Just throwing this out there to get some percentages of what ppl think we should do. If there is a"other" let us know who.

    There are others who should be involved in the poll, namely Morabito, Lucas and even Dustin Martin as someone else has already suggested in another thread. We need to enter the draft with our eyes wide open

    yep .both eyes wide open...one on Scully and the other on Trengove ;)

    Cunnington and Rohan come up a lot too.

    The likes of Morabito & Rohan should have been included in the poll despite favouritism for Trengove.

    I still think the club will choose Butcher and in 3 years time we'll all be stoked they did.

    Aren't ppl saying that Trengove is closing the gap with number 1 not going further away from number 2?

    Spose we could set tongues wagging by picking Trengove at 1...Scully at 2....... such would be the upset !! pmsl :P:lol:

    I think these two are now well clear of the peleton !!

    Yes, some. That wasn't my point though. I'm saying the likes of Morabito & Rohan should have been included in the poll along with Butcher & Trengove. (despite the obvious favouritism for Trengove).

    Quite a few have Morabito up there with Trengove and Rohan seems to have a bullet beside his name (on the up) and is a bit of a smoky to go early.

    Fair call. My bad. "Other" could be rather large then.

    Yeah, depending on who has pick 3, both Morabito and Rohan could have more chance of going pick 3 than Butcher ( as we'll certainly take Trengove pick 2...)

    Fair enough, they can select 'other'.

    High Tower I think you live on here, seriously.

    Fine

    Pick 2 Trengove.

    Take it easy no offence lol.

    It seems certain that Trengove is the second best midfielder, but do we know for certain that Butcher is the best tall, what are the other tall options that people think will go early. I believe we need to get the best tall forward with our second pick, if that is Butcher then we get him.

    Lunacy.

    Hope your right.

    With jack viney as a father/son in 2011, MFC would have to many mid's if they take Trengove.

    You can't serously be thinking ahead that far? What if the kid choses not to play footy? Far out people are already thinking about 15 year old's who think they will play for the club. :blink:

    2011 is only 3 years.

    MFC have a 5 year plan.

    yes, but not on 15 year old children who still have 2 years to get there in which anything could happen.

    I'm also sure that they will not factor this child into their draft choices, which you seemed to have done with Trengove. They may have had a look at him, but not much more.

    anything could happen to Trengove, Scully or Butcher. anything can happen to anybody at any time?

    I'm sure MFC can work out weather Viney wants to play AFL.

    15 year old children? Tim Watson was 16 when he played his first game.

    Trengove for me, but would be happy with Morabito or Rohan also.

    Not keen on Butcher, hoping Panos or Carlisle are still available at 18. Or, highly unlikely, Talia, who's probably the best of the lot, and definitely should go top 10.

  • Quote

    People have been talking themselves out of Butcher for a while on this forum and I can't understand why (if we recruit him he'll have a [censored] time at the club as everyone wants trengrove) but this guy has been talked about as the number two pick since last year he is a good player not some smokey who could go anywhere between 10-25. People need to realised that he is a top talent in the elite barrack and we are not talking potential but he has shown this at the underage level and that is why he is rated that high.

    He has some issues with his game as do all players but they are not as major as people make out....

    Any chance of taking Talia at #2 if we want KPP?

    Too many midfielders?

    1. How do you know that Viney will continue playing footy?

    2. How do you know that he will want to come to Melbourne, and that his career will be decent?

    3. There are other picks in the draft, not only 1 and 2. You realise that if we take Butcher, we will still get a good midfielder at pick 18. Does that mean we will have too many midfielders? And then there are picks 34 and 50. We still have picks other that 1, 2, and this potential F/S.

    There are too many contradictions by some posters.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
