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

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
