i think more likely trade for robbo would be pick 22 and 38 from the bulldogs (2nd and 3rd round picks).

i think this is probably a fair deal for both sides, especially considering robbo is 28 (turning 29) and we will probably need to release him to ease the salary cap pressure if judd comes to Melbourne.

for me the best possible trade week would be:

trade 1:

Judd to Melbourne.

pick 4, pick 21 and johnstone to WestCoast.

trade 2:

Johns Meeson to Melbourne (in 'TheAge' is reported that the demons have offered Meeson a contract and he has been asked to be traded to us)

pick 37 + a sweetener (maybe Miller or Jamar considering theyv lost 2 ruckman this off season) to Adelaide

trade 3:

Pick 22 and 38 to Melbourne

Robbo to Bulldogs.

overall:

Melbourne Gain: Judd, Meeson (basically the same 2nd and 3rd round picks)

Lose lose: pick 4, johnstone and Robbo

means in the off season we'v lost 7 players 28 years and older, gained the best player in the afl, a promising young ruck to take over White.

=massive win for Melbourne.

----trading robbo for picks will be important especially if we give away our picks for Judd. we dont want to end up with our first pick at pick 60

Sounds good to me

Like ur thinking Sylvinator. Meesen for Pick 37 and Jamar (he is from SA i think) would work in our favour. But do you really think the Eagles would want another midfielder(johnstone). They have about 8 or 9 already. I would think maybe a small forward. Not sure who though. Tough choice really!!! :wacko:

i know it doesnt mean anything, but all the rumours indicate the deal is Johnstone, pck 4 and pick21.

this is a pretty fair deal imo, but obv we are getting Judd for under market value if he chooses us as his prefered club.

Johnstone is a direct replacement for Judd in the WestCoast starting 18. without a tagger he will be awesome for them.

pick 4 gets them a highly rated WestAustralian and pick 21 as well.

Johnstone will get tagged wherever he goes. TJ is destructive but teams know they can shut him down and kill his influence.

Kerr and Judd have shown they can work over taggers so teams will target TJ. Hopefully we will too.

The latest rumor is Frawley to saints for pick 9 then pick 4 and 9 to WCE for Judd. Two top ten picks is a fair deal IMO as WCE need to rebuild in order to change their culture.

If the bullies get Robbo and Hudson they may well in a complicated set of swaps give up pick 5 via Crows and we get Meeson plus a good draft pick.

The Crows will be keen to rebuild with some youth and the Bullies have some good young players at the club. Robbo would be very good for the Bullies.

From memory i thought Meesan had walked, and that he wanted to play for the Dees, and i also believe that Carlton and Richmond both said that they weren't interested in Meesan or Hudson, so the fact that we'd offered him a contract would imply that there's a good chance we'll pick him up in the PSD for nix if he said he wasn't interested to any other club

Frawley didn't show much? I must have been watching another Frawley play in red and blue.

Frawley is the key defender who can run out of defence we have been looking for over the past decade. This guy is going to be something and you can already tell he will not have any problems bulking up.

If there is an area where can least afford to trade it is key position big men as we simply don't have any quality proven KPP at this stage.

    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.
