Ridiculous revisionism. When we re-signed Clarry he was the best midfielder in the game, and x3 (or was it x4 at that stage?) best and fairest, x2 AFLCA award winner, x3 AA and premiership player

Not mentioned anywhere but look at Will Brodie from Freemantle. Contracted till 2026 but cannot get a game despite 30 to 40 possession games in the WAFL. He has Serong, Brayshaw and Young ahead of him

Just on Will Brodie, I do know for a fact he was a number of players we had enquired at the end of the 2021 season regarding midfield depth. This was around the time we were also chasing Dunstan.

split pick 7, give one of the picks we get for it for him?

Then the other for Houston. 2025 would certainly look better with those two in our team.

For Neal-Bullen. 😭

Crows.  

Swap for crows 2nd round pick 25/26 - that’s light on and we get ripped off 

Swap for Zac Taylor - is he a midfielder or small forward - maybe Crows add in their 3rd round pick (pick 45-46) … maybe too light 

Swap for Jake Soligo - would be a massive steal for the Dees 😊 but they won’t let him go.  Maybe we throw in Adam Tomlinson and pick swaps.  

 

Power 

Swap for their 1st round pick - pick 15/16. That’s fair!! We could throw in the Swans 2nd round pick to go back (around pick 38). 
 

Swap for Dan Houston 🤣  We could throw in Swans 2nd round pick. 
 

i love ANB but he is definitely not worth a 1st rounder. 

I’d be targeting Jack Graham from the Tigers to replace ANB

If we are still in the hunt for Waterman, it would surely make MFC a little more attractive for Houston.

Waterman runs up at the footy as hard as anyone in the game, which totally changes our forward setup regardless of which line coach comes in. Houston can hit his chest from anywhere forward of CHB

In this hypothetical scenario I’d happily let Trac walk and use his pick haul for young midfield guns. Splitting our current pick and change to land Houston and Waterman. 
 

Waterman more than makes up for Trac forward of the ball, Houston protects the HBF/mid rotation in cahoots with Riv and a young gun can slot into the mid rotation
 

2025 looks very different then

Waterman’s management like many before him will use teams like Melbourne to get their client’s current team to pay overs. Tale as old as time. 

No doubt this is true however Waterman also wont be around when West Coast start winning regularly, so maybe they prioritise more kids

entirely possible, but waterman's physical strength in the contest offers something that perhaps turner doesn't have in his arsenal

or alternatively the footy dept might see the recruitment of waterman allows petty to return to defence in the longer term as waterman gives the experience in the tall forward trio that we otherwise lack in that role

personally i'm really excited to see what petty - turner - jvr can develop into as a forward set-up

Agree with this. I think the FD will continue to play Turner as a forward and I think he will become a very good one. I think in an ideal world they will add a ready to go forward and move petty back.

I do wonder if Liam Reidy could come in as a ruck/forward instead, given he apparently did play forward for Frankston.

This! But also Jeffo after he puts on some size and develops more and is actually ready. Reckon that forward line is starting to have a lot more going for it even without anyone added from outside. 
 

would still be keen on Waterman for the right price but it doesn’t feel like we’re as desperate as we were.

Highly doubt Waterman will leave WA just as he's hitting his straps

Our message to Waterman should be simple, ask the Eagles to bump his current 1 year contract up by a boatload and we’ll have a monster free agency deal on the table to get you for 2026.

Trading for him this year doesn’t suit us. Not sure it suits the eagles either. They’d be better off having him available as a free agent and getting compo.

Rachelle dropped by Crows. Get him involved in the ANB trade 

Just because a bloke gets dropped, it doesn’t mean he will ask for a trade or they are looking to get rid of him

No but it’s Rachele so he’ll find a way to make it all about himself.

I'm no longer interested in Waterman.

If we want an experienced body I'd prefer Walker or Wright.

But JVR, Turner and Petty/Jefferson in 2025 works for me.

Let's spend TPP on luring a good mid or an x factor forward. TBH, Rachele fits the bill of the latter.

    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
