Nasher
in Melbourne Demons

By my calculations, these are the picks in the pre-season draft. All other clubs' lists are full, so they will not be participating.

1. Melbourne (Macdonald)

2. Fremantle (McPhee)

3. Richmond

4. Sydney (Bradshaw)

One live pick. Should be a ripper, I'll definitely be on the edge of my seat. :wacko: I think it's nearly time they buried this dead duck.

Anyone still think we're a chance to lose Meesen in the PSD?

    Maybe the Tigers can do us another favor by taking Meesen! Or is that stretching the friendship.........they did just hand us Trengove.....

    I think that's what they've been trying to do with the recent rule changes Nash (get rid of the PSD).

    Why can't it all be on the same day?

    There could be more to come because the AFL clubs still have a further list lodgement date. I assume that if a club now wants to grab one of the players out there and not picked they could still do it. I think Meesen is fairly safely still a Demon but Juice might still be picked up by a club, possibly even Gold Coast with one of their five rookie selections at the start of the rookie draft. It was explained to me recently that one purpose of these selections is to bolster GC17's young side as it steps up into the VFL in 2010. They will need some experienced bodies to ensure that the team remains competitive. With Newton's talents and experience at this level, he's got to be a chance. They would also need mature bodied ruckman so Meesen isn't out of the picture either.

    While I completely disagree about the talent bit, I hope you're correct. It would be great for both parties if Newton is picked up by the GC17 and then we're free to rookie another young player.

    Not to mention that I think Newton may benefit from a change of clubs, because he is clearly not making it happen at Melbourne

    You really think they would've taken Trengove over Scully?

    The key words were "at this level". I think if you had a club which had, as one of its main criteria, the need to put a side on the field that would be competive in the VFL, then you couldn't go past Newton. He's better than many of the potential KPPs selected in the second half of the draft are ever going to be and you know exactly what you're going to get with him.

    As the first member of the Juice Newton fan club (I was there the day he kicked 9 in the Sandy ressies at Windy Hill in 2006 - 6 in the third quarter and later on the day he kicked 4 against Casey seniors with limited game time) I think he still has within him the capacity to do a lot better. Unfortunately, his time might have run out with us.

    Hold your horse Nasher, this draft has so so so much more to offer!

    1. Melbourne (Macdonald)

    2. Richmond

    3. Fremantle (McPhee)

    4. Sydney (Bradshaw)

    5. West Coast - delisted Tyson Stenglein

    6. Essendon - for losing McPhee

    Will Richmond pounce on McPhee or Bradshaw (not a chance in hell), but what excitement as we wait to find out!

    We still would have had the number one pick, and we would have taken Scully. They handed it to us by beating us and giving us the priority pick... hence the name "Jordan McMahon Draftin and trading board"

    No, if the Tigers lost to us we would be on 20 points and they on 18. They would have taken Scully at Number 1.

    Anyone know if we have any players unsigned/yet to re-sign?

    Wonder what Scully was thinking as McMahon lined up for that kick. He was apparently a Tigers' supporter.

    Good post.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
