BT, Mike Sheahan and Jason Dunstall on Foxtel said Chris Judd to the Demons and part of the deal is James Frawley to Saints for Pick 9.

Didn't hear the start of it - did anyone else?

I'm happy with the Judd to Melbourne bit, but Frawley is one player I really don't want to lose.

I hope Bailey has another young defender up his sleeve that he's looking to poach or draft, because Frawley will be a gem.

This from a BigFooty West Coast supporter -

That would be the greatest deal on the planet, but it seems unlikely.

Everything else sounds pretty common sense.

I just saw it, folks. It was much as reported by Hutchy. Basically, that Frawley will go to the Saints for their first pick, and that Judd to Melbourne is virtually a done deal. I am highly excited. Naturally, there were the thoughtless, numb-nutted comments from those peasants about Melbourne's facilities: "Boo, hoo. Melbourne doesn't have good facilities - why would he go there?" Do some research you brainless maggots. We'll have those facilities this time next year.

Our first pick this year, our first pick from last year and our second round pick... I think that's very fair.... if that's the deal I'm stoked. I reckon there'll still be a number of players that will be traded to get us back into the draft and or for some up and coming players.

I reckon Frawley will be a very good player... but if we can pick up a Rance/Collier/Henderson/McEvoy by getting back into the first round... all we've really done is miss out on 12 months development... and we've got Judd.... OH HAPPY DAYS.

Im not getting over excited cos its not certain yet, and I dont wanna become suicidal

However, if we gain Judd without losing Davey, Sylvia, Travis, Bruce, Brock, Bate, Dunn, Jones, Rivers, Bell, Newton and Green then lock in the Demons for the 2008 flag

It will take more than Frawley to get pick 9, don't be supprised if our second pick will go to St Kilda as well.

Why? Frawley was pick 12 in a draft rated stronger than this years, with 12 months of development at AFL level under his belt.

If St.Kilda were looking to take a key defender with pick 9, this deal would be ideal for them.

Well our 2nd pick is part of the Judd deal. Possibly a downgrade of our 3rd to a 4th round pick if anything. Don't underestimate the sentimental pulling power of Frawley to Saints; particularly for a club that is having trouble at the moment, and also is very big on it's club heroes.

I was about to post exactly that. You saved me the trouble!

I hope it is that easy Frawley for pick 9, but I can't see it although you would think St Kilda would rather see Judd go to us than the other three teams in the hunt.

It's not like St. Kilda is doing us a favour here. They're getting a gun backman for the next 12 years. Much better than a speculative 9th pick. Obviously great for us if it lands us Judd though!

Don't get me wrong, I so keen to get Judd i'd probably put my grannie up for sale...BUT...do you reckon we should be trading a kid who is potentially a 12 year player and the cornerstone of our defence for years to come?? There's got be some other way to get Judd to the dees

I can't believe people would be upset to lose Frawley over this - I was prepared to lose anyone and I thought we would have to lose one or more of:

McLean

Jones

Bate

Bell

Dunn

Newton

Rivers

Bruce

Green

Sylvia

Johnstone

Davey

Robertson

In all honesty I rate Frawley's value below ALL of them and agree with Yze_Magic in that I would be giggling my ass off if we snared Chris Judd and kept all of the above

well maybe, but not as part of this reputed deal - if a seperate deal emerged to trade Robbo for a high pick I would be even more happy as we will still get ourselves a quality youngster this year

It's all coming up Demon

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
