Bring back Hogan then trade Hogan to Fremantle for Cerra.

I can let you all know that the Dees presented to Adam & his Manager at 5 pm last Friday and the feedback is that it was equal to or possibly the best presentation that Robbie as ever seen.  Let

Losing Rivers or Jackson is unacceptable. No deal.

There is still huge upside in JJ and Sparrow and our current list just won the cup.

Cerra is not a huge loss.

Yeah im feeling content 🤪

Oh well....his loss...time to move on and target someone else to strengthen our team.

The natural progression of the younger players on our list will strengthen it quite substantially.

In the meantime I would be focussing on Max's & May's successors (3 to 5 years) and a key forward (King) in the next year or so.

Cerra will be a fantastic player. But gee whizz carlton really need to start nailing their own picks before they improve. Constantly over paying in both picks and cap space for "proven" players will catch up to them. 

I don't think there's anything wrong with 'overpaying' for proven talent - hell, we've been criticized for that as recently as last year. The problem is they've been spending big recruiting the icing instead of the cake. At least Cerra is the type of player they actually need.

But has the guy ever looked pick 5 quality yet? All his yearly highlight packages on youtube look solid at best.

Anyone watched him close enough?

He's a seriously promising footballer. Doubt he'll ever be a game breaker ala Bont, Trac, Oliver etc, but well and truly worth a top 5 pick.

Cerra is quite a bit better than Sparrow and JJ, but I love those boys too.

I doubt that there's any way we could have satisfied Freo's trade demands, or our own salary cap constraints, without compromising our current list (and perhaps aspects of our superb culture).  Nice but unrealistic dream!

Yes, agreed.

Ben King should definitely be a target for us. It just depends if he wants to play with his twin brother Max at St. Kilda.

I don't understand this 

1. Why wait to now to announce?

2. Why Carlton FFS - plenty of other Melbourne based teams with top 10 draft picks? Most of which are not the basket case of Carlton - he would be well paid at ay club - Why not choose one with some sort of stabilty?

3. If his preference really was us - just announce it and then go to your 2nd choice of a deal cannot be worked out - it's not up to him to repay Freo by choosing somewhere else to work based on current employers wish for reimbursement 

4. It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever - but we have one these🏆so WGAFF

Despite my flippant comment about Carlton before, I do see the potential for them to progress next year; adding Hewitt and Cerra to Walsh and Cripps makes for a competitive midfield. The great unknown for me is what the coaching will look like under Voss 2.0.

Given the Blues handed over pick 8 for Saad I wonder what they will end up giving up for Cerra. No way we could have really got involved here without trading out a few premiership players. No thankyou. 

Reckon it'll be their first & second rounder for him.

Which is funny cause that's pretty much on par with what Freo acquired for prime Lachie Neale.

Good luck son ur gunna need it at Carltank

I think your first line is a bit harsh Picket, especially given the post above this one.

I think he went with them simply because we couldn't get a deal done.

    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

    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
