Personally i believe we cant afford to carry Jones, mclean, and Moloney three players that bass their game the same way as each other, both in and under players that lack speed. But if one had to be traded or wouldnt want to be the one to choose.

YOUR CHOICES are SPOT ON i agree completely

our midfield has been what is killing us every single week yet they NEVER CHANGE IT they blame the forwards for not getting goals, but do we have any reliable midfields aside from Davey who can deliver good passes? NO

Some really smart suggestions here............so we trade off / retire our current midfield.....so who then plays in there.

Don't say trade players without coming up with alternatives...........it shows a genuine lack of imagination, and also isn't even being remotely realistic!

Wow. Unbelievably stupid and pathetically topical post.

Bruce to retire? Have you watched him at all this season? We all know he can't kick, but he's in our top 5 this year for B&F.

You should add this post to every other "insert least-favourite players names here" thread we've had the first 11 rounds this year. MFC fans like you make me sick.

Silvia: maybe he is worth something??? Get something while we can? - If you mean Sylvia then no. He's finally showing consistancy.

McClean: Does not measure up..anyone want him?? my guess no - If you mean McLean then no. Does great inside work. Just needs good outsiders.

Jones: too slow for the pick he came at who needs him..Subiaco? - If the pick was right maybe.

Bate: not worth a trade - Who else do we have to play forward?

Bell; Read above -wouldn't get a tin of baked beans for him.

Moloney: love him but if tradeable we should (geelong?) - Never. He's finally fit and plays more good games than not.

Retire NOW

Welan - If you mean Whelan then yep, but sadly.

Robbo - Still need him IMO. We have no other options

mc Donald - Yep, but again sadly.

Bruce - He might butcher it but he gets more than enough of it to make up for it.

PJ can go. Not a ruckman and doesn't use it well enough as a rover.

TRADE: Bell, Buckley, Dunn (all to improve 2nd/3rd round draft pick)

RETIRE: McDonald, Wheatley, Whelan

PROMOTE: Valentti

DRAFT PICKS: 1, 2, 2nd round, 3rd round, pick 1 PSD.

Demonsg,

You are an idiot. Syliva is EXACTLY the type of player we need in the midfield, and is finally starting to play like we know he can. Were you even watching against coll?? If it werent for him we would have been belted by 15 goals. 30 plus touches mostly effective, 3 goals and half a dozen contested marks. Ditto game against hawthorn

Moron.

Players that we might be saying goodbye to at seasons end are mcdonald, whelan, wheatley, newton, bell, one of bate and dunn, PJ, robertson and dare i say it bartram.

I have the feeling that Bruce and Green will play at least one more season.

Retire at end of the year:

McDonald, Whelan, Wheatley, Robertson

Delist:

Bell, Newton

Bate= lots of potential and already has top5 in B&F... no way delist.

Dunn, Bartram, Buckly etc to be kept on as important depth...

Newton, Bruce and Green are contracted in 2010.

Agree with your list. I am not sure that they will pay Newton out but its possible.

However I reckon PJ and Buckley are strong contenders to be let go in addition to the names you have got.

You want to trade Sylvia after he is finally showing some heart and determination.

the trade for early picks time is over. Whoever we have that may yield an early pick is not in our best interest to trade because they are youth

Gone: Bell, Wheately, Whelan, Mcdonald, Robertson

Sylvia, Moloney and Mclean are 3 of our top 4 players.

Green and Bruce will stay. Newton won't be delisted. Either will Dunn. I still don't know why Newton isn't playing in our team. He is just one of those players that I rate that no-else does. Like I rate Wheately and rated Ward in his day because he ran the lines and had a nice long accurate kicks. Oh well, stick with Brad Miller and see how far you get. We currently have a first rate Key forward on our list and we aren't even playing him. wtf! I just dont get it. anyway, end of rant

I still remain confused as to why posters think we have any value at the trade table besides the kids under 24. I can only think of Davey and by a stretch on his current form Sylvia as having trade potential. Players like Green, Bruce are two old and would be used by clubs for a final title at a flag but we see this less and less these days (Sydney are really the only side that look to trade to keep them from bottoming out, not sure how long it will take for the bottom to drop out of there list though with so many players in the late 20's early 30's on there list). Players like Newton, Dunn, Bell etc are struggling for a game in the bottom team in the comp and have shown nothing for most of there careers, why would other teams want them especially with tis being the last season for a long while with a "clean" draft?????? Boggles mind.. mine.

I think you'll find that Bell has another year on his contract, so unless you want to pay that out, the team may have to keep him. i think that whoever said you wouldn't get a can of beans for him perhaps doesn't read the market very well. Perhaps the best thing for the Demons, and for Bell is to trade him... then again, perhaps in a different team, he could be a different player....

Ward was anything but an accurate kick. His run was negated by his penchant for kicking indiscrimantly and turnover the ball.

And Wheatley has shown little in 2 VFL games that he is pushing for AFL selection.

Newton's skills are negated by limitations above the shoulder. If he really nails at VFL level, he should be given another go at AFL level. But that cat would be on his last life if he stuffs it again.

How many cans of beans is he worth? And which clubs will pay it?

does no one remember the talk that went around about him at the crows, although it was after he'd re-signed. i know a lot of people around here don't think he's any good, and constantly attack his awareness, but he's played 2 games for the season. no-one can switch straight back on after being out for almost half a season. give him (and everyone else for that matter) some time. all the chopping and changing every week does no one any good. pick your team and let them play. they can't do much worse.

i honestly think that Bell would get a game in many other sides (call me naive or stupid if you will). IMHO, Bell does get caught sometimes, but so do a lot of others. maybe rather than attacking the guy who puts his head over the ball and gets caught with it, we should be having a go at the guy standing just off to the side, not communicating, and waiting for the easy stat.. (would be so easy to name some of those slack, stat racking up players, but i wont).

like i said, perhaps Bell would be better off somewhere else... but hindsight is a wonderful thing and can often bite you in the ass.

limitation above the shoulders? are u referring to his overhead marking? if so, thats the last thing you should be bringing up when referring to Newton. He is a great overhead mark. If Watts can get a game after 22 soft touches in the vfl then newton should get promoted after taking 5 contested marks a week, 18 or so touches and several goals a week. Not to mention his chasing and tackling. I still maintain he is a 50+ goal a year forward. Has no flaws. His kicking isnt even a flaw..its a great asset of his that simply is a bit out of form.

Bruce to retire? Have you watched him at all this season? We all know he can't kick, but he's in our top 5 this year for B&F.

This is our prob at the moment, a player who gets it 25+ times but does not use it that well all the time is in our top 5, Ina few years time he will be between 8 - 15 in our B&F then we will be a contender.

Ward was anything but an accurate kick. His run was negated by his penchant for kicking indiscrimantly and turnover the ball.

I so agree with this, Ward got it, ran 10 meters and belted it as long as he could anywhere.

Posted

I think Newton's problems are above his shoulders- and RR was not referring to his overhead marking but his brain - he doesn't have one.

When you consistently miss shots from around the goal square and kick checksides from 8m out then i would suggest kicking IS perhaps a problem.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Newton.

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
