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.

A trip around their lab is about as exotic as it could get.

He's going to the Pies, it's been a done deal for weeks. Forget the peripheral nonsense about Richmond or... heh, Carlton.

They're even less attractive than us. Good luck, Bolton! He might land a Vince/Cross/Tyson type during his honeymoon draft but he'll struggle beyond that.

The Pies were the club pushing hardest to trade future draft picks, so it's no surprise this was on the cards.

They know that Treloar added to their midfield equals finals, thus trading their first rounder for 2016 is no loss (if it's between pick 14-18)

Robbo on 360 just mentioned that we are right into Treloar and have offered obviously a bit of cash.

But going by the way Buckley was reacting id say he was Collingwood bound.

Well we couldn't have auditioned for him better than we did yesterday. What midfielder wouldn't want to kick the ball to Hogan for the next decade? :)

But I agree, I don't think he will end up anywhere else but Collingwood.

I think the Hawks will get one of Treloar or Danger. I don't think money is as a if an issue as others make out.

Sorry to put you on the spot dazzle, but can you give a short run down of what was said re: Treloar? Didn't get a chance to watch it. Cheers.

Well Robbo mentioned that we were obviously into Treloar and have offered a bit of money to him along with 3 other clubs.

When he tried to bait Bucks he played a pretty straight bat. Kept pestering whether Treloar had told Collingwood he wants to come and all Bucks said was he is still a GWS player and we (collingwood) are still going through our season with the exit interviews. Buckley just simply would not budge at all.

Cheers mate.

I suppose Bucks can't do more than that at the minute. Until Treloar says he wants out and nominates his destination it would be unprofessional to say more than he did. Nice to know we are at least having a crack at Treloar as well, although I feel we aren't really in contention for him.

He avoided answering the question like the plague.

If Bucks reaction is anything to go by Treloar is off to Collingwood.

Things can move pretty quickly in the player exchange market.

A week ago the Tiges were right in it as they were prepared to offer GWS 1st round picks from this year and next. Collingwood reportedly were thinking they could get away with using only their 1st rounder.

GWS want to encourage a bidding war, and we hold decent trading chips. They'd want us (along with St Kilda, Essendon and Carlton) involved in trade talks.

The Bulldogs weren't Tom Boyd's first preference, but they offered the best, most immediate path back to Victoria. Can't remember if Pickering's his manager, but he was obviously advised that the deal was too good to knock back.

All our recruiting team can do is put ourselves in the mix, offer him the best possible deal and see what happens.

The amusing part will be how Collingwood will try and justify Treloar's value after their Beam's tantrums last year.

Right back atcha Eddie.

It's the only time I've been remotely tempted to say GO Giants

I agree but I think someone's already mentioned two first rounders. This years and nexts.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
