Did anyone hear Plough's mini review?

Yep, didn't say too much that we don't already know.

- Said Watts and Dawes are on the table and might be traded for the right deal

- Melbourne are into Melksham and Ben Kennedy

- We have trouble in appealing as a destination club for the big names.

Don't remember anything particularly noteworthy to be honest.

Did anyone hear Plough's mini review?

As expected it was pointless. Told us nothing.

But Josh Mahoney is about to be interviewed, so hopefully some juicy stuff coming.


Josh on now:

Melksham, done a lot of work on him, want run and curry. He has indicated that he wants to join Melbourne
 

Been in contact with Dorodo, they are on the same wavelength insofar as what a fair deal would be (he didn't say what that was)


Ben Kennedy monitired closely. Have spoken to him. One of a number of payers we have discussed.

No offer for Danger. Said 10 mill over 6 was ridiculous and disrespectful to playing list.

Interest in Thomas Bugg. Fits our profile.

Jeremy Howe, still a chance to stay on list. He is testing the market, there are a range of clubs that have a certain monetary value on him.

Jack Watts - Thinks he will still be a Melbourne, initial interest from other clubs but no follow ups.

Jimmy Toumpas- Thought he showed improvement, been hampered by injury, still thinks there is still in AFL player there, he thinks Jimmy may want to go home but is exploring opportunites

Dawes - Bit of a vague answer, but said that its other clubs that might be talking about this.

Aaron Black- No discussions with him

Josh on now:

Melksham, done a lot of work on him, want run and curry. He has indicated that he wants to join Melbourne

Perhaps we are looking to rookie an Indian or something.


Josh on now:

Melksham, done a lot of work on him, want run and curry. He has indicated that he wants to join Melbourne

Well, the run does often follow the curry.

(Seriously, thanks for keeping the rest of us updated. Even if it is waffle)

Colin Garland - Very close to a deal, next few days will be announced.

Brief summary of what was said.

- Highlighted the clubs desire to bring in competitors

- Club has talked and made progress with both Melksham, Ben Kennedy . Didn't really talk about what the club will need to give up in exchange for them

- Nothing has been offered to Patrick Dangerfield.

- Bugg was noted as another option for the Dee's

- There is still a chance Howe will stay a Demon. Said decision time for Jeremy is approaching

- Watts and Dawes will most likely remain Demons.

- Toumpas is looking at other opportunities.

- Aaron Black was mentioned as an option by Barrett. The club has not yet considered him as an option

- Colin Garland should be re-signed over the next couple days.

Well, the run does often follow the curry.

(Seriously, thanks for keeping the rest of us updated. Even if it is waffle)

Reading between the lines.

Interest in Howe from others (multiple) I think gone.

No interest in Watts

Active in chasing Freeman and Bugg

Very active in chasing everyone, but every club is

Toump all but gone, he wants out but club see potential and would keep him

Garland to be announced as staying in coming days.


Josh on now:

Melksham, done a lot of work on him, want run and curry. He has indicated that he wants to join Melbourne

Quite often Curry can lead to extra run out of the back line

With Aaron Black, they said that they havent considered him yet. But they are looking at someone to assist Jesse Hogan

Reading between the lines.

Interest in Howe from others (multiple) I think gone.

No interest in Watts

Active in chasing Freeman and Bugg

Very active in chasing everyone, but every club is

Toump all but gone, he wants out but club see potential and would keep him

Garland to be announced as staying in coming days.

Chris, just to clarify, do you mean Howe is gone or the interest in him from others has disappeared?

Reading between the lines (my own interpretation):

Melksham will be a Demon in 2016

Kennedy and Bugg quite likely to be at the club also

Watts is staying

Howe is likely to go

Toumpas no certainty to go, looking elsewhere but club hasn't lost faith

Garland is staying (announcement soon)

Hogan - Club vision presented to him by Roos and Goodwin. if we can extend him soon, it would be great.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
