I would never delist Bugg - he's exactly what we need. And I'd never trade Watts. Vince is still very handy. 

 

 

How do we need a spud that's only a thug? Watts has run out chances he must be put on the table. Vince should retire.

One last time. Watts. Is. Contracted.

Trade can only happen if he wants it to happen. So he 'cant be put on the table'.

The only leverage the club has is threatening to play him in the vfl. This might work with say spencer who is likely to play vfl anyway and might want more opportunity. But with a player of watts' talent it is a bit cutting off your nose to spite your faceish.

A player on the other hand - if contracted and wanting out - can threaten not to try. Which no club wants.

Papers stamped.

Liam Hulett: He had four disposals, four tackles and two inside 50s. Liam didn’t have any impact on the game and went missing for long periods. He didn’t give us a real threat forward of the ball, so it was a disappointing performance from Liam.

I think they were stamped long before this game.  They even tried him down back and that didn't work either.

Oh Mandee...

 

Moonie, coming from Man sfield  my 1st choice for a name on DLand was DeeMan obviously,  unfortunately it was taken. So without really thinking I tried ManDee, it was available so that will do. Now I have Barry Manilow nightmares, yes more than before. Thanks for reminding me. At least "I came and I gave without taking"

PS: I will not kiss you and stop you from shaking.

You can trade a player that's under contract as long as it's not the first year of his contract like JKH, Stretch and Frost can't be traded.

If all parties agree, surely a trade can happen in first year of contract, otherwise it's restraint of trade, eg.Boyd to WB

After today, Trengove and Spencer are gone. Spencer showed nothing. Rather persist with King and bring in Meese as Gawns backup. 

king did nothing either, looks like Pederson will continue to be our second Rickman for a few more years

Think you'll find 2018 might be close to Pedo's last.

If he had to play 20 games next season then I'd agree.  But if he ends up just being a handy depth player, filling a few gaps throughout the season when needed, then we might be able to squeeze an extra year out of him.  He hasn't played as much footy to this point as others have, so he has a little more mileage left in the legs.

Pedo will play most games next year if fit, especially if Spencil leaves. Weid will need to come on suddenly for Pedo to be usurped. Still, stranger things have happened.

If we get Lever that should allow T.McDonald to go forward we probably won't need Pedersen.

Pretty harsh comment on Pedo. 

He has a had a great year! Showed alot of ticker! He gives a consistent contest and holds his own. Would be a coaches favourite. He is only 30 and durable. Great work ethic and versatile!

Pedo is my first picked at the selection table. You know what you are going to get from him.

Just like Daniel Ward and Nathan 'Doggy' Brown when they were playing...

Watching todays game I was impressed with Stretch's game. He has developed his inside game well over the second half of the year at VFL level. He can still make it. JKH and Spencer were woeful unfortunately. I will be surprised if JKH gets another senior game. Magner has had a good year too and if he keeps developing as he should will get his chance next year. Bugg can still offer something but will probably only ever be about top 26, not top 22. Still you need a top 33 to have genuine depth.

I was surprised by Richmonds depth. It's always hard to beat a VFL side that is still alive in the AFL as all the seconds players still hold hope to get a game in the seniors.

They had Conca, Lloyd, Griffiths, Miles and a couple of others. That Morris is a dog. His only skill is smashing into blokes trying to injure them. Sheedy would recall him to his Grand Final side just to go head-hunting.

If you look back you'll see that I've been a big fan of Pedo on here. Got into many a stoush with stuie defending the big fella. 

Cam will be 31 when the 2018 season starts. I'd love him to play for 5 more years, but I don't think longevity is his bag. That was my point.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
