Yeah but it wasn't aggressive enough.

One of the more bizarre and off the mark posts I've read on Demonland in a while.

They are all up for trade, Watts, Dunn, Howe, Toumpas. No one is safe, we are an ordinary football team, obviously some tough calls need to be made. I am a massive Jack Watts fan, I think he has a lot of talent, has class, great skills, but he has also had a lot of time to prove his worth. To date, I don't think Watts has proved his worth, I'd be looking to cut loose any player who sits in the potential category, that would be Watts, Toumpas, and to a lesser extent Howe. I would move Howe on for other reasons, I think he is pricing himself out.

According to 3aw not only will watts be up for trade

But toumpas dawes and wait for it Dunn ????

Who is safe ?

I wouldn't be unhappy if all of them were traded, depending on what we would get in return.

Dunn would be replaced in the 22 by Frost straight away.

Putting players up for trade isn't all that tough and ruthless if no-one takes them or we have to give them away.

All our trade talk seems to be about Howe, Watts, Dawes, Garland, Toumpas and now also Dunn.

I'm not sure how 'aggressive' it is for the club to be willing to consider offers for AFL-level players who are not critically important to the team, even if they are creditable and good contributors to culture.

'Aggressive' in my mind would be talking about trading Tom McDonald as a part of a deal to get Dangerfield. Or Gawn and our top pick for Prestia and big Zac.

For the record, I wouldn't approve of that level of ruthlessness. I think it comes at a secondary cost of increasing other player's willingness to move out.

Generally, when we struggle to assemble an AFL-level best 22, I'm reluctant to let any credible players go.

What the [censored]

If we trade Dunn I am done with this [censored]. Most important player on our list in close to a decade, holds down the back 6 like a champion and we want to entertain trades?

I'm glad this thread is a troll post otherwise I would be [censored]

If Dunn is traded that's it for me. May as well just relocate to Tasmania if that happens as it would be the end of the MFC.

? not sure I followed that lol

For mine Dunn is a Keeper. He's important for us.

I don't make sense at the best of times let alone with auto correct.

What players of quality want to be a dee?

Dunn has been consistent with some high quality games over the last 2 years, won't be a loss of he is traded. Frost steps in and up hopefully.

Lol. Yep, that'll really be the end of it. Our 3rd tall defender in his late 20s being traded. I'm still not sure what we're going to do in Matt Jones' absence either.

Nope.

His comment about how we should trade Christian Salem at the end of this year because he is 'injury prone' takes the cake for me.

The guy is a fool. Try not to take him too serious AF

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
