THE 4 DRAFT PICKS WE HAVE

You'd imagine the other teams involved would insist on having the paperwork drawn up, signed and dated as within the trade period, before agreeing to not nominate Viney.

That'd be the smart thing to do on their behalves.

Of course, they could also agree to this deal, then either party has a change of heart and pulls the rug out from under us.

Thats not allowed, if anything is drawn up and signed before trade period then its against regulation.

And if they break the deal, then they lose there #1 and #3 draft pick as it would need to be broken in the bidding.

    GWS can be bought out with a dozen meat pies for phil, won't be an issue

    GC are more sensible and wouldn't risk high for a small reward

    Well if the ladder stays in the same position that it is now then we'd end up with picks 2, 3, 13 & 25.

    We could end up going:

    2. Jake Stringer

    3. Jimmy Toumpas

    13. Dayle Garlett

    25. Jack Viney

    2 quality mids, a Goddard clone & small crumbing forward. Everything we're looking for and we wouldn't even need to trade for it!

    This would be a perfect draft this stage, exactly the players I want , maybe O' Rourke from the Calder cannons instead of Garlett , if we finished 2nd bottom, which is every chance , getting jack viney for a second rounder would be on the cards ! GWS wouldn't risk giving up Whitfield !

    We will be forced to take viney with our early pick. Everyone knows we are committed to him

    Hi guys, I'm not sure if the following has been mentioned before but I believe the club has its sights firmly on 2 Victorians currently interstate. Someone would have to confirm if the following players are out of contract at seasons end. I'm speaking of McKay from the crows and Dion Prestia. Prestia's father is apparently a keen Melbourne supporter who donates fruit annually to the club from his business. We have the power to trade with their clubs and they would add what our midfield is lacking. Pace, poise and class.

    I like Prestia, reminds me of Montagna. If that's true maybe a trade of our first 1st round compensation pick plus Moloney or Sylvia for Prestia and an agreement they wont nominate Viney?

    McKay's not a bad player, but I wouldn't move heaven and earth to get him. 2nd round pick max!

    I like the added infuse of an Irish name, hopefully Attitude of toughness to go with it, IF he's as good as those around him. We Need IMO, some more Irish Dander.

    Stop it!

    Too early for this conversation. You'll have the 't' word up and running. (And we MUST load up on midfielders with pace and the ability to use it.)

    looking at our current form it is impossible to tank.

    We have 4 early picks. We need to hit 2 really good midfielders in those 4 picks, which includes Viney.

    Our midfield, or lack of, is killing us. We need players that can win contested footy and spread really hard into space. We have a great opportubity to do so, and (at this stage) I would be picking 4 midfielders.

    Absolutely spot on DC. I'm sick of watching dumb footballers running around in red and blue.

    • 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.
