Massively talented, but massively injury prone.

To be asking for a pay rise with his body is a bit rich imo. Maybe he's trying to force a move to the GC where they'd pay him 2 mil a year to sit up in the stands twiddling his thumbs all season.

I like the look of a few kids at pick 12 that could play the role he does..

Too early for us to be doin this sort of trade. Next year or the year after would be better for us to do a major trade.

If you saw Tim Harringtons whiteboard Wednesday a few weeks back you'd understand why. For the next year or two we are creating a massive gap in our salary cap that we can use to net a big fish. The longer we wait, the more we'll have to throw at said fish.

The other bonus of waiting is we'll have a better understanding of the gaps on our list that need filling after the kids have matured a bit.

I agree. I think we can address our need for a creative defender through the draft...

Drummond is just too injury prone and too expensive imo.

Pretty spot on. Although its always exciting getting a 'big fish', we are probably 1 or 2 seasons too early for this.

We are probably better off making finals once of twice, then see a gap in our list that we need to take us to a premiership and go hard.

This is what Collingwood did with Darren Jolly and Luke Ball, and it has been a huge success for them. At this point in time, we are still speculating a lot of what positions are set and who will make it and who won't. In 2 years time the picture will be much clearer

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • 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.
