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).

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
