Meeson is a nice little story huh?

Guy wants to come to Melbourne, is sure he wants to come to Melbourne, and has told his club he wants to go to Melbourne.

If only they could all be that simple.

Meanwhile, it's a welcome reversal of mentality really - instead of "Damn, we're short of quality ruckmen" it's "Hey, lots of opportunities for ruckmen who come to the Demons".

Anything that happens to encourage us all to look on the positive side is a good thing.

Mind you, it can stretch a bit - "Hey, all these injuries this year have put us in a great position in the draft" doesn't really work for me.

ND was a fan favourite ?

Just because it's called "trade week" doesn't mean that it is the only time clubs talk about trades. Every club (bar the ones who were in the Granni yesterday) would, I reckon be talking to each other about trades at the moment - doesn't mean that we know about it.

I think his name was Ben Crowe ... the guy who owns that Gemba company with Jimmy Hird said that the football, along with the entertainment industry are like a different world to work in, very weird he says. I bet a few clubs would be talking about trades with other clubs weeks before the seasons over.

i have no doubt possible trades are discussed earlier than the actual week itself. however can you remember those discussion ever being made public? there are more noises being made than previous years imo...
