Just driving home from work here in Adelaide and listening to KG on 5aa.... The only station that has a sports drive show....

They are spewing at the fact that Melbourne are guaranteed to get John Meesan!

The reason they are spewing..... Adelaide have only been offered a 3rd or 4th round draft pick!!!

LOL..... Well done to the MFC trading team.... Now lets just rub it in and give them the 4th rounder!!!

Great pick-up in trade week if you ask me!!!

    As a matter of interest, what did we get for Thommo? Was it Beamer? perhaps it is payback time if we got zippo

    4th round or PSD sounds good, but you have to keep in mind that we don't want to burn our bridges with other clubs by screwing them over.

    I think a 3rd round pick for a player who has played a grand total of 2 matches is a fair deal, especially given that we could get him for nothing. We are basically doing Adelaide a favour by giving them anything.

    They should take it and run.

    From memory I think we got West Coast's first round pick, West Coast got Stenglein from Adelaide and the rainbows on legs got Thompson. We later traded our original first round pick to the Cats for Beamer. Correct me if i'm wrong

    yeah, which i think was pick 12 from memory. not a bad deal but i felt thompson was worth a little more given he was a high draft pick to begin with and we had put 4 years into him. might be time the crows bent over a little.

    imo Rys shaw is overly maligned...he has huge pace and has the ability to rack up 30 touches off the half back...

    with Ward and Brown gawn, Shaw would have a place in our team at half back. we could use his pace also...

    but even so, i would trade Johnstone for pick14 alone, so Shaw would just be a bonus...

    if would could get pick 14 and a second rounder, that would be perfect

    The Adelaide crows would be spewing over the loss of a 20c piece! Seriously, Meeson has done nothing over there, and has made it clear he wants to move on.

    Sure they used pick 8 on him years ago, but he has not ocme along.

    Meeson is a good idea for us, but the crows need to get what they can for him, and a pick in the late 30s is fair enough for a guy who has played 1 senior game of footy.

    Would LOVE to claim him for free in the PSD. Would be even sweeter if he turned out ot be the next Dean Cox!

    Its not like we're trying to double cross the crows !! theyve known all along what they might get !!

    Dont forget that this draft is said to have the best tallent and numbers for ruckman. SOmething like 14 ruckman occupy this draft. If crows want pick in 1st or 2nd, then in the words of Darroll Cerigan "there dreaming". He in my opinion is worth at the bare minimum a 3rd rounder. Otherwise lets start from stratch and get a ruckman through the draft. Kruezer may be out but there are plenty of other players and this should be the year we focus on fixing our ruck due to the 14 ruckman running around. With the other picks...lets try to get Palmer (god i hope TJ gets traded for a 1st rounder to get a FB potentual) and CHF and midfield. Perhaps hold off getting a CHF till next year tho

    The annoying thing about the Thompson trade was that we all knew how good he was going to be. Before injuries set in, his form in 2004 was awesome. Geelong supporters may have felt the same way about Maloney. I think he improved alot after moving from Geelong, just a shame he's missed so many games.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
