Narrowing down the draft - Dees to pick between 3 mids?
whatwhat say what replied to Young Blood's topic in Melbourne Demons
parish balic wiedeman mathieson francis curnow seem to be the ones that there's chatter about. tucker's stocks have well and truly fallen. parish will be gone unless somehow we end of moving up a pick; isn't he the one the bombers are meant to be keen on? if blues lose kruezer they will inevitably land a pick directly after their top pick for him, pushing us further down the draft. i personally think they should let him go - very good player but terribly injury prone. i really like the sound of wiedeman, but hard to judge cos he's missed so much footy. -
Delistings/trades at end of the season
whatwhat say what replied to Northern Summer's topic in Melbourne Demons
would love it if we could come in late and land a player such as treloar. unlikely. the only real stories around melbourne are that we are chasing lynch, likely to lose howe, and have enquired about every decent midfielder in the comp as well as a couple of fringe gws talls. -
also not strictly true of thompson. he was a lock in our side in his last year for us, then broke his arm, and when he got fit we were flying so it was tough to break back in.
-
Toumpas could be a bit like Ben Jacobs for North - joined a poor side, was gifted games in which he made a litany of errors and looked miles off the pace, and has taken til he's four seasons and a different role at a different club to come on. Was also a first round pick (albeit late, in a weak and diluted draft). I can't see Toumpas making it at Melbourne.
-
Toumpas is clearly trade bait, and has very little value. Third round pick, at best, or part of a package you'd expect.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN KENNEDY
whatwhat say what replied to MadAsHell's topic in Melbourne Demons
Would happily have him. I liked his under 18 year. -
- 51 seasons without a premiership - 2 grand final appearances in that time - 12 finals appearances in the last 51 seasons - a litany of off-field disasters including a failed merger that we (would like to think was thanks to vote-stacking) voted in favour of, the 'not tanking' tanking scandal - a host of failed draft picks who were meant to help us become a better side - top draft picks walking out of the club on a regular basis (thompson, scully) - past greats being struck with bizarre illnesses causing their deaths at a young age (i still blame jolimont oval) - past players and board members taking potshots at the club on a regular basis - no dedicated 'home base' because we gave ours away to first richmond and then every other club - a general sense of nothingness to the club - tried and true 30k supporters who have stuck fat through the litany of failures being told they're 'negative' on a regular basis damn right we are!
-
So I've heard today that he wants $700k. I am presuming that he's having a laff, and just wants out of the Dees.
-
there's every chance that dawes has a year left in him. he's crocked. this could well be why lynch is a priority.

Father-son assured! Will be lucky to get a second round pick for him.

Delistings/trades at end of the season

I have a theory that whenever Grimes plays well we have a whole played badly - he's not the player you want having oodles of possessions as he's simply not a good enough user of the ball. I maintain my dream trade scenario outlined above is still the dream...however unlikely it may be. Also, what's all this about Hogan being likely to request a trade at the end of this year or the next? Couldn't blame him, I would not want to play for the rabble that is the MFC either. -
i certainly can't possibly believe that he'd get $500k from us or on the open market. he's a below average footballer playing in a below average side.
-
yep, i'm the same. why bother buying a real true dinks membership. armchair and set the attention span to 'ignore' as this team is too pathetic to bother with.
-
i want him gone. he won't help us get better.
-
Don't think I've ever left a game at quarter time. There's a first for everything!!

We are appalling.

We look shocking.

The Jake Lovett Thread
whatwhat say what replied to Trengove the Magnifique 9's topic in Melbourne Demons
I love the idea of having three sons of guns on our list. Surely this one is worth a shot, given the way the other two are going about their business. -
legislation needs to change for it to be possible i believe. turnball has already put it through to be passed before the afl and nrl grand finals so that they can be broadcast in hd, but it's unlikely to happen by the first week of october.

hope we get this guy.
