If predictions like that came true, the league would consist entirely of Scott Pendleburys.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. That house ought to be heritage listed.

AFL site saying he has passed his medical and we are now dealing with the Dockers to get him to the MFC.

I can also confirm that within an hour of him passing the medical, a courier arrived at the club delivering two sets of steak knives.

It's game on!!!

I am mildly concerned for players with ability but without the spine to make it interstate. I fancy the 'anywhere, anytime, anyhow' attitude. Obviously everyone's different, but it doesn't instill me with confidence.

Handle with care

This one for you McQueen ... few more to still get. 

 

Patting oneself on the back is beyond cringe worthy, regardless of the fluke.

We will see the real Harley Balic stand up at our club.  Never wanted to go west.  Tried to give it his best shot but underlying family issues at home meant his head was never in a good space.  Great get if it comes off.  Class above ANB and Harmes.

First I've seen of him. Nice mover with good awareness and composure. Pass and present - think it might work with our game-style. Especially perhaps if he can find some sync with Oliver on the outside - he doesn't strike as super-fast but has a couple steps of acceleration and can find the space. But what position would we have him slated for? Super-pleased if he comes for a sub-50 pick.

And what's with all the basketballers?

Most of those Docker forum people would be prescient ( that is, the ones who are not total nut jobs )

Pretty underwhelmed by this acquisition, not sure what he’ll provide us other than cover through the midfield.

His strong attributes are neither his speed or kicking skills which is something we’re still short on so it’ll be interesting to hear why we targeted him. Hopefully we do hear why.

You think? He looks like a classic depth pick up to me

I wonder if he’ll be part of the mooted Hogan to Freo (2017 trade period edition) deal...

Zero chance

Balic is worth a 3rd or late 4th rounder

Hogan is worth pick 3 and Neale

Dare I say the new Watts?

Couldn't have 2 in the team?

Watts is quick and the best kick in our side, Balic is neither and likely to be a fringe player..

Haha I'm not sure if you're arguing for me or against me....... That is a joke but in all seriousness if you believe Watts was anything more then a 3rd tall your who struggled to win his own ball you're kidding yourself

I have no argument that he is a good ball user and is quick. But they are pointless attributes if you can't get the ball in the first place.

Ballic like Watts are hopefully cream in a good team - hence my refrence

But I am messing around a bit, Wattsy is much loved, Ballic most likely won't achieve much.

He's coming, am hearing a third round pick will seal the deal.

As a junior looked the part. Was touted as top 10 pick before injured. Just never settled in freo. Wearing purple would be quite soul destroying . 

Could be that outside run player. Has good size and with a solid preseason could be a star. If we get with pick 45, a bargain.

    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
