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.

Lewis has always intensely annoyed me . But all that would be forgotten if he joined the dees.

As you say he is a bit slow, which given we need some pace, is not ideal but most of all we need good ball users and in particular terrific kicks. With our game plan (well all i guess all to be fair) elite kicks are critical. Being a lefty would also assist and i have no doubt that we have followed the hawks' lead by looking to recruit lefties.

Big news out of Carlton with Bryce Gibbs officially requesting a trade to Adelaide.

Now there's a club who's midfield can't take the loss of a player like Gibbs.

I would take Langford in a heartbeat, especially as we should get him at a fairly cheap price.

Hopefully the Hawks have good short-term memory and look after us given we did the same for them when they acquired Fitzy...(yes, that is sarcasm).

Langford no better than ANB

He's contracted until the end of 2019. Not sure what it will take, Carlton will want something like Adelaide's first pick (13 I believe) and a player, maybe McGovern.

Melbourne has left Etihad Stadium after meetings with a number of clubs, including the Brisbane Lions and Essendon today. 

There was no deal completed to secure Michael Hibberd from the Bombers, while the Lions made inquiries about defender Lynden Dunn.

Demons football manager Josh Mahoney said forward Chris Dawes did not attract any interest on the opening day of the NAB AFL Trade Period.

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.

Considering the constant speculation surrounding Mitchell moving to Hawthorn, you'd think a comment like "Mitchell is moving to Melbourne" is pretty easy to decipher.

Unless of course you've been living under a rock for the entirety of 2016.

I'm guessing Ess are waiting to see where out 2nd rounder ends up before the argy bargy begins over Hibberd.

it could end up being in the low 30s.

Like every other deal Essendrug has ever done they will string it out till the last in an effort to get the Maximum.

Bit harsh. I was half asleep, but I thought for a moment that was what they meant too.

And now Deledio has asked to be traded to the Cats...

Seriously, Richmond and their players seem to love making themselves look silly, coming out publicly three times in the last 2 weeks and rubbishing rumours he was leaving. 

straight swap for Motlop?

Doesn't seem to be .. Richmond apparently has no interest in Motlop.

Yes,  Our 2nd rounder this year is likely to end up being a pick well past 30 when free agency and academy/fatherson selections are factored in.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
