Melbourne has two players Sam Blease and James Strauss, from the 2008 draft yet to play a game. I believe they got draft pick 17 and 18 respectively. So the assumption is they have talent. Both have been out for much of the year with injury. Can anyone confirm if they are going to be 100% come start of pre-season? Both are young blokes with a pretty good background. Should we be seeing them come the time pre-season comp?

blease looks pretty slick. just hope he's right for the start of pre-season. looking at this guy makes me think we will take a key position player with the second pick...ie.., butcher

I hope your wrong about taking a KP with our second pick Disco Biscuit, I mean Demon.

I'd watched both Blease and Strauss on YouTube at the start of the year, but I'd forgotten how good these two looked! I can't wait to get them both out on the park. Give them both full pre seasons and they could add class and pace to our midfield. I just hope Blease doesn't loose any of that electrifying pace, as a result of his broken leg (it was a leg not a shoulder, correct?). Imagine, adding Scully and Trengove to those two, plus Grimes, Sylvia, Bennell etc. Suddenly, pace, skill and great decision making.

Mr 'knows-nothing' Morton - you seem to know nothing about our current players..ie., Sam Blease...how can you then say we shouldn't take a KP with our second pick?

your probably going to educate me on best available now...and then i'm going to say you don't have a crystal ball...

If there was a standout key position player, we probably would take a KP, but there isn't, so we'll go with two midfielders.

What the?

I admit I am of the Younger age bracket around here but your use of Mr 'knows-nothing' Morton phrase is what my 7 year old cousin would say.

Why was that taken so personally? Looks like someone has used the Crystal ball line on you before?

Maybe it was the Disco Biscuit thing? if you realised what the means you wouldn't take it to heart buddy.

Yes I have not seen any of Blease, care to tell me other players I know nothing about as you seem to know ?

Anyway it's all good fun around here, you might want to relax and take down that defensive barrier that someone else has created.

If there was a standout key position player, we probably would take a KP, but there isn't, so we'll go with two midfielders.

Yerp.

The media is saying scully and trengove...as do most people on this site. but it's my perception that many people on this site only know of the players via youtube. myself included...

happy to take the first two standouts...scully and trengove...so i guess pick 18 will be best available KPP.

There we go ;)

You would have to assume if we do go with these 2 then pick 18 would be KPP.

I have seen a couple of games live of Matty Panos for Norwood in the reserves and he looked Ok. His body looked quite big considering his age. He takes a really good strong mark, although the few games I have seen he had limited amount of the ball. Still I would be happy to take him at 18.

Its funny, as a young kid it used to always fascinate me the way my dad and other men knew the numbers of players and I wondered how they managed to know them... did they spend hours studying the numbers, memorising in case of some bizarre exam?

Now I reckon you could name just about any player from the last few decades & i'd be able to tell you their number off the top of my head, as with most people on this forum.

(its not that funny)

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
