I don't know about Davey/Bell , I would rather see a Green/Johnstone trade . Bell's season had been fairly good up until he got injured but this season's been a [censored] mess i wouldn't know what to do.

Oh and to anyone who suggests he's not one of our best, he's been up there in our goalkickers.... and add to that he doesn't have a LOT of competition.

True, this year he is fourth in our goal kicking(by average):

Which is pretty decent considering he has spent a lot of time in the midfield. Davey is having a bad season no doubt, but isn't pretty much everyone? Next year I think the creator of this thread is going to be eating some humble pie, because davey, in my eyes, still holds a very valuable place in our 22.

There would have to be one hell of a player or a top 5 pick to even interest me. He's exciting, when he gets the bell, even if it's 100 meters from the goal the melbourne crowd are on the edge of the seat because they know with one dashing burst or one chase down he can lift us all.

We're not going to trade him.

Davey is an absolute excitement machine. OK this year is not his best but he isn't the Lone Ranger there is he?

When he gets the ball and goes for a run it is just magic waiting to happen. He is an absolute joy to watch and to trade him would be a joke.

Same goes for Ding Dong. He was coming into his own until injured this year. He has the makings of a good footballer, just needs a bit of luck to come his way.

No way are these two going anywhere.

don't talk rubbish bluey, bell is an AA backman in the making

I'd trade Sylvia if we can get a first rounder to use on a KPP for him. I am not convinced he is ever going to live up to his billing.

that's interesting, considering we do have a lot of very simular players like him, i.e. jones, mclean, moloney, and moloney could play a pocket just as well as silvia, and hopefully after recovering from his injury will stay injury free, unlike silvia who gets injured hailing a taxi. could be an option for 2008.

add adding to that, i think he should be traded for a decent CHF or CHB. maybe a ruckman? ...can you trade a small for a tall in the AFL? who's got excessive talls that needs a small?

on saturday night it showed why belly and dazzledavey should NOT be traded at all!! and occo im still waiting on my 10 reasons why belly shud be traded?? so far ur excuses have been [censored] ass weak!!

Trading Daniel Bell is an idiotic notion.

A hard, tight, fast, athletic defender, who can use the ball well when his confidence is up. - Trading that, from OUR defence? And I use the term 'defence' very lightly.

Add to that all the investment we've put into him, and all the improvement he's made, and still some upside to come, idiotic.

Would have to be one hell of a trade.

if davey , bell, green, bruce or tj are traded i will go absolutely apeshit. imo all of these players are instrumental ingredients to our recent successes (2004,5,6) obviously bell only last year or so. sure we have had a crap year but to cull our better players would be idiotic and a kneejerk reaction unbeneficial to our great club. GO THE DEES

None of those midfielders you mentioned could play forward anywhere near as well as Sylvia.

Injury free Colin will dominate.

Were there many people saying that Melbourne should get rid of Bell?

I don't think anyone did.

He had a question mark at the end of last year but he has proved himself this year & will keep his spot providing injury etc.

Anywhere else, I would bloody well hope not ;) !!!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
