Eliza Reilly has reported we are showing interest in Roxy Roux from Fremantle. 

Interesting. Aside from having the best name in footy, probably hasn't reached the heights expected at Freo. I seem to recall there being rumours that she wanted out last season as well. EDIT: Just been traded to West Coast.

The truth comes out! Haha, just kidding. I suspect the DA may not be alone on this. It probably won't surprise anyone that Libby did not make my "top 10 players to please, please let us keep" list. There's always a bit of regret to see a premiership player go though, and no one would deny she had a her part in that flag, as did West and Sherriff.

Without knowing what the draft pool is like I reckon Pick 5 and 26 for sheriff and west is more than fair. Good business I reckon.

pick 19 for birch seems unders for an AA defender but she did have a poor season so maybe not.

Appreciate people's thoughts on if we've done well or not in what we've received. It's not something I have a good gauge on at all.

Melbourne has gained access to speedy winger Jemma Rigoni under the father-daughter rule. Her father Guy played 107 games between 1998-2005. AFLW clubs will now need to hold a pick in the round w

Have a look at the size and shape of the mids for both sides playing this weekend in the GF.  They are all strong, muscular and solid.  We cannot afford to lose a player like West, since she can

We gave the Hawks 16 in the deal roo

The big question is which of the top draft picks stay in the Vic only pool.

No doubt the afl will try to convince someone to go to GWS.

But if we effectively get the 2nd best Victorian that would be a great result.

I suspect we’ll ask North for 19 and 38 at a minimum.

😬

Unlike last year’s… that was nothing but fun!

 

She's one player from afar that I don't warm to...but know nothing of her really.

Actually, same here. I’ve spoken to her a few times and she’s not nearly as friendly as the other girls. Also, I’ve never liked how invested she is in her media career, seems like it takes priority over her playing career. I kinda wasn’t surprised to hear she wants to leave us.

Media career? Jeepers.

Can barely string two words together and a voice like fingernails down a blackboard. 
 

Anyway….good luck to her.

Yeah at one of our BBQs at Gosch’s this year she was on the mic with Robbo. It didn’t help that our tent was close to a bank of speakers but holy cr4pp, she was insufferable. We literally couldn’t hear a thing other than her unlistenable voice. Robbo was just as loud but at least he was kind to our ears.

I think I know the day you are talking about.  And yes, most irritating. 🥴

Libby was a star in season 7 and in the premiership.  She didn’t have the greatest season just gone but was serviceable imv.  One of our leaders and I think could be excused for a down year.  Would be sad to see her go.  Others also weren’t at their best this year by the way. It’s not all on Libby that the Dees fell away in straight sets.

We had to include a pick to get a first for Birch, yikes 

She must be on a salary that no longer befits her standing on the team - why else would you have to give back a draft pick for a 26 year old 2 x All Australian, 2 x premiership player?

Disappointing trade outcome however it is probably fair value given Birch’s best is behind her. If Wilson gets to the Suns, who is next in line for the 2nd tall? 

Colvin’s a good player but she’s old and injury prone.

Personally I’d try Bannan and see if she can develop as a player down back, and if that doesn’t work I’d go with Tay Harris.
 

We have forward options including using Loz Pearce forward and Campbell in the ruck.

Umm, we got  a first round pick for her, that's not too disappointing.

I'm loath to say it, but her goal kicking has probably proven to be not up to it.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
