a quick question:

Frawley will be a great backman for the next 10-12 seasons

Judd will be an elite midfielder for the next 6 or so seasons.

Is there any point?

are we even going to be in the premiership window when we have judd?

Of course we will be in the darn window just watch

Frawley will be worth one-fifth the value of Judd at best

FCS the bloke was just the first guy ever to get Brownlow votes in the first 8 weeks of a season

Even if he's a great backman (and I am already a Chip fan) for 10 years, having maybe the greatest midfielder of them all for 6 is better, isn't it?

Don't see Chip Frawley's well times spoils bringing another 5k members and however many other sponsors.

Flags are won with great midfields, so the window is open.

We have pick 4

we trade robbo and get pick 5 most likely

we trade frawley and get pick 9

4+9 to wce, thats 2 picks in the top 10, anymore than that and we would be getting raped

if the MFC had picks 4,5 and 9 in the draft, i would start to consider keeping all 3.

However, if we were to keep pick 5 and get Rance, then all Judd has effectively cost us is pick 4 and Robbo. I'd be pretty stoked if that were the case.

My God, are you saying that you would refuse the deal rather than part with the pick 21 ?!?!?!?!?

I'm pretty sure - and darn well hope - that Bailey/Connolly/Cameron/Gardner/Lyon don't have the same attitude as you

If we stubbornly refuse a WCE deal and Judd goes elsewhere we may as well fold this club up for good because we will never recover

I know that sounds dramatic but Judd is worth so much to everyone, but a great deal more to us for a number of reasons

They will be giving up whatever it takes including pick bloody 21 who very may be a Nick Smith who never plays a decent game for the club!! :angry:

First of all, relax.

Secondly, i meant ANOTHER top 10 pick.

Picks 4+5+9 is a bit excessive buddy.

that still leaves us with poick 5 which will get us a good player y not go for a backman to replace frawley!!!

Sorry to disappoint you, but we won't get pick 5 for Robbo.

Can somebody explain to me why they think Frawley will be a champion key defender? I know he's young, but I need convincing..........

Oh ok thought u meant 4,9,21 was too much

Agreed 4/5/9 is absolutely massive but sheesh mate I would still take it if that's the position we are put in

You have to think, historically speaking, that one of those three may well be not much chop at all and the other 2 probably good/great players but not in the same class as CJ

JUst think of keeping our current list, that beat the Saints in a final 55 weeks ago, and has since seen a number of young players emerge (Jones, Bate, Petterd, Newton etc) and adding one of the all-time greats to it

It would be the right move

All good, I don't think Judd would allow WCE to perform highway robbery on us but then again it's not up to him. but i am no expert at all so time will tell!

Agree about the possibility of one or all of them being dud's, at least with Judd we know what we are getting :wub:

That window will be slightly ajar for next year only. After that we won't have a decent ruckman as White will be in his twilight years. We hopefully will have one key forward in Newton who is developing nicely with Neitz retired or just about to retire and Robbo gone to the dogs (literally). And hopefully Rivers is emerging as one of the best backman in the league.

We will have a great midfield but geez we will have a dearth of quality big men and without them you won't win premierships.

We all want Judd but at what cost. We also need high draft picks to select quality key position players so we can't afford to sell the farm. West Coast are smart - they have said they are not interested in recycled players - they want to develop quality young kids,

Just think about how our club will look in 2 years time not just how we'll look next year with Judd.

Good points but I honestly think it is worth plonking it all on seizing the immediate opportunity

You're either rebuilding or you're not

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:

Bruce

Johnstone

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

Key backs are hard to find - see Shanahan & Ellis trades - and Frawley has potential.

The three I've highlighted won't be around too much longer, and I would think that our best crack at a flag will be when the younger brigade have got a few years under their belt.

Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised if we took Frawley, 4, and 21 for Judd.

Is there any point?

are we even going to be in the premiership window when we have judd?

We're better off having Judd for 6 than Frawley for 12, and from what Frawley showed this year, it could take another 2 years before he's premiership-quality. That means 8-10 years of Frawley compared with 6 years of Judd (I know which one I'd prefer), and who knows, we could do a Port Adelaide and find another Westhoff with our last pick who can settle into our defence.

    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.
