Trade talk - Fergy

Featured Replies

Posted

If Fergy cannot be traded he will be delisted. Mr Ed told me and you should always beleive the horses mouth.

 

I remember back a couple of years ago, we could have gotten Sewell for him. In fact Sewell and the Dorks agreed to it, but Fergy didn't want to go.

2 years later, he has played only a handful of games, where no doubt he would have played more at the Dorks over those 2 years, plus we would have got Sewell <_<

 

i didnt mind ferg but when rivers came through, he did the job a lot better. hes a great bloke and i hope he gets traded and not delisted because he deserves a chance. if he bulked up and finally got a good pre season maybe he would be quite good, he reads the play well, has had some good games recently and was playing quite well b4 sylvia injured him. on this note, the more i think of it, the more we have lost TJ because he will not want to be there nemore after all of the trade talk

Trade week '05 - How i remember thinking:

'Sewell - why would we want that spud?'

Turns out one is a handy AFL player and the other a handy VFL player. If only we'd been able to do the trade.


Sewell is the equivalent of Batram.

Taggers, with good engines, that can't kick.

Sewell. Meh.

Ferguson is willing, but he hasn't got the body for it, or the talent.

HE HE

im not shattered we didn't get sewell, he is not that good, just the same as godders really, not going to help you win big games just runs next to a pleyer and holds him.

Batram has better pace so we still win i think.

I think you'll find Sewell was one of the most effecient players with his disposal in 06, and i presume likewise this season.

This stat was mentioned during a hawks game this year. I was surprised, but then i watched a little more closely and he hits a lot of targets. He definitely didn't go to the Daniel Ward school for kicking.

We've been waiting for Ferg to bulk up for the last 3 years !

Ferg.

Good depth, possible forward option. No trade value, is on no money. Why not keep him for one more and see if he can become the player we expected after 2003.

MFC has too many depth players and not enough best 22. We've held onto them 4 too long so its good to see us clearing these types.

So we should get rid of Holland, Miller and Warnock too and hope no KPPs get injured. You need depth, every team does. You hope your depth can come into your side and play a role which I think Fergo does.

Ferguson to Bulldogs

McMahon to Adelaide

Meeson to Melbourne

(might need to even up some picks though)

Note: 'too many'

Ferg could not hold his ground if his life depended on it.

This would be worthless to us...

My mail (from an AFL recruiter) is that this is an excellent year to trade your draft picks...

take it or leave it but i trust this news and therefore would be looking for higher picks or a player.


Ferguson could be 30 years old, and some people on here would still be stating that with a 'good pre-season in the gym' he'll add some bulk'.

its so true! :lol:

I think your 1 year early for these 3.

 

I'm sick of this dud being on a list, be gone with him already, he's embarrassing!

Anyone think the crows would bite on a straight swap Fergo for Meeson? I doubt it, but worth pondering.

Meeson is a demon, the way it is all unfolding is pretty clear. Fergo would be a great deal for us, and it would land fergo the playing time he requires.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
