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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
