They didn't need to go.... They went last week ;)

Well if players are only as good as there last game, then JT isnt worth a first round pick and Reiwold is a dud!

Get hold of yourself people, one game in isolation proves nothing, especially while still at a developmental level..

    Jack Trengove will be an absolute star of the AFL & the Melbourne FC need to sign in either with pick 1 or 2.

    We can't let this one slide!

    Brocks departure forces the recruiters to take 2x mids with the first 2x picks. Scully and....Trengrove seem likely.

    Pretty sure that may have been on the cards regardless of Brock walking.

    Your kidding arn't you! Trengove is in the top 2 players in the draft, he may still go at number 1 and if he does he would fully deserve that recognition. It has nothing to do with brock leaving and it has nothing to do with our need for midfielders. You take the best availible especially when talking about the top few picks. If a key forward or back was in the top two we would take him. Look at richmond who tried to take players that they needed and missed out on players like franklin and roughhead. You take the best availble for the simple fact that they are the best.

    Brock left because we were planning to draft two mids.

    Correct - though that's not the sole reason.

    Yeh it had nothing to do with Ratten & Co. tapping him up in the middle of the season did it?

    From Matt Burgan's review of the top picks:

    "Jack Trengove (South Australia/Sturt)

    Did not attend last week's draft camp due to SANFL finals, but his recent form has several recruiters now thinking he should be taken at No.1, ahead of Scully in the draft. The tough midfielder/forward now appears to be one of Melbourne's top two picks."

    what a month! considering scully has been a lock for 4 or 5 months ... this is one hell of an effort.

    i personally am almost equally excited about both. cant split them... great times ahead

    Don't believe everything official that you read. Brock was pushed. Our FD opened the possibility at the end of season review of him being put up for trade, Brock understood the situation with all our hard in and under midfielders, spoke to his manager who quickly found a trade with Carlton who may have approached him during the season expressing interest (I am not sure of this bit). It was in both Brocks best interest and Melbourne FCs best interest to part ways saying Brock walked out. Both parties agreed that the "walk out" story was the best way forward. Brocks gets a much better contract and Melbourne get more for the trade. In other words his value is higher. Think about it, we would have been lucky to get pick 30 if it had come out that we wanted to trade him rather than him wanting to go on. Brock is also better off as he can demand a bigger contract.

    We got one back on Carlton with Brocky. Gumboots McLean is injury prone and slow. He must be the slowest 23yo midfielder in the AFL and not worth pick 11. He has about 4 seasons left before the game passes him by, and will never be better than an average player.

    Well done Dee's..

    so we are getting trengove becuae brock left? what ever happended to the talk of taking best available....

  • Quote
    Ahhh Disco, that talk is true, just happens that the best two available are both Mids.

    it does seem the best available are mids. no arguments...i'm a big fan of trengove...have read more about him than scully...just think think it's stupid talk to mention we are now taking mids because brock has left. brock leaving has forced the club to do nothing except draft another player at pick 11...i doesn't force the club to pick a mid...

    Oh, I don't doubt that at all. In fact, I believe that's what probably happened.

    Sounds quite impressive. Anyone reckon he's a chance to be drafted?

    I'd consider him as a late pick or rookie. Maybe worth a gamble at pick 50 or our 2nd or 3rd pick in the rookie draft.

    maybe we should take Luke Ball instead and give Jurrah back to collingwood while we're at it

    Like Scully, a class act all round. I can't see how they can be split as No.1 pick, and though I'm sure that neither of them would be fazed by missing out, IMO we should make them joint No.1.

    If the issue of who was taken at #1 DID become a point of some kind of contention between the two, I would consider it an opportunity for one or the other to bring it up, talk it over, and come out closer for it. How they handle one another at training, in matches and in the media (as well as socially obviously) will be the defining aspect there. They could be closer mates for it?

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
