Is this true??? :wacko:

Sydney are one team that I believe still make stupid decisions come trade week, but I guess you can't argue with the success they have had.

    Need to free up money, and i think the swans will get a good deal from the saints down the track as they have looked after the saints.

    Sydney's future is not looking very promising.

    They have blooded very few youth in the last three seasons and to loose young Dempster, their young brigade is looking pretty shakey.

    McVeigh could possibly be the only one under 22 regularly in the side?

    Bargain!

    Would have loved to get Schneider. Wonder why we didn't chase him?

    Hardly stupid decisions then. :blink:

    Sydney are playing for now. Roos has stated that they cannot afford to trough. In addition, they need to make the most of the moment while they have OLoughlin, Hall, Goodes, Kirk etc.

    Neither player mentioned is key 22 material at Sydney.

    Disagree RR

    2007: Schneider 21 games, ave disposals 15.3,

    Dempster 14, 11.2. (as a 3rd tall type defender)

    Both are 23 years old. If they're playing for now, what good is a late 2nd round pick compared to 2 players about to hit their prime with a few years under their belts and finals experience.

    Maybe Roos has worked out what you might have overlooked.

    St Kilda have not learnt their lessons on crocks. They have the most injury prone list in the comp and they recruit King and Schneider!!

    Schneider is reasonable, but no gamebreaker

    Dempster is just a dud

    This move was a financial one, nothing else. Sure it will help the saints short term, but who really cares? If CAC though they would help the club, he would have thrown his hat in the ring. He didnt, so i can live with that.

    Schneider and Dempster are both good players. The Saints have done very well.

  • Quote

    yeh dempster may prosper at the saints much in the same way malceski has at the swans... he will be given lots of chances to play off half back no doubt or tag... schneider is a great pick up as they aim to win a flag while riewoldt is in his peak... if they can finally get their injuries on track next year, they could be dangerous... a BIG IF BUT

    How do you know he wasn't at all interested?

    From the limited times I've seen Schneider, he's seemed alright.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
