The melbourne football club will win a premiership in 5 years time,why am i so certain, well our club bottomed out just in time,we will only win 3 to 4 games, get priority picks in the last unrigged draft, the next two draft after this year all of the top picks will be going to gc17 the wc18,so the next side to bottom out sydney, st kilda will take 7 years to rebuild, because they will not be able to rebuild their list for 4 years, carlton will not win a premiership with judd in their side he takes up to much of carlton's salary cap, so they will have 6 very good players on their list but they will have no depth at all. they will have good young player that deserve about $350000, but because off salary cap ,they pay those player 250000, they will leave beauce of gc 17 offing big money

    Let's say, hypothetically, that we are 4 wins or less this year. We get our two big picks, and after this, in a perfect world, start to make a climb. Say 12th in 2010, then 9th in 2011... If this (or something like this) were to eventuate we would be getting a pick #5 and a pick #8... Assuming there weren't any other priorities. Those are still VERY juicy picks, that any other regular team bottoming out would use to apply the finishing touches to their core. Perhaps even trade one of those picks, plus a player, for another pick in the top 3 or 4. As it stands, if we climb the ladder as suggested above, it will turn our pick #5 into about a pick #12 or so... and the pick #8 into about pick #20.

    You're kidding yourself if you think the GC17 club won't hurt us when it comes to recruiting. You could argue we missed the worst of it, but then we're not going to rebuild a side using ONLY the 3 years worth of draft picks we got when bottoming-out. ('07, '08 and probably '09) In fact, if we got close and didn't bring home the biccies when we next are pushing for the flag, I'm sure people WILL blame the GC drafting concessions.

    And as for other clubs that will be threats. The Hawks, assuming they cling to their best players, will be one of the major teams to beat in the coming 4-6 years. Carlton will likely be one of those as well, as they have ALWAYS found a way around the financial problems associated with the draft in the past.

    There's a lot of water to pass under the bridge just yet.

    When will Jack Viney be eligible for the draft? Coz GC17 aren't allowed to touch f/s's from what i understand. He would be a very handy pick up indeed.

    This Club Should always Strive to be the Best it can Be, Thus the Rebuild is never over Grasshopper. Improvement can always be made.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
