Theres a rumour Chad Cournes wants to come to melbourne and Warnock is locked to that discussion. Me thinks a good swap but risky if Warnock comes good.

Considering Chad Cornes is one of the most effective players in the game i would seriously question your source

Cornes versus Warnock is a no brainer IMO

Deluded indeed. This misconception about Green absolutely astonishes me. He's laid 337 career tackles, but you're right... he NEVER gets physical! :rolleyes:

That's two a game...

Just don't rest your case on that.

So I can't rest my case on 337 examples of Brad Green being physical, when the opposing argument is that he NEVER has!

What's wrong with you? :mellow:

I do think that there are several players going to retire at the seasons end and a few in the category of maybe but i see a bigger problem

developing players under the current sandy / melbourne scenario is a compromise i dont like

Sandy has a different agenda than Melbourne and i dont think this helps either side

I dont know about you guys but i sure want to see a stand alone Melbourne reserves side

Thats got to be better in long run surely

I thought Green was fantastic in the forward line on Saturday. Crashed packs and had forward line pressure. Id have him up as captian in the short term. The calling of him to be traded is astounding. Alot of you need to wake up. To say his soft is stupid and pathetic.

Retire:- Neitz / Yze / Holland / White / Robbo.

One more year if willing - Junior / Whelan.

Trade Bait:- Brent Moloney / Daniel Bell

Trade:- Green(pick 17 - 27), CJ(3rd rnd), Wheatley(3rd rnd), or players. ( some young players can't get a run with teams like the Cats).

Delist:- Warnock - if he doesn't start staring in a hurry - goodbye!

Thats pretty much 6 definate places to fill + some possibilities.

I couldn't give a [censored] about Greens stats, but if he played his career like he just played against the blues on sunday then we wouldn't be having this dialogue. Monkey see - Monkey doo.

I think Junior and Whelan are gone at year end. Robbo has another year on his contract.

Moloney is as much bait as 7 day old lamb chop in the sun. Who would trade for his groins and game?

CJ and Wheatley either cant crack or are borderline in the bottom AFL side. There is no trade value there.

We will be lucky to get one trade away and it may involve a player who some might put in your best 5 or 6.

Weetra, Bode and CJ will be delisted.

I got 10 draft spots before you look at trades. Unless he does something spectacular I dont see Valenti being elevated.

    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

    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.
