This is rubbish.  A bunch of loud angry people here wanted him gone.  And it's pretty clear that those people are reactive and not analytical, with the only common detraction from Goodwin be

I just want to point out some stats that show this is false.   This year, Geelong used 35 players to our 33. The 15 Melbourne players who played the most games played an average of 22.8

I think 43 is what we will get without other picks and stuff involved.

I've got a feeling GWS are waiting till they have sorted out all there other trades before they look at that one.

We’re also seen to be doing the same thing, so that we can hand over only 27 for Grundy, but Freo is holding it all up.

I’d like to see us then move picks to GC for next year so that we can get back in earlier for this draft.


I should add, while we may be perceived as doing the same thing as Freo (particularly in the eyes of Collingwood), I think the distinction (as far as we’re concerned) is that we would happily keep Jackson despite Freo doing their best to pry him out of our hands, whereas Collingwood are actively pushing Grundy out the door and we are happy to be on the receiving end, at the right price.

The catalyst and agitator in both circumstances is the other club, not us.

So his trade to GWS pick 44 has been dealt to Freo as part of the Jackson trade.

Did we get anything else from GWS?  Disappointing if we didn't as Lamb was fairly strong when he rejected 44 last week.

Noithing, everything we got from Freo is effectively for Jackson and Bedford.

bedford was always one of my favourties due to taking the no12 which has always been my number thanks to col sylvia growing up as well as the romance of being a late pick from the NGA, sad to see him go but from a selfish pov can totally understand why he's done it, i hope he makes us regret underutilising him and has a lengthy career as a (slightly less than average sized) giant

So in essence we could have traded Bedford for a tenth round pick in the first minute of the trade period and been no worse off? Laughable waste of time and effort.

No it enabled us to get Freo's F2nd in the Jackson trade.

Yes 44 from GWS to us and our 67 both passed on to Freo in Jacko  trade. We got Freo 2ND Future Rounder. As a result .

I agree with the bold. I guess what we disagree on is what is 'much'.

Pick 58 isn't anything of value at all. It's possible that pick 58 wouldn't be used at all. We used pick 65 last year on Woewodin as the last pick in the draft.

A pick in the 40s isn't much. I guess we will 

This part of the trade was very disappointing IMO.  Jackson was worth 2 firsts and a second alone.  So to get that for him and Toby makes me feel a bit ripped off!

Yeah that does cheese me off a bit too. I guess there is some comfort in getting a Future second from Freo instead of GWS's pick 44 though.

GREATER Western Sydney recruit Toby Bedford says the opportunity to play more senior footy was ultimately the reason why he opted to request a trade from Melbourne.  Bedford played 18 games in four seasons for the Demons, including 16 appearances this year, but the majority of those came as the medical sub.  The small forward was ultimately part of a three-way trade which also saw Melbourne part ways with Fremantle-bound Luke Jackson on Monday.

Bedford shed some light on why he decided to leave Melbourne with the opportunity for more game time ultimately being the sticking point.

"It was quite a big decision for me and it was pretty tough to leave the Demons," Bedford said. "I had been there for four seasons and I have got great mates and made great relationships with the entire coaching staff as well. "It was a pretty tough decision but ultimately I think the move to GWS will be good for me and hopefully kick-start my career a bit more. "We had some big chats throughout the year (to stay at Melbourne) and I think they were pretty keen (for Bedford to stay). "But I think the decision to go to GWS was just more about kick-starting my career and getting the most out of myself in the AFL."

While I'm rolling ...

I was standing on a corner in Sydney Olympic Park
Such a fine sight to see
It's a Dee my lord, name of Toby Bedford
Slowing down to take a look at me
Come on Toby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet speed is gonna save me
The Dees will lose and we will win
We'll never do such a deal again
The first player we've ever traded in
Take it easy

You have the example of Freo desperately denying that Lobb will be traded; they just want to get the Jackson deal done first so they can keep whatever they get for Lobb for themselves instead of being forced to include it for us. 


Bastards. I didn’t think they’d get quite so much for Lobb.

    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.
