I really hate this increasing practice of young players (< 23) 'nominating' clubs and invariably getting to their nominated club. If you're out of contract and want out, then clubs should be able t

Why anyone would go to Essendon at the moment is beyond me. A shell of a club.

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

    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.
