we make mistakes after they're recruited we straiten them up or sack them, simple.

What if a WA afl club has been telling Bennell to act up, & get sacked, so he can get home to WA cheaply ?

What if Jack Darling was advised to get in trouble at a Pub, Pre-Draft, if he doesn't want Mfc to draft him, & he wants to stay in WA?

I'd like to think that our list management team can achieve a much better outcome than that.

Wonder if Andrew Moore has ever appealed to our recruiting team. Like his size and right now he holds more appeal to me than Jake Melksham.

Yeah, someone mentioned the other day he can still be bundled up in a trade. I'll have a look and see if I can find it.

Very unlikely - he has to agree. Why would he agree if he can simply go wherever he wants as a RFA?

We can threaten to match the salary, but if we are trying to trade him - that doesn't make it seem like we are really going to match the salary...

Technically possible, but undeniably implausible.

Only if we match the offer. Yet to happen under free agency.

It can't just happen in a bundle.

Cheers.

Yep, Moore's on my shopping list for the off season. Could be a real valuable utility. In our 22 if you ask me.

All I have heard this week is that MFC would be mad to get rid of Watts and Howe (AFL 360 Maclure & King and in one paper). At delisting time expect those without currency and out of contract who will not be offered new contracts i.e. Bail, Riley, McKenzie and maybe Terlich as well as the retirees Cross & Jamar, maybe even Hunt onto rookie list to a total of 6 and of. Roos said the other night uncontracted players like Howe can still be negotiating until end of October and of course Garland is a free agent. Any movement of contracted players is a bit more complicated and there are those who want to leave like those at GWS and GC who want to leave and those who don't want to leave like Jack who openly states he wants to stay.

When did Beams move on from Collingwood? It was really late. I don't expect any major changes at the first announcement and no real surprises

as a top up to our list, obviously we won't get 8 A graders, maybe 1, or 2 IF we are very lucky, so I'm happy for him as a replacement of Bail, MJones, or McKenzie,

Melbourne delists:

Fitzy

McKenzie

Riley

Bail

No surprises I guess but always sad a demon player go.

They did their best in tough circumstances.

Wish them well.

That makes at least 6 list changes.

I would still keep Watts, he has upside and possibly plenty of it.

For mine the sad part is out of the six gone plus 9 I've mentioned, Cross was the best of the lot. That says a lot about why we are where we are. We've clung on for too long blaming everyone but the players 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

    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.
