Panic stations from Fremantle Football Club Media via their twitter feed - just to quell the sick taste in their mouth that is bubbling.

"Fyfe: I see my future at Freo and have said I'd always wait until a particular time to discuss contracts, wins and losses won't impact that"

 

In all seriousness, I don't know that he suits our organisation... and we certainly shouldn't sell the farm...

Why panic stations?  He hasn't said anything controversial.

And no, I don't think we need to be chasing Fyfe.  Like others I believe another key back would do us the world of good, and Fyfe wouldn't come cheap.

Fan's are fickle - He hasn't said anything controversial at all, its not about him - its about the media departments response in what they curate (naturally accentuating the positives).  It then got me thinking about whether MFC would even want his calibre...

I think that's the catch. Whoever gets Fyfe, Martin or even Kelly from GWS as reported today, will have to sell the farm and then some.

I'm not informed on our salary cap position but there are some young players  on our list who are going to be demanding some big coin in their own right in the next few years.  

Fyfe is amazing when fit, but I feel our needs lie elsewhere considering what it would cost to get him.

Think I heard on sen that the saints r into him. 

Saints and Norf seem like two of the most desperate clubs out there at the minute.  They are throwing cash at anyone who will listen.  It's a little pathetic, really.

Chris Scott is like Ross Lyon. Has no idea how to rebuild a list and instead tries to quick fix the issue through recruiting plodders.

I read somewhere that its potentially going to cost North two 1st rounders for Josh Kelly. In their position i see that as a HUGE risk.

Is Josh Kelly even the type of player they need?  Or is he the sort who sort of transcends that?  Two first rounders is a huge amount for a club that doesn't have a whole lot of decent kids coming through.  If I were them I'd be after a key forward as Waite is almost done and Brown is almost doing it down there on his own.  The fact that they are, supposedly, offering Kelly a 9 year contract shows how pathetic and desperate they really are.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he'd be a restricted free agent, yes?

Which means that for Melbourne to get him, we'd need to offer a better contract than what would be offered by a bottoming out, desperate for good news, lost all their best stars, clinging to credibility, club with huge salary cap space to work with.

Or we could trade our next three year's worth of draft picks, if he was, mysteriously, urgently wanting to come across for less money than Freo would offer him.

 

Can't see it happening for us, though no denying Fyfe is an extraordinary weapon.

Did a wikipedia search on some backmen and their gettability. Rampe from NSW, pass. Talia from Kilmore/EFC, pass. J. McGovern? WA, pass. Alir Alir from Brisbane, pass. Phil Davis from Canberra, pass. Rance, pass.

Steven May, Melbourne Grammar. Ahh. A toff in a blazer! Perfect target! :P

Yep steven may is a good one to go for, but I still like Lever. Anyway, I would love to get Josh Kelly from GWS. That would be an absolute find, the kind of mid I think would do us a world of good. We should throw a good offer on the line. btw, is he still contracted st the end of the season?

Hawthorn are very keen on Steven May. Would be a great get if he's not already committed there.

Our specific need is a quality defender or a silky skilled/quick outside player. But any team would be mental not to chase Fyfe. Once-in-a-decade footballer. Probably won't get him but conversations with his manager must be had.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
