Please trade green, as a player i don't believe in him and believe that his real motive is money. If it wasn't, he would have already signed. He's had a good season, and sure he is a good player, but by the time we make a tilt for the flag he will struggle to be in the side. If green goes elsewhere he gets his money and hopefully a crack at the flag. But for the club, we improve our draft position and we won't have to worry over the nathan carrol decision with brad's salary cap pressure.

stay away from seaby, he is not what he is hyped up to be, he is jamar v.2. He had his chance to prove himself this year with cox injured, but instead was in and out of the side. The eagles are trying to offload him to another club, because seaby's chances will be gone after they draft naitanui.
DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

congrats to cam, thoroughly deserved even though the team performed poorly. also great to see mclean second, which shows how highly rated he is, hope he gets the captaincy and wins the b&f next year
-
i'm also jumping on the swift bandwagon, seems that he has recovered well from his injuries, with his sprint time under 3 seconds. Would be a massive steal if we could pick him up. Also any news on liam shiels?
-
we should not trade davey, he is becoming a real ladder at the club and what he provides for the indigenous boys at the club is really invaluable. the boys are a tight bunch and i reckon he will have a huge influence in the progression of wonna and any other indigenous boys we pick up.
-
agree with the trading but i reckon its unlikely that it will happen. draft picks are gonna be tough to trade for, considering this is the last real draft, but we can still draft in 09 as the gold coast come in 010. it sounds dodgy but i think we need to have another bad season next year and get the priority pick. Theres some good players like butcher,scully and may which we can hopefully pick up and than its on the way up in 010.
-
don't think we are a chance of getting this, but i could see it happening next year if we snaggle the priority pick. We just don't really have anything to offer and the tightening of draft picks makes it even harder
-
brock, just wait and see what it will do to him
-
how can you even consider trading for these kinds of players, when we are ONLY going through this part of the season with one thing in mind, THE DRAFT. Look towards the draft and consider who we should pick up and who we could trade off, cause this trading for players business ain't gonna happen.
-
I agree with the youth policy, time is up for the older boys. The leadership group should be made up of youngsters with BROCK MCLEAN leading the way. He has shown this season why he deserves it and he has learnt from his mistakes at the beginning of the season.
For all those who think green should be captain, you are wrong. Green is not a capable leader and isn't the one who will stand up in a fightback. I reckon he has tried to play for the captaincy this year and this has resulted in a good year, we should not give him the captaincy over one good year.
BROCK FOR CAPTAIN IN 09' , but i reckon bruce and macca will keep the captaincy in 09' and then brock will get his chance in 10'
-
don't even think about touching boyle, the only reason he seems enticing is because of the work of buddy, roughhead and williams. He is there 4th go to men and not worth it and he would be struggling if he played with us or have no impact.
-
Trade green, green has to much of the daniher culture still in grained in him. We need to stand up for more than a brad green, if brad was the right man he would have stepped up against the cats. Its a big call, but give the captaincy to Mclean he bleeds for the red and blue and will do whatever it takes to get us over the line, like the game against brisbane. We need to stand up against the years of 04-06 and stand up or else we will be where we were in 04-06.
-
it does seem a bit stiff on jones, but thats dean baily for you, i reckon he is taking the right approach.
I also haven't been impressed with BeLL either, but perhaps this gives him a shot in the midfield, which i wouldn't mine seeing.
-
eagles will lose. I think what they did against the saints is what they are capable of doing every week, there list hasn't had that much of a change and winning against the saints was a test to see where they are at.
-
stick to the draft. asif we would trade ricky for sherman, ricky has way more potential and showed great form until he got injured. And if sherman was worth trading for, he would at least play good footy under a coach such as leigh matthews
-
i also like the idea of picking up watts with our first pick, and it looks like he wants to come to us with his no leaving VIC policy. But check out MITCH ROBINSON for tassie, if he is still available with our 2nd pick we better take him. They say he is a classy mid like adam cooney, which could cpmpliment our mids pretty well .
-
Give sylvia his time, he still hasn't had a full preseason. Once his injuries are gone, rate him. iF I was the coaching staff, i reckon we should take care of whatever injuries he has and keep him on ice til next years pre season. Theres really no point for him to play,except for experience, considering this year is shot.

my thoughts on the top 3
rich- played a great game and dominated, his skills are class and kicked a great goal
watts- impressed up forward with his limited oppurtunities, that play in the 1st quarter where he weaved his way through traffic was pretty good.
naitanui- the leap is definately a weapon for naita, he had a massive advantage in the rucks, but like other people say his work around the ground was no good. saw him wonder around the ground a lot and he should have worked harder to get more posessions. as well he didn't place himself in the right position, he would always be in between where the ball was kicked to.
the last month i was hoping the dees would pick up naitanui, but now that watts has come up, i am leaning towards watts.
Other players i reckon we should look at are jack zieball from vic country and mitch robinson from tassie, i think he has been in the best for tassie in all the games he has played and he won the hunter harrison medal for best player in division 2, like ricky petterd.
-
i reckon both sylvia and newton can become great players, only if they apply themselves. Hopefully bails does the right thing and steers them in the right direction. I reckon if newton does start to come good, he should model his game around richo.
-
great stuff by dunn, and will only keep getting better. BUt Bode, i reckon this guy is a goner, i think he picked up like 5 disposals and seemed uninfluential.
-
great to see newton in the best, hopefully he gets his shot at the seniors soon and frwaley
-
great win today, i am rapt about the win and i still reckon we can pick up naitanui for all those tankers out there. theres nothing better than winning
-
i would look at trading one of pick 17 or 18 and a player for a draft pick between 5-12. I doubt we will get both rich and naitanui, but picking up jack watts would be good and also mitch robinson who has played in a similar way to ricky petterd in our team in the u18 champs.
P.S This season will be based on the improvement of our younsters and i reckon us picking up naitanui is in the bag
-
Perhaps we should consider changing our mascot from a 'demon' to a DRAGON. It sounds a bit outraegous but if we are serious about this china thing it might appeal to them and some other crazy juniors
Brad Green value on the market?
in Melbourne Demons

what about
brad green and pick 17 or 19 for collingwoods pick 11 and their 2nd or 3rd pick
would this work?
