If GWS decide to play hard ball.... maybe then its not such a done deal

Afterall whos to say GWS don't say f u Collingwood, we'll let him go to the PSD afterall we have list full of talent... Just to prove a point and stuff over the Pies

It would be nice

It sets an awful precedent though that would have ramifications for how they are treated by other clubs in the future. If the Pies come to the trade table and play ball then Treloar goes to the Pies.

Imagine if they offered a good deal and GWS told them to get stuffed? No one would want to deal with them again.

Face facts - Treloar will be a Pie by the end of the 2 trade weeks.

Agree with your top two points

Its not set in stone he will be a pie. history says though he more then likely will be

I believe the pies are pretty reasonable to deal with (negotiate these things) I was more thinking if the Pies give an average offer and try force GWSs hand..... I should have mentioned its highly unlikely

I agree with that though - if the Pies try to low ball GWS then they should definitely either send him to the PSD or try and look to deal with others. Pies won't do that though... well, they might to begin with, but if they see sense they'll do the right thing as any club would be stoked to have Treloar.

I don't see why some posters have to comment on (mindless) positive speculation. Just let posters have their fun if they want it. That's the fun at this time of year (rather than the finals series, unfortunately). Go easy on the negativity for a while. It's tiresome.

So "reality" has now become "negativity"?

Happy to let posters have their "fun", as long as you can promise that none of them will at any stage slag off Taylor or Viney for "letting" Dangermouse & Treloar (or Bennell or Aaron Hall or ...) get to other clubs. I'm all for indulging in fantasy, as long as it doesn't get confused with reality.

Is it weird that there has been no mention of us being interested in or going hard for Treloar?

I don't know what to think of it...

Josh Mahoney wasn't even asked about it on SEN this arvo and I thought Schwarz would be the first to ask?

Has he just refused to talk us like Caddy did those years back?

I think you've answered your own question - he may well have indicated to us early that he has no interest in playing for us, much like Caddy and Taylor Adams have done in the past. The club have probably decided not to waste their time and focus their energies elsewhere.

If the Saints are sniffing around though then I see no reason why he would go there over us. Wouldn't make any sense to me.

Perhaps.

The 'Saints in the running' talk throws a spanner straight at that line of thinking.

The Sainters.

Fark me.

Surely Pies don't have room for both Treloar and now Aish has nominated them. I guess it won't be hard to pick up Kennedy

Maybe they've given up on Trelor and grabbed Aish before the Hawks

Why is Treloar not our number one target?

He, Wines, Mitchell and Prestia are the best under 23 midfielders in the game, and Treloar wants a return to VIC.

We should be a major player for his services, and he is worth any long term deal.

Who says he's not...

Yep I'm surprised as well

I would think he fits all criteria to bring in a potential gun

Surely of hed consider the blues (not i belive Andy Maher) we could cash him up and get the deal done with gws

Esit - phone... ahh bugger it

What the.. didn't he already nominate Collingwood??

Fat Ed already promised his Mrs a job at his media company. Unless the AFL investigated that and disqualified them from getting his signature... though it hasn't stopped them in the past (the ludicrous Footy Show guest appearance fees for Swan, Cloke, Shaw, etc.)

The press are taking the GWS stance of 'we will deal with anyone until a deal is done' thing and suggesting that all these clubs will try and trump the Pies to his signature. There is nothing in it as they would have had their chance to put forward their case all year... and he still chose the Pies. Unless the Pies decide to become tighter than a mermaids bra then he will end up at the Emirates with McChins.

    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
