    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.

    I always liked King.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
