Personally I'm happy to just go through the draft, we can look at all our needs through there. Use our first 2 picks (shallow draft) on the best young talent around. Preferably a line breaking midfielder/defender & an elusive goal sneak/HFF. And then use a later picks on the likes of Fevola & Myles Sewell. A KPF & a good sized midfielder who's great at the clearances & can play a run with role.

Only trades I'd make would be to clear out players in contract like Bate, just take a low pick for him we wont need to use. Or for a GWS 17 year old, like Morton & pick 12 for O'Merra or Kennedy who wouldn't play till 2013 anyway.

Interested to see what other people think would be the best way to go.

Edit: When O'Merra or Kennedy could start.

    I took the draft AND trade option as Warnock has already stated he wants to be traded meaning we will be involved in trade week at least to some degree.

    I believe we should approach the draft and trade period with an open mind. In the trade period with some players wanting to leave (maybe) we should see which deal appeals most to benefit the MFC club. In saying that I do believe MFC need to chase some hard bodies around the midfield eg.(dangerfield) and also a strong KPF eg.(dawes), otherwise i believe our team balance will be too light!! If the pick is more appealing than the player obviously take the pick.

    very excited about this period coming up!! :))

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
