I wouldn't call Redden a big fish but he's certainly legal size and then some. All talk surrounding him has gone a little quiet over the past week. Redden, Melksham and Bugg would be a considerable improvement to our midfield stocks in a "quiet trade year".

    Our big fish is Dion Prestia at the end of 2016. Assuming we are still looking better than GC then.

    So there is no big fish for 2015, what a surprise.

    It's go a long way to run AF. How many of these trades are done within the last few days and hours?

    There's always the internet. ;)

    Bernie Vince?

    Two years ago. Last year, there was talk about a big fish all off season and then nothing.

    Yeah but I am pretty sure that what was rumoured at the time was true - that we had something big cooking but it all fell apart when Trengove failed that medical. Remeber we had a spare pick 3 also

    This time we have pick 6, Howe, Toumpas and god knows who else they might sacrifice for the greater good

    I am not writing off Roosy just yet

    Glad I'm off to London this week, because I couldn't be bothered sitting through another trade week without landing anyone decent.

    I've lived overseas for a long time, and can assure you that no matter where you are, having an internet connection makes it very difficult to hide from the disappointment.

    I'm just saying I'd prefer not to wait. I arrive back in the country after trade week is over, so less [censored]-teasing for me and just the real news at the end of it all.

    Haha, I'll probably check in to Demonland each day anyway. :P

    There will be no big fish this year I think, however next year Wingard is out of contract and if we could get him I'd lose my [censored]!

    He won't leave PA. From memory he made it clear that if he was drafted by a club outside SA that he would return home when his contract was up.

    Thanks for smashing my dreams.

    Chad Wingard at MFC= making Jaded happy for the rest of eternity

    Chances of this happening= 0%

    I notice O Wines contract end 2016, he also fits the profile of 21-24 and competitive. Imagine if we pulled him out from under PA's noses.

    Pipe dream I know but.......?

    Apologies if someone has brought this up already, but I am sure some one will disabuse me of this dream nonetheless. Have at it D'Landers! Have at it!

    Ha ha I have been waiting for some one to bring wines name into this.

    I do not think he would ever come to us.

    Perhaps as often happens in fishing...the big one....got away !! :rolleyes:

    I think it's time that the big fish is one or all of:

    Hogan

    Petracca

    Brayshaw

    Salem

    Surely? One of them? Please.

    Not going to lie; every time I read those names together, I get extremely excited.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
