Midfield, Midfield, Midfield.

After that, its the midfield.

Maybe then we can look at selling the farm for a forward saviour..... coz that has worked out really well for our backline thus far.

Mids.

Then more mids.

Good ones.

He may cost too much. He’d be asking upwards of $1M per year which is probably too much. Just gotta pray that Weid can step up. 

What’s Whitfield’s contract status at the moment? Is he OOC at years end? Or did he resign recently. Would sure like him on the wing and unlikely to cost that much.

Would gladly pay him that much.   Hes an incredible player and an excitement machine.

The money we got back in marketing $$ and extra memberships would easily cover his contract.

If we want him, we’ll make it work and fit him in. I don’t concern myself with the salary cap.

Like Cameron, I believe Whitfield is also OOC end of 2020.

Not kidding at all really. Our midfield depth is not as flash as many think. Jones will be gone soon, and it could easily come to pass that one or 2 of our alleged "guns" refuse to extend/ask for trade if we dont improve drastically.

Cameron would cost so much of our cap that it would make the rumors of disharmony in the ranks (because of the money some recent recruits are on) even louder.

I would LOVE Cameron as he is a genuine game-breaker.

We just cant afford to take another massive risk cost-wise until our last 2 big name recruits start paying dividends.

What a joke. We get rid of a gun forward in Hogan & now we are in desperate need of another.

Understand your point, but Hogan is having a terrible season.  His worst ever by far.

Fair to say he isn't the next Wayne Cary/Jonathan Brown  that he looked like he was going to be early on.

He is presently the best Key Forward in the comp and worth every cent.  Tom Boyd wasn't and got paid mega dollars on a long term deal (heavily front ended) and helped to win a premiership for the team with the longest drought who then passed the baton to us!

Weid has, until this point, shown nothing to suggest he will be a contender going forward.  Trade bait at the moment and frees up room for an expensive Cameron deal.

Foresight!  Yes yes yes.... memberships up and sponsors would be happy.  Maybe even more prime time TV coverage.  The AFL could NOT ignore the best forward in the comp complimented by a very competitive outfit around him with the capability of knocking over anyone at any time!

Doubt he is getable

MFCSS but well earned neita.  We are well overdue snaring a big fish in his prime and the other clubs always pinch them.  Some have pinched them from under our noses over the decades.  Our turn!  Go for broke we are in a narrow premiership window, it won't last.  The likes of Cameron may not come up again for another 3 to 5 years and by that stage we will likely be in a re-structuring phase under Goody or maybe a rebuilding phase (yet again) under a brand new coach if we stuff this window up.  And we will probably miss the next opportunity for a big trade deal in a similar window to this (if one arises!).  Then we'll be 60 plus years in the wilderness and might fall off a cliff once more!  Risk for reward!

He'll go to hawthorn or Geelong  for 750k...its why I hate this competition

 So, offer him $1.25 mill or something he can't ignore Wells, mostly front ended.

Hogan was not a gun Key Forward IMHO Wiz.  More of a part time decoy Key Forward (who forgot how to play that role in the way you would normally expect a Key Forward to play it) playing a wandering high forward role which occasionally also saw him drifting across HB to help out.  More a tall utility than a gun Key Forward.  But yes if he wasn't home sick and no issues keeping Hogan would have been nice.  Trade the Weid instead.

Why is there a thread about Jeremy Cameron? Has this come up in the media or is the OP just throwing it out there based on nothing?

Was something in the media a couple of weeks ago about Geelong trying to lure him in a year when he hits free agency.

Yeah I understand that but at what point does it become too much to fit into our cap. If it cost us Oliver and Harmes/Gus/Tmac or any other player of significant importance is it really worth it? To gain one gun we could lose 2. I’m not sure I want that, but if it doesn’t then yeah by all means get him. 

Thats part of list management I guess.

Do we have any chance of getting him?  Jones, Lewis and one other should free up enough salary cap space.

No,  we don't need Cameron that much.  We need flankers of quality,  in all 4 corners of our team sheet.  and the Pivot...  this is where we need class.   Class we don't have Yet.

the Bartels,  the Black's,  the Lappin's,  the Voss's,  the Stevie J's,  dare i say, the Toby Green's ?

... remember when Roos sounded out our club,  about a young Toby Green,  when he had that altercation as a young fella,  at a hotel in Melbourne.?

16th on the ladder (and deservedly so) would suggest we should have mountains of salary cap space available.

If not, there is some serious mis-management going on.

I loved watching Hogan and wish him well.  Back to Perth was the best move for him.

BUT.... look at the stats from last weeks Freo win and Jesse is bottom of the list. I just don't see him reaching the potential he clearly had.  A Ross Lyon coached team won't get it done for him either

Smart move by MFC to do the trade.

    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

    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.
