What

Recommended Posts

Let's play it safe, stick with 6, pick up the best KPF available, consider Petracca the new boom recruit, and open up the mythical war chest next year for whatever we deem to lack. I'm a bit weary of being too aggressive for a speculative kid.

Very Very smart post we have a new kid in truck we desperatly need a KPP for Hoges well said Edited by Middymalt

Any kid we get at ND6 who is above 6'4 won't be able to help Hogan for a few years...

is that necessarily an argument not to do it however ? Just asking

The Roos way us to bring in players to fill specific roles. I would have thought we would go this way. Possibly Goody and Macca prefer to hone some sapling into that player. Just a thought.

Can we temp fill the assistant fwd role til a newbie develops ?

We're not going to perfect a side in 2015/2016

All that said id be surprised of we have a decent pick if it doesn't go to a 185 sized prototype style mid who a foity talent first...athlete 2nd

Not everyone's going to have Pretrac's build at 18.

Wasn't Fyfe overlooked on the basis of his thin wirey frame?

And the fact he was on a undersized forward flanker who was a great contested mark.

Nobody foresaw him becoming a dominant mid, not even Freo.

Well Francis is 6.36 foot tall (192cm) which might as well be 6'4. Given his mobility and ability to play on a flank/midfield I'd say that he is more than capable of playing a role next to the Hulk given his marking ability

If pick 5 goes to the Suns that increases our chance of being able to get him also.

Take a stab? Well considering the club has those players in its sights isn't a stab as such, just a scope of the players were talking to. I'd say Gaff or Prestia most likely, and Parker not Hannebury my mistake - jet lag issue there I'm afraid, I'll edit if can be bothered, it's 5pm here in NYC & I'm feeling "meh"..

Ah jetlag, that explains your post then, ok.

Parker - not Hannerbury - I see. Yes, all four of those players have been talked about, so we will see in 12 months time I guess, not soon. I'll 'take a stab' and pick Prestia.

Do keep the positivity coming though to restore some balance.

If you weren't all so desperate you'd realise that Nudge is not referring to this trade period but the future. Soon for you blokes in the life of a rebuild in next Wednesday, the 'soon' that Nudge refers to is within the coming years.

Yes I gathered that fork, thanks for the appraisal on being desperate champ. That's a first.

True, but better to grab one now than pay extra later.

If we're to keep Dawes and Pedersen, I'd be more comfortable knowing there's a quality young tall developing in behind them.

Think if someone like Weideman has a year to develop, he might be able to start making some meaningful contributions in year 2.

Bell can play. I thought he had a solid year, improving type, was one of Carlton's best players this year.

I think they'll regret letting him go, and he will be a good pick up for Brisbane.

Gets the ball and then butcher's it.

Bell is returning to QLD as his father is very unwell.

Carlton would be shattered that he is leaving but good on them for not making life difficult for him.

His dad has cancer and there is no one left to look after his other siblings up in Brisbane.

Im pretty sure Carlton let him go for family reasons and nothing else.

If we're able to upgrade to pick 8 which means we have picks 6 & 8 does anyone see the possibility that we could get both Curnow and Francis.

That would be a dream for me

Probably more likely to get Curnow and Weideman.

Francis probably gone by our first pick.

With the report on the latest multi trade deal, we weren't apart of it.

St. Kilda give pick 5 to Port. In exchange for pick 10 and future first round.

Port then use the pick 5 plus 19 to the Suns for Charlie Dixon.

Suns then have Pick 3, 5 16 & 19

Now if we couldn't come to some arrangement between with those numbers on the table, we'd be mad.

Surely we could get 3 & 19 for 6 and a pick 3rd rounder of ours. Is workable.

We then have Curnow as a lock in the Draft.

Until we get something for Toumpas I don't know what we can offer Pies for Kennedy, or GWS for Bugg.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
