We must pick up Naitanui and then deal hard for a low 1st rounder to get Hurley.

This will go a long way to building that spine we have sorely missed.

Don't get me wrong, Rich would be awesome too but we have a plethora of current and up coming midfielders.

I was always one to win at all costs, but I think we've been trying to this this all year & we just cant - lack of talent & skill. So at until end of year, just play the youth & then BIG CLEAN OUT - NO SOFT SPOTS!!

If need be, trade for early draft picks.

well i think thats the thing...bailey has to bight the bullet and not be too loyal

we cant be too loyal, evem if people have a year left on their contract, if he doesnt think they can make the "premiership side" then they should be traded/delisted/forced to retire

We need a winning culture more than anything. We will finish bottom 2 or 4 anyway.

So PLAY TO WIN.

We have to get the no. 1 pick before the new teams come in or we'll be a bottom 4 team for years.

So i suggest keep playing Bell,Bartram & Bode and it's ours :lol:

Spot On. Take Geelong and Sydney as examples. This club cannot afford to tank and I doubt the word exists in Dean Bailey's vocab. Looking at our young guys today he's got plenty to work with. If a few things fell our way today we would of rolled them. We're going to get good picks regardless. Winning is everything. Espcially at a club that has accepted mediocrity as long as we have.

I have always believed in playing to win... except next w/e against the Tigers. This is a must lose game for us!! They are starting to look ordinary and we need them to get 1 more win!Natanui will help keep our club alive with the amount of people coming to watch him play, much like Buddy Franklin is doing for Hawthorn.

HB, you are way ahead of the plot. What say we finish last, get Natanui, and he does an ACL in the first practice game? What then?

This is Cargo Cult stuff, pure and simple.

Lets beat the tiges and the bombers (never a better name!). That's probably about it. We will finish bottom 2/4 and will get a very good player in the draft.

Natanui or whoever, they will be good, IF WE CHOOSE WELL.

I think we can win another 2-3 games and still get the number 1 pick.

There is a lot to look forwrd to the next 11 weeks.

A few more wins engineered by our exciting youngsters... Nick Natanui coming to the club ... Cameron Bruce being traded away.

I'll be happy with NikNat or Rich but PSD 1 could prove a big carrot this year.

Richmond can have this weekend and i'll take the Rd 22 game where we go for our 4th win of the year.

Good idea jacey, that should satisfy most. However where are the other 2 wins going to come from?

Be werry werry careful !!

Its no about US wining 4 or less games..its abpout us finishig on teh bottom.. That means winning less than Freo and essendon and Westies.

There is far more to this that simply US not winning

Dont be mistaken ,

dont be mislead..

in order to get the pick we want

we must finish dead ( last )

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
