That may be why.

 

Did their doctor give him the once over?

    They want his salary out of their cap, so that won't happen.

    They don't need it out for a while yet whenever the date is will be the date they will settle.

    Of course they could always persuade him to go elsewhere.

    Where Essendrug is involved never expect a quick result.

    an interesting snapshot of a pub discussion on how the Hawks can land all of Vickery, O'Meara and Mitchell:

    Vickery is free (yet they are still likely to come out losers)

    O'Meara would likely be next years first round and a player (not necessarily a Hawk, e.g. Dunn could to GC, hawks give 2nd round to Melb with a possible swap of 3rd rounds)

    Mitchell would be two first rounds this year (Hill trade) and perhaps some late picks or swapping picks; so that the Swans can have the required points for academy selections. 

     

    Note this is just speculation, without consideration of any hawthorn players being included; what it does show (with some tweaking) however that the trades can be done

    why would we want him even if he was cheap

    As I said, if he was cheap, which I would be looking at our 4th rounder, then I think he would be a good pick up, and would improve our list.  That said, if they wanted something higher than that, then he's not worth it.

    Nah, somebody in the crowd asked Mottlop how many defensive efforts he had made in the game

     

    Zing!

    Expect this to be done by Wednesday at the very latest.

    Apparently the latest rumor is O'meara and Mitchell is compensation for taking Vickery!

    Thankfully it's not us leaking good players to other clubs this year.

    Another step up next season and we might just attract a couple of real good ones in 12 months.

    Who are the OOCs and FAs next year worth having a crack at?

    That's what I want to know.

    I'm sure we're saving and have an idea of some potential targets right when we're in the sweet spot and opposition players can genuinely see we're a club on the rise.

    As soon as we finish 5-8 on the ladder, we're in business for big names.

    Need to keep our under 23 core together though.

    Fyffe is one FA next year.

    I would think he would be locked away before then.

    Looking forward to the many falcons he will deliver to Vickery next year.... Both by hand and foot!

    My hatred for the Hawks has reached levels not seen since Chris Lewis and the West Coast days

    Yes, he'd be a good pick-up to take over from their ageing champions.

    Hard to see Hawthorn and Geelong ever dropping to the bottom half when they get to top up their lists with decent players year after year. 

    They might have to trade for their targets, but once a player 'nominates' them, the gun is loaded and finger on the trigger.

    Think OD meant he'd love the Dees to be hated in the same fashion as the Hawks - me too. Don't think Mitchell is a big loss in terms of a trade target. Won't thrive when S. Mitchell, Lewis and Hodge are gone and all the weight is on his shoulders. He has had Parker, Kennedy, Jack etc to work with at the Swans and will be exposed IMO.

    Melbourne's list is about to be analysed on Trade Radio.

    Clearly the AFL have got it right on equalization, as can be seen once again, by where players want to go.

    Geelong, Hawthorn, Adelaide, Collingwood are 4 of the leading destinations for players.

    We need these struggling clubs to survive and AFL head office has got it right.

    Agreed. With the Hawks not winning this years premiership, is there any word around on when they'll apply for a priority pick?

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
