Trading and Drafting

You know,

I have been watching these topics and posts about trading and drafting players from other teams.

What has come to my attention is it seems that the same people that are always saying what kind of players we need are the same ones saying no to every single player someone else suggests. Now everyone is entitled to their opinion obviously but seriously there has to be one single player people like who we need.

I in my opinion believe we should target Jesse White and target him hard. He is young so obviously hasnt been dominating the competition yet but he will be a star. Players like that don't come along very often.

If not then well (cue bashing) We need to go after Travis Cloke. See if we can give him a contract offer that appeals to him. Best and fairest winner, still young and has all the qualities that we as a team currently lack up forward. I dont care if he needs to work on his kicking, Jack Riewoldt needed to aswell and look what he did.

No disrespect Demon_Tingles but I'm moving this thread to the Trading and Drafting Forum Board.

Cheers,

Well Cloke is out of contract unless you have been living under a rock you would know that so if he goes to draft we can draft him .... seriously did you just ask that?

Not sure about White think hes out of contract too but i may be mistaken.

White is signed with Sydney through 2012.

Cloke's not going anywhere, his pinhead father just thinks he's a good negotiator and Collingwood are shaking in their boots over his ludicrous threat to enter the draft.

I can assure you of two things: 1) They're not, and 2) He won't.

Even if Cloke goes to the draft, GC17 still have more picks than the Seven Dwarves. They would certainly take him before pick 12.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • 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.
