This is probably already been said but with the last year of picks before Gold coast ect come in we need to draft BIG.

We've seen it with the hawks and how they got rid of all there good players that wouldn’t be in the next premiership, and drafted all these guns. In 04 they had 4 picks inside the top 21!

The players like the Green’s and Bruce’s are some of my favourites but we don’t need them, so heres my plan.

Nearly all the players over 25 that will be worth something should be gone.

If we were to trade Green and Bruce to the same club we could easily get a top 10 pick.

We should give Macca the captaincy then when he’s gone McLean should be right.

I know every ones going to say we need some experience we need some old players but we don’t need all off them.

Trade right NOW and we will see the benefits in the coming years.

This is just my opinion so if you don’t like it or want to add to it, please do

Sorry to anyone who has written something along the lines of this, and sorry about the spelling.

Mods if need be merge this with something else, I wanted to start a topic just for Melbourne not hawks

    agree with the trading but i reckon its unlikely that it will happen. draft picks are gonna be tough to trade for, considering this is the last real draft, but we can still draft in 09 as the gold coast come in 010. it sounds dodgy but i think we need to have another bad season next year and get the priority pick. Theres some good players like butcher,scully and may which we can hopefully pick up and than its on the way up in 010.

    Just to let you know that next year is the last one before Gold Coast. They get the first picks in 2010

    Actually the GC get a whole lot off access to a bunch of 17 year olds next year so it really does start after this draft.

    Why did Gardiner vote for the 2 new Teams...Grr!! Thanks

    Not quite right. GC get access to the first 12 under seventeen year olds next year.

    In 2009, GC17 have the capicity to sign 12 players born from January to April 1992. This means that the 2010 draft is a real bust; the 2009 draft is still reasonably OK.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
