Back in the 1997 draft when Craig Cameron was the dees recruiting manager, after pick 1 (T. Johnstone) Melbourne had pick 20. There was a bloke from WA who he really liked the look of. I can't remember the exact reason they didn't take him, I think he got injured, and they wanted to see more...

If Kennedy was worth 3 and 12, and 12 was worth a fit Trengove and 23, then 'in theory' Mitchell is worth pick 2 minus a fit Trengove according to this trade. This for a guy who couldn't even get a game despite beating the door down all year, not the most outrageous trade. Hypothetically, if...

If there's any substance to this rumour, then 2 and 3 is overs for Josh Kennedy given his age. 2/3 and 12 which was potentially the originally plan seems about right. If I were at the Demons trade table, I'd be offering 2, 3 and 23 for Kennedy and Tom Mitchell. I'd say this is a fair trade...

So if Melbourne were able to secure a band 1 player via free agency by some miracle, under your system they'd have to forfeit pick 2, whilst Hawthorn would only give up pick 18 for the same player? How is that not helping the strong teams and hurting the strugglers?

The reason the AFLPA don't like compensation, is because at the moment it can be an incentive for a club not to sign a free agent. For example, Melbourne won't sign any FA for the rest of the period because it would dilute the Frawley compensation. So for us to sign a FA now, we need to give...

I was actually a little worried Dunn might get a show cause notice, because he was named in some of the Dank coverage last year. So I googled 'Lynden Dunn ASADA' and noticed this thread. And from what I read, he was injected with some vitamins it seems, no Thymacin, which is good news.

thought I might give this a bump given they played on each other on the weekend. Some great Bigfooty foresight happening in this thread

for those who think Sydney are doing the right thing by blocking him, here's another way of looking at it. If Melbourne were determined that the senior assistant were to be at the club in 2014, then they may not offer it to Dew but offer it to someone else who is available. Completely...

Not So Sure They Underrated Anymore. Opposites The Number One Album In The UK, And I Can't Stop Listening To It. Very Little FilLer For A double Album. It Is Amazing. Mon The Biff

the same pick that we gave up for Rodan? is there a record for a draft pick that's changed hands 3 times and gone back to its original club?

KM, given that you say that the top 20 are pretty even, do you feel Melbourne have lost much dropping for pick 13 to 20 in the mini-draft trade? Plenty are saying that this downgrade has seen Melbourne paid overs, but if Barry comes off, and the talent is pretty even between 13 and 20, then...

this is all GWS' fault, and that stupid mini draft... it was created to allow them to get 'experienced' players, but in realty has just provided them with more elite young talent... no mini draft and O'Meara is in the pool, you've got a clear top 2 players, and the GC don't risk bidding on Viney...

he's had one bad game in front of goal, having kicked 2.5 for the year. In his career he's kicked 333.188, with his best year in 2010 yielding 55.27. His worst season as far as accuracy goes was 2006 when he kicked 11.17. I'd say these calls are a little too early. Whilst I think he may...

Firstly, your chosen recruitment strategy was to use concessions designed to allow you to be competitive when you join the competition and recruit senior players, to instead chase more youth, even though you'd already had access to a nice share of the young players coming through. It differed to...

http://www.sen.com.au/display-afl/Sheedy-accuses-Demons/35223 Firstly I'm not here to troll, I don't even post that often anymore these days, but I read this article today, and I became curious about what GWS supporters thought of their coach. All he appears to be doing from my point of...
