Apart from Sizzle I don't really think the Dorks have much we need, given they'd want overs for anyone they trade out. Maybe Gunston, or young Burton looks good. Tom Mitchell won't go anywhere, neither will Roughy.

We got Lewis for a late pick. I'm happy with that from them.

Yep, definitely need more small forwards who go missing when the going gets tough. Soon we'll have a whole list full of them. Next.

The guy has done the following:

2012- 39 goals (regular season)

2013- 37 goals

2014- 53 goals

2015- 45 goals

2016- 43 goals

2017- 9 goals (on track for 33 at 1.5 a game)

If you don't think that would be handy for our side then you've got no idea.

It's a mute point anyway as was discussed he has already re-signed.

With clubs like the Swans and Hawks languishing down the bottom of the ladder there is a chance we might be able to pick up a handy player on the cheap.  Those clubs may look to refresh their lists and we could possibly be the beneficiaries of this.  Who are those players?  I have no idea, but I have no doubt the club will be monitoring the situation closely.

My favourite bit of this was "I know he is a downhill skier, but he is genuinely good downhill skier". How good is it to be able to talk about guys who are downhill skiers and bringing them into the club rather than getting rid of them?????

He is going to cost draft picks and the only way I want us using a draft pick on a trade this year is for a KPP, ready to go mid (e.g. Kelly, Whitfield, Hopper, Kennedy), or trading for a future 1st rounder. Now to find the next Hawthorn to trade with.....

makes sense .. a variant on the GWS methodology

Underscores how stagnant we have become that when we clean out our older players Dunn etc we have to give them away if not pay someone else.

Hawks have given away their first and second round picks this year so definitely they'll be looking to trade back into the draft. They've done it before offloading players like Hay and scoring big time so they'll try to do it again.

The main problem is their best are ageing. Hodge, Gibson even Roughy are last legs options. Besides Roughy should stay for sentiment if nothing else- he is a heart and soul character.

Frawley? Ha ha.

I don't want Cyril - great highlight reel but does not get enough of it. He is icing only. Age is catching him and Poppy too. Breust I'd have but as discussed is locked in.

For mine that only leaves Gunston as a target. His kicking is off atm but he is a class act. Otherwise don't touch them.

Personally... I would be looking at our 1st rounder for Isaac Smith...

Not at 29 going on 30 next year...

With Lewis as the precedent then maybe a pick in the 80's should do it.

I'm keen but 1st round is a little too high.

He will turn 29 at the end of the year and he relies on his pace so he's got a limited lifespan in the game.

Our 2nd might be enough nearly be though.  Maybe plus ANB - there was some scuttle last year in the Lewis trade that he was in the Hawks sights.

Looks like "free kick, Hawthorn" is lost from the lexicon. good.

Yikes!!

Forgot he was a mature-age recruit.

Point taken.

I'd look to Sydney personally surely they have ongoing salary cap pressure and underperforming is going to be difficult to manage. 

Sam Reid?

Has Mills re-signed? I know it's a long shot, but a young leader, hard, great user off half back, will eventually be able to roll into the midfield. If he is available, I'd offer him a 5-6 year deal and maybe a first rounder or two. Though maybe we have more pressing needs such as composure in the KPB position...

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
