I think today was just about Father Son stuff, I think most clubs will have laid their cards on the table, but I believe that the official start of trade week is tomorrow and ends 2pm Friday.

Haha. What trade news? If you picture one of those cartoon moments where there is an awkward silence; nobody says anything, perhaps a cough, a tumbleweed floating past...

That's what Telstra Dome is like in Trade Week.

Only trade today that is a definate....

Marty Mattner (Crows) to Sydney....

In return the Crows will probably look at getting the Swans first or second pick.... Most likely their 2nd!!

Either would see Sydney having their pants pulled down. They are a dead-set mystery, Sydney.

disagree.

mattner is a very good player.

clearly Sydney havnt done too badly in their trading. ppl may bag them but they have been in the top 2 teams in the comp in the last 3 years and have won a premiership (1 kick away from 2 premierships).

maybe we should be looking at them for inspiration rather than bagging them, when we havnt been close to a premiership in 44 years

Mattner will fit in well at sydney, pretty quick and can give lots of run off half back and through the middle which is good for the SCG because its small. Kennelly has said that he wants to go back to Ireland at the end of this contract so they may be looking at a replacement

If that happens it'll be our game's loss IMO. That said, I guess it was going to happen sooner or later with some of the imports.

I just find it amazing that Sydney are able to get the most out of not-so-great players. You wouldn't nominate Buchanan, Ablett, McVeigh, Matthews, etc as a premiership midfield unit, would you? But then, there it is, the proof is in the pudding.

When I say they are a mystery I mean that I can't understand why they continue to pick up fringe players. Surely if they can get so much out of the above blokes then they could get even more out of premium players.

As for Mattner, I would have him in the company of those players above. His tackling is good, but I am otherwise unconvinced.

interesting tho. he has come, had fun, won a premiership, made his money, and now he is going back home...im not having a go at him. i think its great. growing up he never would have planned to play sport for a living, given that it is amateur in ireland, but he has managed to make a fortune out of it...i hope he has managed his finances well, he is one of the lucky few who get access to that sort of income...

silly post. they have been arguably the dominant team of the past 3 years, even moreso than WestCoast

we have made 2 grandfinals in the last 44 years, and both times we were thrashed by record margins...we have a history of not getting close to a flag.

sydney have a recent history of being a dominant team in the competition (goodes double brownlow also) and have made 2 grandfinals, and 1 premiership

Why would we give up pick 21 when we can just as easily pick him up in the PSD for nothing? :unsure:

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
