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).

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
