With Rivers and Moloney definite outs this week we can give a big effort and still lose honourably.

The young players will be learning every second they're on the field and I'm happy to take that.

To give Richmond a walk up start for yet another set of early draft picks would be a travesty.

Definitely time to look at the bigger picture...just have a look at the Dorks and the Blues.

(And I didn't mention the 'T' word once and I think I got away with it.)

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.

Look whats happened to the Eagles without their star running players, look at the Saints not dominating the middle, look at the Bombers, did you see the Tiges on the weekend get smashed in the 2nd half by a dominant group of Crows running players?,.

We need to build on our midfield stocks to add some who can win their own hardball & also deliver pinpont to the forwards 1st up & we need another pick around 10 - 15 for a Key Forward, then more Key forwards further down the draft for insurance.

Hopefully we'll grab Robbie Warnock via tradeing someone?

After 11 rounds we have 1 win. Play the kids give them Game time. At years end have a HUGE cleanout and start afresh. Bailey has no reason to have made Favorites. He must treat the situation as a business

We've allready started fresh in 2003, and we're freshening up since, now we're extending the house to fit our kids in their own rooms. Some of these kids will be tradesmen, some will be lawyers & some will be bankers, & some will have to get out when old enough to go rent.

With the excitment Nautini is generating, he has the potential of been a fan-favourite and a marquee player which is something we desperately need.

A type that brings supporters to the game to watch.

Even in such a dissapointing season this year, players like Auzzie Wona bring Melbourne supporters to the game because he is exciting to watch and a player of the future.

If Richmond win LESS than 5 games, even if they don't finish last (ala Carltank) they will receive a PIORITY pick in the first round.

Having aready won 3 1/2 games if they loose to us Twice our No. pick is assured. If not we've snookered ourselves.

It's "four wins or less" (16 points), not less than five wins. So Richmond's draw comes in to play there.

So the only basis Richmond could steal the priority pick at 1 is if they didn't manage to win another game all year.

Melbourne x2

Freo at 'g

WC at Subi

Essendon at 'G.

Port at Aami

Carlton at 'G.

as well as the less likely Brisbane (at the dome though), Adelaide, Geelong and Hawthorn.

If Richmond can't manage a win out of that... we'll see them in round 22. Surely we can't lose a priority pick in our last game two years in a row. It would go down in history that we copped almost as much of a penalty for winning two games against tanking opponents, as Carlton did for sustained flagrant breaches of the salary cap.

Given that Meloburne winning three more games for the year is optimistic. I'd say I'd love four wins and pick 17 as a bonus.

I'm also starting to get the Naitanui bug. Maybe I want pick 1 too...

But I'd hardly complain about Hurley coming in, being given the number 9 and told to become the next David Neitz. I can see it now - early career playing at CHB and beating Wayne Carey (sorry.. Lance Franklin) and earning AA honours, then going forward and getting another AA and a Coleman medal.

Seriously, given the hype NicNat gets, might as well spruik it up a bit for Hurley as well, just in case.

    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

    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
