For O'Meara!

Really? This is an astounding post. O'Meara is a 22 year old with a degenerative knee condition that averages 21 disposals. He hasn't played for two years.

Tyson is averaging 25 disposals and is becoming one of our most important players. Hunt off the half back flank is almost just as valuable. Stretch is 19 and is already averaging 19 disposals - the kid will be a gun. I'd consider trading Salem, but not for O'Meara. For a player of Brad Crouch's ilk, who is able to get on the park.

But he has nice muscles Phlebbo.

Have you guys watched O'Meara play? Hunt, Stretch and Tyson aren't in his league. I want a Premiership, nothing else matters

He's a handy player Roost It but the 3 blokes you've mentioned above are on the park every week and developiing very nicely.

If we are good enough to win a flag in the next decade, I'm tipping all 3 of those guys will be playing, and playing well.

Well then im glad you have absolutely nothing to do with our list management.

Cannot believe your actually serious..

You're attached to our players, that's understandable. However I don't care who plays in our next Premiership for us as long as we win one. O'Meara is a cut above all those players and I would readily trade one of them for him

This might sound silly but before he got his injury he was also on the park nearly every week IIRC. Didn't he play every game early for his first couple seasons??

I know nothing about the injury or recovery time but if it's something that's expected to heal 100% then I would hope we are at least asking the question.

Do injuries like this continue to occur once they have began?

You're judging O'Meara on what he was, not what he now is.

He's been out of the AFL scene for 2 years now, so no-one knows what he is capable of now.

Name the last guy who played in a Premiership, after two years out of the game with a cracked Patella?

Two words - "Cooney" and "Adam".

Sensational mid before, competent mid after.

salem is definitely tradable.. talking about o'meara not being able to get on the field - how about christian! stretch, tyson, hunt should be off limits though.. 

This is exactly why he's tradeable for mine too. But only for the right price. O'Meara isn't it.

Er, no. Hunt, Stretch, Tyson & Salem (and Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Weid) still have massive upside to come. This is not the case with O'Meara. We'd be crazy to trade any of them before we know more about where their ceiling is likely to be.

Can understand why you'd believe that the grass must be greener on the other side of the fence, though.

You're offering one of them PLUS our 2017 1st rounder! Imprudent.

O'Meara is a class above the average player and we would be silly not to consider him. Judd, Stevie Johnson and many others have had major knee issues but played brilliant footy. Maybe O'Meara can too.

But that is not my concern. Hunt, Stretch, Tyson, Oliver etc... are playing great team footy. Why would we want to stuff that up? We are playing a brand of team footy that looks like it will pass the test of finals,  if and when we get there. To break something that works to bring in something that MIGHT work is poor decision making. If we can give something like a Grimes and a future 1st rounder, well maybe yes, but I don't want to mess with what we have currently working.

Judd had a brownlow by 22.

Did Cooney have the exact same injury but?

Just want to make sure we arent comparing apples with oranges. If Cooneys injury was the same than no way we would be interested but if it's a likely 100% recovery than I'd be asking what the price would be.

For once, or medical team would be all over his knee problems. If he has recovered and the price is within reach, we'd be cray cray not to consider it.

Rocket wants 2 top 10 picks. He will want at least the same as Prestia. $3.5 m over 5 years. 

We still have to sign a handy player.

I would under no circumstances trade Dom Tyson or Jayden Hunt, Tyson has finally hit a consistent run of good form and will keep getting better, i still believe he'll be the best of our midfielders. 

Jayden Hunt just adds so much to the side and his scope for improvement is insane.

I'd also consisder Billy Stretch and Christian Salem untouchable unless an insanely good offer came along.

    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
