A leader to get behind

After yesterdays loss, Bailey will be gone.. If not this week, it will be in five weeks time. I have been a fan of him, but its not working and we will cut our losses.

That solves one problem, but I believe a leader from outside will help us progress into a decent team.

Like Judd did for the blues, who can we get into our club? In that age bracket of 24 - 28ish-29?

I would be throwing big money at one of these guys and trying to get them into our club for the leadership and give our younger mids someone to build around and learn from.

1. J.Bartel

2. S.Pendlebury

3. S.Mitchell

4. B.Goddard

5. M.Boyd

6. B.Sewell

7. M.Priddis

8. R.OKeefe

Any other ideas?

    None of them will leave their clubs to join us. Ironically, Sewell wanted to come to the Dees several years ago in a proposed transfer with Ryan Ferguson. Great decision that one.

    Blame Ferguson for turning it down.

    Priddis? Really? My god. Pendles is the only one of those I'd go after.

    We could go after as many of them as we wanted.

    If we don't play with a modicum of effort, which of them is going to want to join us?

    I hope that snipe was aimed at Ferguson, because he's the reason the deal didn't go through. Since Ferguson was contracted he had to assent to the trade; he didn't.

    The idea is right given our problem with mature onground leaders. By their nature and standing within their clubs, they are not available at almost any price.

    But if you could, then;

    Jonathon Brown

    Joel Selwood

    Matthew Pavlic

    My God Nothing AF - Take your blinkers off

    PRIDDIS would be an awesome get.

    Suggest you watch just one West Coast game this season & you should get it.

    He gets & uses very well the one thing we hardly get.

    The Ball.

    Would be hard to shift from WC but definately the right sort of player we need.

    I've watched a couple of Eagles games this year and if I was going out there to throw money at an elite player, with leadership, it wouldn't be Priddis.

    • 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.
