Looking at that 22 just above makes me realise we are unlikely to bring in so many.

I'm tipping Myers only if we don't get Vince, and not Lyons, then Cross as a FA.

Meaning we only bring in 2 players through trade, unless we trade pick 2 for a Shiel calibre player.

Yes, I think that's a more realistic scenario. And one I'd still be stoked with.

Pretty sure we've been trying to get him for 3-4 years!

Upgrade Clisby and find another Terlich and Jones with the picks in the 60-80s and there's your three. Given the relative age of our list and the urgency of our need to improve the midfield, I'd be q

Yep manager is Lucas who stated that he more likely to stay, but I sensed he was just playing a litle bit of hardball on behalf of Adelaide (being a contracted player I'd suggest this is in Lucus' best interest). However I think he, like Adelaide is looking for a little more. Adelaide wanting a better pick and his client wanting a little more cash to jump ship. I think Lyons wants to come but is holding out for us to increase our offer. I think when we have a clearer idea of our compo for Slyvia we will be able to solidify our offers to players like Lyons.

I didn't read it as sinister.

I saw it more as Lyons being contracted is happy to stay in Adelaide. Adelaide are happy to keep him. Both have the potential to move but it would take a good offer to both and in-particular Adelaide for it to happen.

Apparently Lyons manger said he is most likely to stay in Adelaide?

As above, Lucas said he's very happy in Adelaide and he has a decision to make. He didn't really swing one way or the other on whether he thought Lyons would go. It really is a matter of staying with people he likes or getting more gametime for him I think. I don't think there's much doubt that he will see more senior matches with us than Adelaide.

You're right, he played it pretty straight, I just read a little subtext into the: He's happy, not going anywhere brush off. Time will tell.

Dear Jarryd

A 3 year deal for $800,000 is offered by the Melbourne Football Club. You will be a key part of our future success, with a role in our emerging midfield available for you. You have developed at Adelaide and Melbourne sees a great opportunity for you. It will be an exciting time for the Melbourne Football Club.

(Lyons is still contracted and may stay...but we will knock again if we have to in 2015 ...)

If we get Vince I don't think we need Cross.

How so? I think we need to try and cram as many AFL standard mids on to our list as possible. If we grab Lyons as well as all the other things going on then it becomes logistically difficult to get Cross on the list, but that's very different to not needing him at all.

Because you need that balance of player development and getting players in for the now. Cross offers 1 year tops, he comes from a crap club and played most of this season at VFL level.

Can you ever have too many players capable of playing mid-field?

For years we have struggled in this area. It would be great if our mid-fielders had to compete for places in the 22 and not be grafted games because we have no one better.

correct 3 years for $800k being $266k per season ... reasonable offer IMO

My apologies I saw $800,000 and forgot the 3 years.

$266,000 is hardly special - as long as it makes us his preferred club.

If you dont think Cross is AFL standard anymore then that's the reason not to go for him

Sylvia compo (Pick 24) to Freo in exchange for Michie & their 2nd round Pick (37).

Tapscott, Pick 37 & our 3rd Round Pick (40) to Adelaide in exchange for Vince, Lyons & their 3rd Round Pick (46)

Melbourne: Gain Michie, Vince, Lyons, Pick 46

Loose Tapscott, Pick 24 & 40

Fremantle: Gain Pick 24

Loose Michie & Pick 37

Adelaide: Gain Tapscott, Pick 37 & 40

Loose Vince, Lyons & Pick 46

Don't think anyone really looses out of that. Potentially Adelaide, but hard to call it a loss.

dees gain mightily though I would suggest

    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

    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.
