Someone mentioned they were discussing Tom Mitchell coming to the Dees on one of the radio channels this morning.

Anyone else hear this?

Haven't heard anything along these lines... and were not really in a position with anything juicy to put on the table for the swans.. Maybe a future first rounder.. But I'd rather hold onto that. Next years talent is looking good.

Yep, agree. More to that, Mitchell is the kind of player we don't need right now. We have enough ball winning midfielders of his ilk.

And they will probably still beat us at the Dome of death.

I would think we'll be playing any North home game in Tassie.

I did read somewhere he had spoken to 1 other Melbourne based club other than Hawthorn, but haven't seen the Dees specifically mentioned.

A mate of mine is good friends with the player manager of Jordan Lewis...

Discussion's between Clarkson & Lewis have already taken place in regards to where his mind's at & what his playing intentions are for 2017 & beyond.

If Lewis does end up leaving the Hawks, the Melbourne FC is where he wants to be.

Lewis is fighting for premiership favouritism for my most hated player along with Ty Vickery... Would be tough for me to warm to him!

Three year deal worth nearly two million dollars. Wells is a good player when fit, but he turns 32 at the start of next year. Add Chris Manye reportedly being offered at four year deal on similar coin and you have a stand-up routine suitable for any comedian in the country.

32 yo gets 3 years for $2 mill? FMD. The world has gone crazy. Bucks should get some tips from The Donald.

That story was "supplemented" a little later on the same program with the suggestion that the player in question is a 4x Premiership player aged around 30-31. I'm not sure who of the limited pool of players fits that criteria. Mitchell and Burgoyne are too old. Perhaps Lewis or Birchall? (I expect Roughead is also in that window but I assume for other reasons it's not him.)

Just asked one of my hawks mates who he reckons they're talking about. He thought it'd have to be Birch out of all of the ones mentioned

Won't be long until we find out, I guess.

$$$

Vickery on huge money, Mitchell to be on huge money, O'Meara to be on huge money... If you've got 4 flags, what's going to be your highest priority for the last 2 years of your career?

Anyone got the link for the rumour file audio?

Jordan Lewis would be sensational for our young on-ball brigade for 1-2 years. Seen as an inside mid but has a beautiful kick, can kick goals, seems to have space in traffic (like Pendles) yet isn't fast.

Wonder if we'd offer a transition to a coaching gig, along the lines of what we apparently put in front of Scott Thompson?

Ahhhh right. That seems to happen a lot. Someone hear's them say Melbourne and they assume they mean the team not the city.

I wonder if we are getting involved with the Hawks and Lewis to give them enough picks to get these trades done?

Vickery moving to Hawthorn is a done deal. Tigers set to pick up Pick 26 as compensation in the process, moving us back to Pick 28 when including the Brisbane priority pick. Can't help but feel that Essendon will now say that Pick 28 isn't enough and we need to 'sweeten the deal'.

It'd make things a lot clearer if coverage of movements (especially on radio) used 'Victoria' instead of 'Melbourne, the city', and just used 'Melbourne' for the FC.

'X player interested in a move to Victoria' is clear. 'X player interested in a move to Melbourne' just confuses people.

Next year's second rounder will be the deal IMO.

    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.
