Is it a foregone conclusion?

Will we pick up Jack Watts in the National Draft as it has been widely tipped? Or will it be Naitanui or Rich?

Or will Melbourne somehow lure Warnock from Fremantle from the financial grip of Carlton (commonly referred to as VISY Blues in some circles)?

If you had a wish list what would it be (ie like a list for Santa) come trade and draft time, what would it be?

Here's my list: -

TRADE: - Green & Pick 35 to Bulldogs for Pick 14 in return.

Daniel Bell and pick 67 for Adam Thompson (Port Adelaide)

DRAFT: - Picks 1, 14, 17, 19, 51

Pick up Watts, Zaharkis, Blease, Vickery (not necessarily in that order) and fluke quality with 51 somehow.

PSD: - Robbie Warnock!

GO DEES!!

HF: DAVEY MILLER SYLVIA

F: VICKERY WATTS MARIC

Foll: R.WARNOCK JONES MOLONEY

Bit far fetched..........we can only dream!

Wonamerri (sorry everyone) and pick 35 to Fremantle in return for pick 21.

1. Watts

17. Blease

19. Roughead

21. Zaharakis

Why would we trade Wonaemirri.

FFS, why does everyone think just because a player is a decent performer he should be traded. We need a core group of players to build our young squad around. There is no need to trade Green, Wheatley, Sylvia, Wonaemirri just for the sake of it. I was completely for Travis Johnstone's trade. It was a good offer and the right time to part with Trapper. And If it were to be the same situation for one of the players listed above I wouldnt mind but we cant just throw them away.

And why Podisadly, he's a decent player who has consistently done the job at VFL level but do you not understand the word youth. Google it, you might learn something.

1 - Jack Watts. We need a forward before a ruckman.

17 - David Zaharakis. Will probably be the best midfielder available at this point.

19 - Mitch Banner/Aaron Cornelius. Depending on where we want to go, these two will both become excellent performers.

35 - Jordan Roughead. I can see him slipping back this far. We need a ruckman.

Why the hell does everyone seem to think any trade we do will involve a pick and a player for a higher pick????WHY!!!And Wonaeamirri???? Yeah, lets give up a good little player for nothing. And Brad Green? Sure, if he doesnt sign,shop him around for the best pick.IMO he should be the next skipper so why trade him???

It's a good way to upgrade picks and in a valuable draft like this (Not only quality wise, but because of GC17 in years to come) we need to grab any decent picks we can get.

Is Didak worth considering , or Brad Fisher from carlton . Both may be on the trade table .

Didak in some quarters has been tipped to stay at the filth. However, recent talks with Ben Cousins with Mick Malthouse - allegedly - may or may not depend on Didak staying. Rhyce Shaw could be another development.

Edit: In relation to who may be on the trade table. Not insinuating that Melbourne should chase Didak or Shaw.

We dont need Didak. His an excellent player, but his off-field profile is not something the MFC need.

Brad Fisher is a so-so player. Reliable for a goal but very ineffective most of the time.

No to both.

Why would we pick up a 27 or 28 year old from the VFL (podsiadly)? Absolutely ridiculous, it does not fit in with our YOUTH policy for starters and the fact he has been on about 4 rookie list tells me he is not up too it. :wacko:

Quite right. Podsiadly has been playing a number of years now at VFL level. If you were going to pick him up it would of been 4-5 years ago, even longer.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
