What makes it extra delicious is that Bell is at Dodoro levels of being difficult to trade with and must always be perceived to have won whatever trade he is doing.

dodo isn't as bad as it's made out in the media

peptides get deals done without bell-end-aching to the media about it

I love the visual near the end of Show me the Money 2 with our team casually strolling out, all deals done while player managers are running past them in a frenzy trying to finalise last minute deals.

I honestly can't wait to play them at the G in a few weeks time.

Double motivation to destroy them. I want to win by 10+ goals, and I want Grundy to dominate Jackson and I then want to see Jackson line up on Steven May at FF. LOL.

Wouldn't mind JVR kicking 5 on their Captain too 👍

Tiger's better start pulling their finger out.... 

Will get better when they get a few players back. They have nothing to tank for anyway because their first round pick goes to GWS anyway.

Not sure about that. 

I might ride their 'death train' along with GWS supporters who hold the Tigers first pick; a pick we may want to trade up for.

Looking t the ladder, we need a couple of teams to really ream Freo and kill their percentage. Need to force it down into the 60's, that way equal points means they'll drop lower.

It's Saturday night game v th hawks, you think Mitchell will want to perform in the game for optics.

So ideal scenario is WC last, Richmond 17th and Freo 16th?

However hard to see both NM and Hawthorn above Richmond and Freo.

Ah look I'm happy with any combo, as long as those teams are down there and stay down there!

Hawks have a surprise win or two in them. Lost to GWS and Crows by 2&3 points. Should have been well ahead of dogs by half time but faded after that. 
If Freo make as many simple skill errors as they did against Brisbane and Hawks kick a bit better they are a sneaky chance.

After watching a lot of games this weekend it’s hard to see anything other than WC, Hawks and North being the bottom 3 clubs. So I think our pick will be somewhere between 4-7. 
I expect Richmond to improve and move up the ladder a bit when they get a few of their key players back, so the Suns and GWS picking up wins this weekend is great for our chances of being closer to 4 than 7. 
If Freo do finish in the bottom 6 we will enter this years trade and draft period in a much stronger position than the 2019 draft when we picked up Jackson, Kossie and Rivers and will hopefully have just win the flag.

He's extraordinarily difficult to deal with and always keeps other clubs waiting till the last minute. He is the road block on trade week mostly.

And Ess have nothing to show for it in over 20 years.

Agree. 

I would argue they are almost in better form than freo - at least they are not experimenting with their method 7 rounds into the season

What if we ignore the draft entirely and package up our 2 first round picks in a trade for Ben King?

Dunno Flash, I'd love to have him but not sure how many Texas-sized checks we have left in the kitty!

    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
