GWS academy kid that fits our mantra perfectly.

Lives in Ballarat but his home address is in the GWS academy zone.

With our reasonable relationship with GWS and their need for a tall forward with Boyd gone and McCarthy more than likely leaving next year

could we possibly have a gentlemens agreement with GWS that if nobody with earlier picks bid for him and we do, that GWS let him through to us which

in turn gives them a chance at a tall getting through to them at 10?

Might be a long shot and more than likely won't happen, but weirder things have happened...

That pick they have at 10 will be used for points on Hopper or Kennedy, any agreement that they would have with us would also require Ess, GC, Carlton, and Adel to be in on.

It simply won't happen.

Possibly the most ridiculous proposition I've read this trade period.

Not 100% sure but I'm fairly certain DeeMfc that he is seen as the replacement for Treloar, hence why they needed to trade to ensure they had enough points for him and for their other academy player(s).

More than likely. The kid will be a gun.

Yeah, you need to do a bit of work on the insults too mate.

It wasn't an insult. It was an educated observation.

You see, people with these disorders often don't know or simply refuse to admit they have them.

I was just bringing it to your attention so you could work on being a better person E25 :-)

Can I just say that - in light of the Differing Opinions thread - that the high ground is lost when someone who is aggressively 'posted at' the way you were just then replies with a retort worse than the initial aggressive post.

So while I would not be as obnoxious as Mach5 was above - it is hardly helpful to respond the way you did.

Just sayin...

Yeah... Nah.

Look, it was a bloody silly suggestion, and I apologise if my honest opinion offends you.

Glad you got a chance to use some of what you've learnt in the pseudo psychology elective you've taken as part of your arts degree though.

Edit: Having said that, I'll happily put my hand up for narcissism.

I could be persuaded to accept a very mild case of your PPD, but it's more a case of healthy skepticism, cynicism and just being a c**t in general.

Silly suggestion? In hindsight I would have to agree. Although it was more wishful thinking after viewing the highlights package...

Apology accepted.

I too apologise for the bluntly worded observation.

'Pseudo' nice one. Like your pseudo source from 'out Geelong way'... Sorry, couldn't help myself :-)

Arts degree. Me? Not a chance in hell.

Edit - edited for accuracy but accepted none the less.

If you are accepting your narcissism then your last sentence is probably right on the money. Although we all have at least a slight case of that I suspect...

Well played.

Agreed. I would say there were more ridiculous propositions but in hindsight he was right. It was purely wishful thinking after viewing the highlights package.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
