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!

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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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
