Absolutely, this will be quite a bargaining tool and I'd expect a fair few to be using it. 

Yes and the more players a club has OOC (like us) the harder it will be to accommodate their expectations and the more vulnerable we are to losing some we would otherwise keep.

In the Hun today, Clarkson is venting about the draft being so compromised and unfair, that you can’t rebuild a list from it. Interesting for him to be on the other end of a situation, which enabled h

Both of our McDonald's have requested a trade apparently.

For those that were thinking of 'trading' Viney ie letting him go as an FA, it isn't happening. Goodwin said in his press conf today that the club and Jack have been talking contracts for a while

Sorry, got him mixed up with Nietschke, I knew we took 2 kids from SA in that draft and Chandler as a rookie.

I agree Crows will be after Sparrow and Petty. 

They can talk about Neal-Bullen. 

But we have a lot of inside mids so unfortunately Sparrow could be an option . 

Sparrow and Neal-Bullen for Crows 2nd round pick and 3rd round pick  (1st selection in 2nd round and 3rd round could be interesting)

Adelaide will laugh that offer off, I reckon they would have no interest in ANB.  Sparrow was only  pick 27 2 years ago and hasn't really show much.  We might be able to bundle up Petty and Sparrow our 4th round pick for Crows second round and 4th round pick.  The Crows will get Tyson Edwards son who by all accounts is a top 20 pick, so they will be looking at trading their second round picks out and get enough points in later picks to cover.

Dramatically increases the chances that he will linger longer.

Success this year will be a big factor in whether a few are enticed away. Lets say Sparrow Jordan  Petty miss being part of funals sucess this year, injuries, they will likely be hellbent on staying for future success. When you say SA we are really just talking the Crows. Dont see players bursting down the door to go there for now.

Agree. Crows are rabble and hardly an attractive option. Also go home factor is reduced because likely it could be another year 2021 on the road and in Hub type scenario once again.

Anyone got any interest in Sam Petrevski-Seton from Carlton?

Forward-mid that could potentially add some outside run and carry to our mix. In contract for 2021 but he’s got some tricks

he's a running defender...

I'd take a look mate. Good suggestion. He did play forward-mid early on. He's got a bit of that zip and creativity that we lack around the ball and inside 50 (outside of Pickett).

Anyone have any whispers on players we are chasing?

If we aren't after guys like Atkins, Williams and Papley to add leg spped and skill I'd be disappointed.

I think there will be too much interest in those three for us to have a chance - no picks, not enough cash, so best look elsewhere

I was a big wrap for him as a junior.

Certainly worth a look.

There is no way Carlton would let him go

 

Depends...they have needs and he's only fringe for them and being played out of position.

My Take on our Trade/Draft Period 

 

With North having our 1st rounder this year obviously don't have as many bargaining chips to trade for what we need. 

But we need to make changes to the list to keep improving (not to mention the coaching but that is another discussion). 

I think we still need some young talent on the list so would be wanting to use at least a second rounder and 3rd round pick in this draft. 

Unless it was for an unbelievable deal I would not give our 1st rounder for 2021, as it is meant to be a very very good draft and who knows where we finish next year ! 

I think for the right deal Brayshaw should be considered as trade bait he still holds a lot of value, We have the upper hand with him being contracted ( apparently Fremantle are keen) 

If so ask for their 1st Round , Adam Cerra, Darcy Tucker or even Sam Sturt who we were keen on in the draft a couple of years ago 

 

other players we should consider trading that hold some value 

 

Brayden Preuss ( however we still need to find some back up mature ruck from else where if he goes ) 

Tom Macdonald - Not worth much at the moment - but if a decent deal came along we would have to look at it 

 

Realistic players to Target given our needs. 

 

Adel - Rory Atkins 

Bris - Alex Witherden , Cedric Cox 

Carl - ? 

Coll - Tom Phillips, Tom Langdon  

Ess - Adam Saad 

Frem - Darcy Tucker, Adam Cerra, Sam Sturt,  

GWS  - Adam Kennedy, Xavier O'Halloran ,Jeremy  Finlayson,  Harry Perryman, Zac Williams , Zac Langdon 

Geel - Nakia Cockatoo, Quinton Narkle, 

GC - Alex Sexton 

Haw - Jack Gunston, Issac Smith 

Nth - Jarred Polec 

Port - Kane Farrel,  Karl Amon 

Rich -  Patrick Naish,  Oleg Markov 

Stk - Jack Lonie, Jack Sinclair  

Syd - Matthew Ling, Oliver Florent, Ben Ronke 

WCE - Andrew Gaff, Jackson Nelson, Tom Cole 

WB -  Bailey Dale,  Toby Mclean, Lewis Young, 

 

Top 3 realistic Targets for mine 

 

1. Adam Saad 

2. Alex Witherden  

3. Toby Mclean

I'm pretty sure Melbourne is happy with the list at the moment.  We have depth across the board with the possible exception of the ruck.  Could probably do with drafting another project ruck to bring on for five years and there are a few people who will be cut loose, but overall we're looking solid. 

There is the problem right there we are no where near a premiership and the recruiters are happy with themselves. We need people who set standards not lower them.

    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.

    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
