interesting, who would you rather trade, frawley or petterd? i like them both, petterd has shown more at this stage, but KP backs are hard to find, and if frawley comes on i think he will be more valuable in the long run, if not a better player.

I'm not totally on top of it, what exactly did hutchy say?

Essentially the same as Brian Taylor; ie. that a deal was close. I think he even suggested, like BT, that an announcement was close on Friday, but was put off for some reason. He also believes that Frawley will be part of the deal. That's just based on what someone here and someone else over at 'ology said. This was at the AFL GF Lunch on Friday, by the way.

I'd keep Petterd ahead of Frawley any day of the week. He's going to be something special.

Would be Petterd in a heartbeat at this stage. He had a terrific game against Sydney, but half-back flankers are very common. KP backs, as you say, are about as rare as Hen's teeth. Once Frawley puts on a bit of weight and learns to kick, he'll start to show what he can do.

Petterd is a freak

he was an anorexic 18 year old who throw himself at contests with no fear for his safety. he also finds the ball, has great speed and superb skills

Id rather trade Travis Johnstone for pick 9

So what?

So what? You give Petterd massive praise, call him a "freak" and yet if you were coaching in 2008 he would not get a game with a fully fit squad to choose from. It sends mixed messages: if he were a "freak" he would be good enough to play, no? Not even a chance on the interchange?

Of course he is a chance on the interhchange

Even to start on the ground

Tell me who you would replace him with in my starting 22?

Looks like we're getting nothing today from the main man. Unless he can conjure up a press conference or whatever on a whim, you'd expect something by now. That idiot rep at sportsbet can choke on his words.

haha deers mate, yze_magic has you there. if you cant work out who should be dropped in favour of petterd why should yze_magic? he says the kid is a gun...he didnt say he was our best player, and he didnt say he was starting 22. you find where you should put him in and then i'm sure you'll have a discussion...

Just saw this on the Age message boards.

Now. The truth about Chris Judd. No one really knows what he is thinking. But i do. And i'm not gunna say much. Other than, he will play for Melbourne. Carlton, collingwood, Essendon, sorry. But u never underestimate a boys childhood dream!!!!

Not worth much, I know. But I'm bored and we're getting nothing, so I thought I'd post this to try and raise some positivity. Yes, I know, I'm going mad. It's finally actually happening, after threatening for so long. I'm starting to clutch at straws, much like a Carlton supporter.

'All the information points to Collingwood if you ask me. He wanted the best facilities, the best footy department and a chance of winning a flag, now as much as we dislike Collingwood, with Judd entered into the side which lost to the cats by 5 points.... things could have been very different. '

I disagree with this. West Coast have made a point in recent years of not trading with Collingwood. And Collingwood performed this year for two reasons - one being Medhurst and the other _MAJOR_ one was because better teams underperformed. Adelaide had a poor year, West Coast were under-manned, teh saints and the Dees didnt perform at all. Collingwood nearly beat Geelong because they paniced, not because they were nearly as good as them.

For my mind Collingwood have the facilities, but we will have quite good facilities late next year. For my mind, there are too many rumours saying one way - Hutchie, BT, Sheehan etc are all saying his a demon and now its just down to how the trade will go.

Also from what Ive heard he had to nominate two clubs - being most likely the dees and collingwood - Melbourne would be more willing to trade better players than a performing collingwood side. I think all indicators have us firmly favourites - as we are at sportsbet - $1.70

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
