What Melbourne need to do NOW


DeeM

Recommended Posts

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.

sure has, as has people thinking that this is the last chance to draft

we have next year too

but keep up the good work

the content of your thread was good

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
