They can do that over the next 2 seasons though can't they meaning they could get O'Meara next year, but will have to give off all 4 x 17 year old picks the following year?

If they choose to take the picks/trades/players - whatever the choice is, then the team offering those picks gets to choose from the list of the 17 year olds who put their hands up to be drafted. O'Meara is the 1st choice of all clubs, so there is no way GWS would get him Billy.

    Just reread your post Billy and you said they wont trade any 17 year olds this year to keep O'Meara. I guess that could happen but having listened to them it sounds as though they want to trade 2 this year and 2 next year to try and get more from the competing clubs.

    Thoughts on offering one of compensation picks, the one which is dirtectly after your 1st pick, so that when gws finish last next year they get picks 1 and 2.. we still get 1 compo pick and omeara?

    FMD - for the 1000th time - the pick stays after the original club's pick

    Try 2013...even though the 17 y/o's get auctioned this year, they can't play until the year after..Viney is also not eligible until 2013.

    Makes me wonder if any of the payments, for the 17 year olds next year, are in the salary cap? is it possible to front load a massive long term contract, without effecting the salary cap?

    With the recent news the AFL has stopped the GWS twist in it's tracks, O'Meara could be back on the Agenda.

    He is more of what we lack than Crouch.

    I hope we get one of these boys, and after that a Docherty type.

    he will complement viney really well and set our midfield up for a decade! Along with mckenzie, JT and Gys...that will be a midfield you can see winnig a flag!

    Yep, I think we need to get the classiest Mid, with the step to step through traffic and still able to hit targets under extreme pressure.

    I was put off by the cost, but in seeing the footages of both Crouch and O'Meara, I now agree & think we should now Go hard to get O'Meara.

    O'Meara is a class above... the way he weaves through traffic is incredible to watch, could watch that highlight tape for ages personally. He will be expensive but he looks genuine.

    Crouch will be nice but he is more of the HBF type i think, can definately play in the middle though, it is his kicking that puts him the back half though, something we always say we need, someone who can kick through trafficin the back half and hit targets out of the defensive 50, so the ball doesnt just come straight back in.

    O'Mear looks better but i would take them both...if only :)

    I was put off with crouches quick but unclean handballs that got to target but made the reciever fumble about for the ball a fair bit. His kicking seemed to at least find targets in advantage, but how pinpoint I'm still not sure.

    But he's busy like Swan & reminds me of his game a bit.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
