If we're not paying much for Wingard and the FD think they can get consistency out of him, he's exactly the sort of player our forwardline and midfield lacks. I'd be all over him.

Not sure where you would get that idea from. Just last year we offloaded a former no.1 pick for cheap because we couldnt get consistency and we struggle to get consistency out of petrecca. While i think we've improved from the underdevelopment of players I think i'd only rate Hawthorn as a club who are able to turn player's careers around (and even they fail sometimes - dayle garlett)

    Hasn’t he said he wants a trade the Brissy? Rare for a player who requests it not to be traded.

    He is alluding to the rumour circulated on SEN today that if Bennell is traded out of the club that Neale would say. Fairly fanciful, one would think.

    Boo! If someone posts a rumour based on another rumour surely they should say so.

    Don’t know if this is posted elsewhere, but the roar is reporting unconfirmed noise sources suggesting May is requesting a trade to the dees.

    Maybe our 2019 1st round pick?

    Dees aren’t going to hang around to do a deal with Freo for Jesse. Jesse I think will sign an extension and stay.

    The Dees will be proactive with GC in getting a deal done for May on there own merits... Future R1 Pick will be definitey on the table including player/picks.

    @Dee tention is this a gut feel? or knowledge?

    I disagree 100% with your first sentence, it assumes they want to keep him. I have seen no evidence of that.

    There is heaps of evidence, allowed to explore opportunities, allowed to tour freo facilities, dees sitting down with freo discussing what we would want, mahoney on trade radio saying they questioned Jesse.......plenty of evidence

    Spot on SF. There has not been one statement from the club or players saying " please stay Jessie" Does that tell you something. There is a lot more to this than meets the eye. I see a lot of simulatives to the Watts trade last year.

    Sorry Febes, I understand that nuance and semantics are somewhat lost on you and others on DL.

    In plain language the MFC is asking "what's in it for us?" This is a different prepossession to wanting him to go or stay.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
