and even more relevant with free agency fast approaching and us with a young poachable list. Honour and trust is a two way street; we will expect players to place a high value on loyality; therefore it is not unreasonable that the players would expect the same from a club. This integrity or trust will be built/destroyed on actions - the MFC will likely be viewed by AFL players quite favourably because of their handling of Newton/Meeson.

Like most of us that have been in a relationship, we know that once trust is broken it is very difficult, nigh impossible to get back!!!

AGREE- (as per in my thread list changes-I believe we should be looking at another ruckman.

However,in answering this thread- I like Rhys Stanley 200 cm at St Kilda, Hampson, Shaun 20110021.03.88 from Carlton,Laycock at Essendon(however injured alot) to name a few more.Charman from Brisbane is my choice- tough and will give our young one's confidence.

So we trade a first round pick for an underperforming, ordinary injury ridden ruck from Essendon? Doh! Dont we already have 3 injury struck ruckman on our list at the moment?

If we have Jamar as the No 1 ruckman why would we punt our first round pick on a 28 year old injury riddled ruckman from Brisbane who has not an effective role there for 2 years and is unlikely to overcome Clark and Leuey. And if we are playing Jamar and have Charman as No 2 back up ruck then how does it give the young players confidence when it snuffs their opportunity. :wacko:

And if Charman is not competing for that role and is at Casey, I could not think a bigger waste of your first round pick.

Its the lopsided same value proposition as swapping Trengove at year end for a 4th round pick.

...I think we should trade pick 14 for Cameron Wood. He will be a critical part of our next premiership tilt because Lauren Jackson- I mean, Josh Fraser can't carry the ruck for us...

Wow!

What happened??!

I blacked out for a second there...

Rhino, don't you think our list is at a stage now where we should be using the draft to fill holes in our list?? The best available youngster may very well be another midfielder. Do we really need to add to our midfield?? I think we need to be looking out for the best available KPF or ruckman, and if that means trading for one then it's probably a viable option

No you "fill your holes" via the trade table - then you always draft "best available" - depending where you think you are in the cycle.

Seems like the generally accepted universal theory that most clubs subscribe too.

However, must confess we are entering into "un-chartered waters" with the introduction of two new teams - very hard to predict their impact with the concessions they have been given.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
