Interesting...

I'm torn as to whether he would actually improve us. He'd probably compete with Weideman for the second forward spot. I guess it's a depth thing as well.

Depends on the price, I guess. 

Its Not as if Weeds is a proven consistent performer as yet. He has time but would love another Tall, Would take any of in preferential order Gunston, Casboult, Jenkins easy!

For anyone wondering the key forwards of any interest that come out of contract at the end of next year are:

Ben Brown

Ben King

Brody Mihocek

Jeremy Cameron (RFA)

Mason Wood (RFA)

Patrick McCartin

By no means the full list as at trade time anyone and everyone seems to be gettable regardless of contract. Pretty slim pickings if you ask me, and I’m of the view that Cameron wont leave the Giants. The interesting ones are King and Brown which could definitely be gettable

Breust or gunston  both make sense. Good kicks. Hawks have recent history of moving long term players on. Are rebuilding. And maybe keen in frost. Straight swap?

Same.  Might explain why the offer was never tabled to Frost (as of yet anyway).

Wouldn't surprise if Yokozuna was playing games

Yoko was spot on more than once in 2018 when it came to team changes. Would post them well before the official announcement, if it’s the same source there could well be something brewing here. That’s my belief anyway dd.

I don’t know why he can’t just name the player. 

It better not be Mason Cox after Basil Mason (the writer) or Mason Basil (the way hipsters grow Basil), I’ll throw up.

Examples please of 2018 changes he predicted.

I searched the AFL lists and couldn't find him on any list ... what game is he actually playing?

How dare you accuse someone on the site of making up stuff ?

I will ease your minds and say it isn’t Cox or anyone from that club!

However, I do have a very good source and I am glad some people remember my team announcements in previous years!!

I just haven’t been on the site much this year, as I honestly couldn’t sit through most of the rubbishy being written on here!

it was bad enough watching us play, but rewind stuff on here just made it worse!!

As I said, I promised my source I wouldn’t name the player, but he is from a club that are possibly needing to shed some players or $$ this trade period.

Casboult? Surely the Blues, with Betts (albeit not with a ton for them to pay), Papley and Martin all on the way in need to make some space. Also been some (internet) rumours they may chase Gaff, so they will need to be cutting back elsewhere. They've delisted/retired 6 players and already have 3/4 coming in pre-draft, so may need list spots too.

Hawkins 

I hope not. Or hope so. I'm not sure. 

Gunston? 

Clues:

  • A key forward (are correct to assume a big?)
  • Victorian club
  • But not pies
  • And not membrey or Bruce
  • A club who needs to shed some players or $$ this trade period
  • Would be a surprise

Cats might be looking to make a play for Cameron with Kelly’s compensation. 

Think they’ve tried before... 

Hawkins does perform well against us, and, being a Cat through and through, it would surprise. 

If I’m right, and I’m usually not, I don’t think I’d like it.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
