If West Coast get the spoon and take Rich ?

If Melbourne end up 14th ?

Thoughts ?

Hartlett is a standout prospect for mine, along with Ziebell, Deboer, Yarran, Cornelius......

At least the talent pool is deep. ;)

At this stage Hartlett, without a doubt. Vickery has improved his value over the carnival, if he continues to build on that form for the rest of the season it will be interesting.

That guy who played full back, was that hurley? I reckon he looked very good, which could free martin or Garland to go forward.

You've got rocks in your head. What number do you think that bloke will go at?

Agree Vickery looks the goods.

The concern with Vickery is that he has already had a full knee reco ?

After yesterday's debacle, it's unlikely that Melbourne will end up 14th. We're a game and percentage behind Fremantle and they still have to play West Coast so even if we beat the Eagles later in the year, we're still a fair way behind them. The likelihood is that we'll finish 15th or 16th and if Watts gets picked up ahead of our pick or if he doesn't nominate, we'll get Rich or Naitanui.

Then Jack Watts is going to the Gold Coast. He is a spud if he doesnt nominate this year. If he wants to stay in Melbourne, this year is his only hope. He will nominate, its a given.

He can nominate for next years draft... the goldcoast only has picks in the draft in 2010!!!

We are almost certain now to get 15th or 16th. Freo will beat WCE next week. they will have 4 wins and tons of % on us. that means only way well come 14th is if we get 5 wins and they dont win another game. that's not gonna happen.

with pick 2 we can get Rich or Naita if Watts doesn't nominate

I think he could easily go top 10, I saw a lot of him over the carnival and thought he was a stand out and any one wanting a kp defender will get a bloody good player.

Well if he goes top 10, I dare say we wont pick him up if we have 1st or 2nd pick. Lets hope he goes around 17 or 18 at our second pick!

I'm pretty sure they start picking at the 2009 draft, correct me if I'm wrong

It seems to me that Watts is pretty determined to stay in Victoria, and much of what he is saying is geared torward this.

Reading between the lines, i think when Melbourne finish bottom 2 at the end of this season, if they want to draft Watts and give him assurances they will be picking him with pick 1 or 2, he will nominate.

If he waits another year, he could still end up at the Eagles, Crows or another state anyway.

The proposal is that they would nominate 15 of the best 16 y.o. in 09, but nothing has been agreed to. Watts would still be available next year, but there's also the likelihood that West Coast would take him with their Priority Pick next year. ;)

there is no way Hurley would slip to 17 or 18. Dual All Australian full back, won vic metro's MVP for the carnival has fantastic closing speed and last year played forward in a TAC cup game in which he kicked 6 goals. The kid is a gem and if his talent isn't his selling point then his consistancy has got to be.

More on topic i'd go for Ziebell if we finish 3rd last and Watts doesn't nominate, Kevin Sheahan rated him a number one draft prospect and after watching him in the carnival and playing school footy i can see why. Won't happen though.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
