We trade right this team is very possible.

Stuff the 5 year plan when we can have this next year.

Maybe have a crack at Kerr while we are at it and the rebuild is complete and we go give it a shake.

    Brown? ROFL

    What part of 'give me kids and more kids' dont you understand?

    Dean Bailey may as well not bother communicating with the fans anymore seeing as how they dont seem to understand a thing about footy. (Myself and a rare few others excluded)

    And exactly what did you trade to get J.Brown?

    I see that Green, Bruce, Sylvia, McLean, Davey, Morton and pick 1 are still there.

    Did we give away Jace Bode for him? What a coup!

    Now what?

    His side is far more realistic though. We are NO chance to get Brown - why in the world would he play for us anyway?

    If we "stuff" the 5 year plan we may end up making the finals, flopping, and then being rubbish for years to come.

    This seems to me like a strong young list with an emphasis on midfield rotation. You've got Morton, Davey, Bruce, Green, Sylvia, McDonald, Moloney and Buckley who can all rotate through the midfield, allowing McLean and young Daniel Rich (who I hope we draft) to stay fresh.

    Never say never. "If" and "may" are hardly solid words you use. I like my chances better. My team would last 3 years. In that time we have 3 years of picking kids while our marque recruits teach our kids work ethic.

    Silly team... completely unrealistic... and if we really do want a premiership then this is not the direction we should take.

    - J.Brown is in the top 5 players in the competition and the most inspiring leader. it would require pick 1 plus more to get him...

    Besides which Bailey indicated he wanted to rebuild from under 22yrs old... plus Jbrown publicly said he didn't want to play for melbourne.. i dont play him.

    - B.Cousins is completely the wrong fit for melbourne. too old, we wont be recruiting anyone over 24 fullstop.

    More realistic, but equally as exciting for is:

    2009 INS:

    R.Warnock--- quality young ruck

    J.Watts---- quality young KP forward

    pick 17 and pick 19---- 2 quality fast, skillful midfielders.

    Plus----

    J.Grimes is basically a new recruit. slipped to pick 14 last year bc of injury. we have worked him thru his injuries and now fully fit. will prove to be a gem.

    A.Maric completed year 12 this year so effectively next year will be the first season he has proper go at it

    Morton needs a pre-season to work on his body so will be so exciting next year

    Moloney, Rivers, McLean, Robbo missing for huge chunks of this year and all are in our best 18 players.

    That is how we will turn things around... not silly suggestions like getting J.Brown and B.Cousins.

    Whelan, Warnock, Garland

    Wheatley, Rivers, C.Johnson

    Green, Moloney, Morton

    Davey, Bate, Robertson

    Sylvia, Miller, Wonaeamirri

    Warnock, Mclean, Jones

    Int: Bruce, Martin, P.Johnson, Pettard, Buckley, Bell, McDonald

    Emerg: Valenti, Frawley, Newton, Bartram

    Developing but could be in our best 18 by years end:::: Grimes (pick 14 2007), Maric (pick 21 2007), Cheney (pick 52 2007), J.Watts (pick 1 2008), pick 17 2008 and pick 19 2008.

    I would also look to trade either Bruce or Green (preferably Bruce) for a first round pick (but NO LESSS). they are the only players on our list who have currency and they are both 28.

    Carrying Bate and maybe even Jones is the problem with your team. Exchange with J.Brown and Cousins. See the difference?

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
