Me either!! Sure Judd is a champ but he is going to be well past his prime when we will be up challenging for the flag. Trengove and Scully will be running rampant by then and we will be enjoying the fruits of a rather ordinary 3 years and have no qualms about the losses we had to have.

... You do know that Chris Judd is only 25 right?

... You don't see Melbourne challenging within the next 5 years?

2013 would be the absolute earliest imo, but more likley our window will be 2014-2018.

Geelong won the 2008 flag on the back of draft years 1999-2001; Brisbane assembled their dynasty of 2001-04 from '93 onwards; and if the Saints win it this year it will be because of the 2000-2002 drafts.

West Coast won in 06 - Judd's 5th year and Hawthorn were an abberation.

When Melbourne win a flag it will be on the back of the 2007-09 drafts.

I expect 7-9 victories next year; Finals in 2011/12; a prelim/GF in 2013; and a flag/s in the 2014-18 window.

will start stockpiling the champers now.. :lol:

essentially agree but footy is a funny game,so much between the ears. If they get their tails up and build a cohesion quickly i'd say a tilt a bit earlier isnt unrealistic. So much depends on the fortunes or demise of other teams as well as the wildcard effect of GC and WS. Not that I expect much from them..but they will change the status quo.

Fair summary. I think the time line is pretty good. I would have though 6 to 8 wins next year but its mincing words.

I would not be unhappy if MFC had a Hawthorn like aberration!!

I trust supporters are not expecting a Phoenix like recovery next year. With the retirements to date expected, it will be a younger team next year still on a steep learning curve.

Cats won the 2007 flag.

Agree with your timeline assessment for Melbournefc. A 6-7 year process from the 2007 National Draft which would mean 2013-2014 when the 'window opens'.

Like the sound of Daniel Talia having a hamstring injury that might make him slide - mentioned in the article that he's expected to go late 1st round / early 2nd - above anyone else I want Talia or Carlisle at pick 18.

Failing these 2, i'd take James Craig or Vardy.

Provided they're the best available of course.

Talia's injury:

With the advent of the 2 new sides in the next 2 years things may change a little with that timeline. As in we have 2 unknown opponents to contend with.

With good Drafting this year, i would hope we would have a crack at eighth spot next year.

After next year its too hard to predict (Jurrah is going to kick 12-13 one day i can feel it) We have so much potential in the wings..

Talia would be a dead handy pickup... just cant see him lasting til 18... he'll be top 10

My resaoning is there are few of his type ranking in the first say 25.. A team needing his type will pounce and he'd make a handy third tall type in defence ina very short whiles, then working his way up.

He probably ranks around the 20 mark...but this draft and trade period will throw up surprises..This kid will be one

Yeah, that's exactly why I want him too - I see him as a valuable commodity, moreso than another speedy flanker, etc.

Fingers crossed on Carlisle.

Have you seen 'Jenny' play ?

Oh, SNAP.

Can't believe thats the first time I've heard that.

Unfortunately for him though, I doubt its the first time Daniel would have heard it.

So are we going to bring back this trade/draft room, or what? Surely nine pages is convincing enough ...

Yeah, i think its time now.

Pretty much guaranteed considering we have saints next week(touch wood).

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
