Do they have to fill them? Can MFC afford to do that? I would have thought one rookie ruck (Spencer) is enough. Any others wont see more than VFL seconds on a good day.

Very good point.

I'm pretty sure the spots DO NOT have to be filled. But I may be wrong.

It is not correct. All teams have 8 rookie spots this year.

Pretty sure it is only 8 rookie spots IF you have no veterans outside the list. Which would make sense as to why we have 6 rookie spots. It is just that other teams who also have 2 veterans outside the list have 7 rookie slots.

You might be right there.

but u dont have to fill every spot i dont think and i doubt melbourne will, with the $$$ situation

No you don't have to fill every spot. But if there is someone we are interested in, we should rookie them. Our financial situation is not going to get better by cutting on football expenditure. The Football Dept should never have funding cut. This is a deep year for talent, considerably deeper than next year will be, so if there is talent, we should take it.

The talent only extend to the national draft and only to the first two rounds so your comment does not seem relevent to rookies. You dont know how next year will pan out as players develop so your comparison is non sensical.

Despite all the hoopla, 2008 will only be known as a year of talent once we have seen what its graduates deliver over 3 to 5 years. I hope Watts is a star!!!

FWIW, I heard 5 years ago that the 2003 draft was good for talent....I am still waiting for it to show:rolleyes:

Jamar's Jamar, PJ's biggest fans seem to call him a great 'second ruck' - do NQR gals get 'great bridesmaid'? - and Meesen's probably behind Spencer if you listen to reports on Demonland.

I want to see us rookie more rucks, particularly if we don't pick one up in the PSD.

I believe Hawthorn have six ruck prospects on their list.

Aactually rhinestone, the talent will only fall in this draft at every 3rd pick, but 3rd & 4th at the beginning of each round. so if you devide this by 2 & 5/6 you will end up with crap.

Oh & by the way this therom says that there's no talent at all amongst this years rookies, fact. :wacko:

You think there is only talent in the first two rounds?!? And you are calling me nonsensical? You should get in to stand up.

Oh and you heard 2003 was a good one? From where? Your neighbour's cat? This "hoopla" you refer to comes from professional recruiters, not the media.

I will keep it simple.

When they say the talents deep, its in reference to comparison with previous years rather than suggesting that the 2008 draft is a race of uber footballers. The first two rounds was in reference to statements from professional recruiters that it was possible to recruit a quality footballers that would normally be taken in a first round available into the 2nd round.

And any reference to the deep talent in the draft does not necessarily refer to the rookie draft.

Good luck with the chest beating.

This may sound funny. But ... I really like our list. I think we have the foundations of something special.

There is probably 5-6 players playing for their AFL future in 2009 combined with some promising kids.

Kids are funny ... never under estimate them, they can easily surprise.

Go Dees

here is our list in order of age, oldest to youngest... gives us an idea of the future... i draw the line where I see the available players who will be around for our next flag tilt... of those above the line, Brad Green is probably one who could still be there, not sure about the others...

everyone else is in contention, which is exciting, because there are only going to be so many spots on the list, and only the fittest will last...

You may have 2 or 3 retirements out of Junior, Robbo and Whelan at 2009 years end.

At this point Bell, Moloney and Jamar are in the gun for mine. Hope that spurs them onto to bigger and better things!

I would have Meesen in my gun sights!

    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
