    Where would McGregor fit in ???

    With our tall forwards:

    Neita

    Juice

    Bate

    Dunn

    Robbo(if he's still with us)

    Miller(if he's still with us)

    Dutchy(when playing forward)

    I can only see McGregor playing for the Dees if we make some major list changes with our forward line which i can't see happening.

    Neitz & Holland have one year left. Miller hasn't proven he's in our best 22. I don't see Dunn as a FF/CHF-type in terms of build, and it seems we might want to use him in a utility role a la Bruce.

    Who does that leave us with? Robertson, who's an ageing third-tall with a future up in the air, and youngsters Bate & Newton. Hardly an embarassment of riches.

    I wouldn't say no to a forward. That said, I don't know about McGregor.

    Miller shouldn't be a t the club next year, Robbo probably won't be. Neita and Holland there to help out the young guys and then Bate and Newton, and Col up there. Dunny is going to be a fantastic wing/ruck rover. He isn' big enough to be a KP player.

    I wouldnt get rid of Davey to secure McGregor.

    Same here

    Hmmm. Davey for pick 10. Pick 4 and 10 to West Coast plus a player. Worthy of consideration.

    And until Davey performs in a final or big game he'll remain tradeable for me.

    That looks good.

    Yeah or put Davey on the table to West Coast. A crumbing forward of his ability would be a bit of a godsend for them considering the have Armstrong performing that role for quite a bit of the year.

    Does anyone here realise that if we trade Davey we have no crumbing forward?

    Bruce, Green and Johnstone should be offered up before Davey is

    I'd rather retain Davey because he adds an element that is very difficult to find. He frustrates me but I see the benefit.

    If trading him secured Judd though...give me the pen.

    Hello all

    Being a Tassie lad (although from Melbourne and moving back in 3 weeks) I may be a bit biased but lets be honest Ken McGregor would be the worst decision we ever made. He is struggling for Adelaide and he would set the development of our younger players back. There is a young lad named Colin Garland playing VFL. He played two games this year and played on Neitz in a pre season game and towelled him up. He needs to be given the chance to play as he is a genuinly good player.

    Also here is a player we can go after he is a Geelong rookie names Todd Grima. Being one of Todd's mates I have tried to get him to the dees. He will play in the second Grand Final in two years and was named in the VFL team of the year. Adding to that, Geelong have a magnificant list and i cannot see him getting a senior game but he could be very helpful to us. Especially as our defence is a concern.

    Being two tassie boys it may sound strange, but both (if chosen) will play a bigh part in our future as both are tall players who can play the game. Also knowing them both I am sure that they will give their all and be a part of the future of our magnificent club.

    One last thing

    Quite simply the deal would have to be a VERY VERY good deal for us to let go of Davey.

    i thought davey was contracted till the end of 2009

    Perhaps but if he agreed to go then it would be done with.

    Aaron Davey for Scott Thompson

    Definitely not. How about Thompson for Ferguson, daylight robbery i know, but that's what he did to us. I would never let that traitor back into the club if i were the MFC.

    Aaron Davey for Scott Thompson

    as a lady caller said on SEN today the MFC need to be careful not to take the spirit out of the club in trades - which would if trade Robbo - and certainly would if trade both Robbo and Flash! Robbo is still a big draw card at MFC and so is Aaron and Brocky also a favorite with the young supporters. If all three went would be bad strategy fopr MFC.

    Mark Doran noted that hopefully MFC woould have learned from the last time they ofloaded a favorite player - Woewy as took long time for fabric of club to recover!

    The new coach might be just the thing Davey needs. I'd like to hang onto him to see if Bailey can use his Port experience to turn Aaron into our version of Peter Burgoyne.

    Mind you, if we get an offer too good to refuse, we'd be mad not to give it serious consideration.

    Agreed. Has anyone heard from the Davey camp about this? Would he actually want to go? He was far from our worst player last year, and is one of the more dynamic, recognisable players in the league. Given the Dees lack of media exposure this is a valuable commodity and one we should be loathe to part with.

    How old is McGregor ? Ferguson and a late draft pick should do.

    Pick 4, Johnstone( midfield replacement for Judd, will be the 3rd best midfielder instead of the 1st at our team ), Robertson ( a bit old, but has proven that he can work with other forwards unlike Fevola, can't see Lynch and Fevola being a good mix ) and Carroll ( he has been ordinary but could prove to be a handy quick fix as the second key back he would be a better option than Hunter who is more like a 3rd tall backman. )for Judd.

    Jamar for Jolly.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
