I'm still not sure why we needed "your" collective summary when we already have individual threads on each of the players.

I think its a good thread personally Neita. It may have legs. Much like Sheahan's top 50. :lol:

The input on the thread and for each of our new recruits is gathering. I'm not sure where you are coming from, Nugget's done a good job, and he can update it as the info comes in. Easier than sifting through 15-25 threads on our picks.

Here's a new article not yet on the draft page

Strauss relieved to be a Dee

Thanks for the link on Strauss, melbman.

Nugget.. Sam Blease reminds me of Nigel Lappins run & carry with the Lions. Apart from looking like a Daniel Ward. He seems to have the skills to match a N.Lappin, or even a young David King from the Roos a decade ago. I think he can play tall too, unlike a Brent Harvey.

Blease looks like the absolute steal of this draft - Moves well, great acceleration, wins his own ball and excellent footskills. Can't wait to him in the red & blue!

Totally agree, with the speed of today's game, I cant believe he was still there at 17.

There is one player he reminds me of in the footage, however I'm not prepared to jinx things.

Hopefully he can turn his 15 possession games into 25s, which I'm sure he will as he's only young.

25 from Blease with his speed and disposal will = 40 from anyone else in coming years.

Any word on Moloney? Obviously we tried and failed to draft a tough middy that get's his own ball. Kind of sounds like we aren't to confident about Moloney getting back in the swing of things anytime soon.

i dont know if that's the case

in 2005, moloneys first year at the club, he came third in the best and fairest (i think)

when he is not injured (which is mainly due to bad luck in his case) moloney can be a very valuable asset to melbourne

Oh yeah I'm not saying he hasn't got it, I really think if he could've stayed on the field since we recruited him he might be the heart and soul of this club by now.

I love that he's a D's man and that he has shown in his actions off-field with the kids that his priority is to help the club move forward. When we get him right he will go straight back to being a weapon..

If anyone is going to clean up Juddy down the track, it'll be Moloney, and when he does I might need to change my fav player.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
