Today should be a lesson for those who wanted to do the trades early and for those who continually wanted to play hard ball. MFC and GWS clearly had a plan from the beginning of trade period to use t

The last ten pages on this thread feature some of the worst demonland posts i have ever read. The trade period isn't a race - the club that gets the most trades earliest doesn't win. Because rushing

I'd probably rather keep Tyson if that were their offer.

I suppose that is what I'm trying to get at. What is the point of his constant statements about it? Adelaide won't change tact or strategy just because of his whining.

Campaigning for the future removal of the restricted form of FA.

He's not working in Danger's best interests now, he's thinking of easing the movement of other clients in future.

Talking about Parker now....

Apparently moves have been made towards Parker but he has no interest in leaving the Swans.

Looking at staying at Sydney with the possibility of signing a contract extension before the end of next year.

Connors is such a [censored], imploring Adelaide to accept the compensation and let Dangerfield go.

Just let the clubs handle it.

i don't understand his attitude

client is rfa and adelaide perfectly within their rights to match offer......them's the rules

what happens then is a diiferent scenario and really outside of fa. it is essentially back to the old ooc status

to avoid the matching offer the cats could always up their offer....that's their choice and it is a market, but they want their cake and eat it

it would also suit connors to get more loot for his client (commission)

anyway i'm sure crows aren't taking advice from connors. it's between carlton and crows i'd say

Why do people up trade scenarios?

I presume the missing word is dream. If so I ask the same question each year. Different strokes and all that and I applaud the effort to hypothesise deals that are out of all but the club's control, but I don't get it either.

Sounds like a job for Petraccattack.

If the Tigers want Tyson they can give us Pick 12 & Griffiths. Otherwsie not interested.

No... we are not improving our list with that trade.

Griffiths is a fringe 22 player at best for the Tigers and would not be an upgrade on Dawes or Pederson.

While Pick 12 in this shallow draft is unlikely to net you a player close to Tyson's ability.

Why would we entertain a trade for a player who in 2 years has finished 2nd (2014) and 13th (2015) in our B&F.

Was clearly struggling with injury in 2015 as well.

What is it with your bizarre obsession with wanting to recruit players not good enough to get games at their current side?

I'm assuming by players not good enough to get a regular game, you mean players who played 16 games this year and the games he missed mainly being due to injury?

Firstly I'd be thrilled if the whole Tyson being traded thing goes nowhere. Love him and would rather he stay.

But disgree that the scenario does not improve the list. Griffiths fills the 2nd key forward/ruck role that we're after. Turning 25 next year and getting ready to hit his straps. Watch his first quarter and a half against us in Round 4 this year before he hurt his ankle. Was looking extremely dangerous and I reckon is due for a big 2016. Then at Pick 12 we could potentially pick up someone like Balic, Tucker, Bonner etc.

On the other hand as I said, I'm more then keen to have Dom stay and watch him recapture his 2014 form next year.

He's now been in the system for 6 years and has played as a key forward the entire time with occasional stints in the ruck.

Not once in those 6 years has he even averaged a goal a game.

Set your sights higher.

    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
