what's with all the Caddy love??? Seriously, he is doing stuff all in pretty much all of his games. He is definately not worth a first round pick the way he has played in his games to date. Massively

That's a big 'apart from'... He's our best player. We recruited our best player. That says two things - we can recruit good players, and we don't have many good players...

Mate, you don't give up pick 4 for two averages players. You wouldn't do it for five average players.

Welling ham, Knights, Pearce,Goddard,Byrnes, Gumbleton and Edwards will do me.

Realistically I'd be rapt if we could snare a couple of these, because the young kids we draft with 3 and 4 are gonna be good...and then there's Viney.

Free agency and player trades should hopefully get us a decent crop of ready made players next year.......

Pearce - Port

Goddard - St Kilda, Freo maybe outside chance Carlton

Byrnes - VFL

Gumbleton - Essendon, maybe Freo

yeah sure you can say that and thats fair, but that is probably because we havent made offers as of yet.

realistically we can get Wellingham, Brynes, wed need to make a good offer for Knights, Edwards is crap so is Gumby.

I just think Melbourne is not a attractive destination for Sharrod - but hell I hope I'm wrong. Brynes just does not excite me I honestly would rather stick fat with Davey and plan to play Viney in the pocket.

Injury prone - Knights no thank you, Gumbleton walking wreck but if it happened so be it, Edwards ditto Gumby

Goddard & (Cloke) - sorry to say just dont think we are a realistic chance. But again hope Im wrong

you make good points, very intelligent.

Melbourne isnt an attractive destination, but you can make it attractive with picks and $

Brynes doesnt excite me either.

Gumby and Edwards are horrible

I 100% agree with you I think thats exactly what we have to do. We need to make our club an attractive destination, if we have to pay some overs for a few "ready to go players" well I'm all for it.

Club might be attractive now - the no bs approach taken by Neeld would definitely be resonating with others outside the club.

How would others know the finer detail and why the hell would they care?

Ohhh i think its one of those things that is just "known", that Neeld is a tough guy and clearly did a very very good job with the Collingwood membership

Kane Mitchell won the Sandover last night with a record number of votes. (same number as Priddis before he was finally drafted).

Would be happy to get either of Mitchell or Blackwell with a late draft selection or rookie pick

Can we shout this loud enough for AAMI MFC recruiters to here. Have watched both these guys for Claremont and they are AFL standard.

Mitchell has the endurance and 2nd efforts that we need. Blackwell's skill and ball use would be essential for our midfield.

Our weapons

  1. Nathan Jones grunt and desire for the footy
  2. Sam Blease’s pace and goalability
  3. James Frawley’s pace and half back run (we need to free him up)
  4. Howe’s aerial marking
  5. Mitch Clark fwd presence (get fit and back on track)
  6. Jack Grimes run and create
  7. Jordie Mckenzie’s lock down role
  8. Colin Sylvia’s class and ability to go mid/fwd
  9. Tapscott’s toughness
  10. Tommy Macdonald’s strength across the backline

Watts & Trengove class and potential

Add Jack Viney to Nathan Jones’ grunt in the middle

What we need

  1. A star, top 10 in the league A player capable of 30+ possessions
  2. CHF … big and strong
  3. A quarterback, to setup with elite kicking
  4. A pacy left footer wingman, with goal kicking ability
  5. A fwd crumber
  6. A good ruckman, agile

B: Nicolson Sellar Garland/Rivers/Dunn

Hb: (Qtrback) T McD Frawley

C: (Winger) (High possess mid) Grimes

HF: Blease (CHF) Sylvia

Fwds: (crumbing fwd) Clark Howe

R: (Ruckman) Viney Jones

Int: Tapscott, Watts, Mckenzie, Trengove

Like Mitchell but would put Mark HUTCHINGS from West Perth in front of Blackwell on 2012 performances

Well we are looking better than I thought we have picks 3.4,13,30is to get four of them. might snare one in the PSD - if we trade wisely you just never know. But I do like the make up of the team. I just hope we dont accept "2nd best" or a heap more speculative kids.

Winger might get away with Taggert - crumbing fwd might get away with Viney in his first year & seek another mid. Ruckmen would have thought one of Jamar, Gawn, Fitzy & Spencer might make the grade - Ruckmen are over valued look at Cox & Nic Nat got beat by a 30 yo.

Would be interesting putting names to the positions - then adding to those names - bit like a hit list - we will never get them all- might never get one.

Qtrback - Jacobs, Otten who else? Reckon Plowman is an outside chance in the draft.

Winger - Toumpas ready to go

Mids - Caddy, Stevens who else?

CHF - I got NFI

Crumbing forward - Viney lock it in Eddie

Depth?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
