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)

Like I said sweetheart. Stuff the 5 year plan and go with this team and have a crack.

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!

Pick 17 and Bate? or Jones?

or Pick 21 Bate or Jones?

Something along them lines.

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.

Out of all the teams posted (except Yze Magics) Mine still wins hands down.

In fact put it up against Geelong and have a look.

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.

Give what a shake, "Rebuild complete"! OH gOLLY Gosh I've read some rubbish but this takes the cake.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
