it would be so Richmond like if they gave up their 1st rounder in 2015 and 2016 for Treloar and he then had a career ending injury

Richmonds first round draft picks have been a proven success since Hardwick too over.

I think you mean 'Melbourne like'...

Conca and Ben Lennon haven't been anything to write home about

To early to call on Cory Ellis

I will give you Vlastuin and Brandon Ellis

Under the new FD I think we have nailed it with Salem & Brayshaw

Treloar is a similar player to Anthony Miles. If Richmond were to pay overs for Treloar, we should ask the question to Miles.

I think MIles is a decent player, you know exactly what you are going to get. He is hard nose, and Richmond might be open to trading him out in order to retain their 2016 first selection. Whether or not Miles is worth our first rounder is probably another question, I am unsure, that would be something we'd need to weigh up. I would say on last years form, he is worth our first rounder, but he has been a bit off this year.

Treloar is in a whole different league to Miles, and has so much more speed, skill and X factor.

Another bizarre comment by you..

Treloar and Miles are two completely different players.

And first of all why the hell would Richmond trade out one of their up and coming midfielders who has been ine of the important member of the team thats driven this club up the ladder. Go watch his game against Hawthorn and you will see he was the best midfielder on the night.

In the Hun today (or yesterday) it says if Treloar leaves it will be for the deal that best suits the club.

It would be nice if that's not all bluff as it would bring us right back in the picture and unfortunately Essendon (until they offer a second round pick) and Carlton.

Pick 5 and Jeremy Howe would be a deal they'd have to consider surely. I reckon he's going to the pies or Hawks though.

Yeah i'd do that in a heartbeat, but he doesn't fit the Roos mold of big midfielders

If thats the case then why is Jack Viney getting a game..

Sheesh i know Roosy likes big bodied midfielders but if the opportunity came that Treloar would be available Roos would be the first to welcome him with open arms. He is a future brownlow medalist.

As i said in my post, i'd do it in a heartbeat. Treloar would instantly become our best player. Roosy just seems to be infatuated with big-bodied midfielders for some reason.

Once he increases his running capacity and settles into the AFL environment a bit more, i reckon VDB could be this for us.

It's apples and oranges though, as i'd have a better chance of winning the lottery than Treloar coming to the Dees.

This is our biggest problem, the club desperately needs a signing of this calibre.

Not that it matters but any idea of who he went for pre AFL career?

Prestia was a keen Dees supporter.

Again I know this doesn't matter. Its been nice watching Harmes play for the club he loved as kid.

Often doesn't seem to matter though does it unfortunately? Was surprised that Prestia allegedly turned our advances away.

If I was playing at another club and had the opportunity to join the Dees I would like to think I'd do it in a heartbeat!

Its hard not to argue after watching Mundy just bully has over the weekend.

I doubt this 'Roos mold' people talk about is really much different to what any coach thinks. If you had two players similar in clearance skills and contested pill but one was a foot taller and can compete in the air it would be obvious who we/anyone would chase.

Still, if someone whos a tad shorter but a really good player comes available, of course we would come a knocking. Just like we did with Prestia

Carlton I think, but looks like a Collingwood supporter.

It wouldn't surprise me if we didn't already gave Prestia signed.

Richmond-like?

You sure you don't mean Melbourne-like?

(*quickly ducks for cover*)

No. Melbourne-like would be signing a big deal and then turning out to be the biggest bust in free agent history.

For a career-ending injury or other issue to be "Melbourne-like", the player would need to be in the midst of or having just had a career-best season. Think Jakovich, Jurrah, Clark, Tingay, etc etc

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
