Who should we pick up?

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.......

Wellingham - Collingwood or West Coast

Knights - Richmond

Pearce - Port

Goddard - St Kilda, Freo maybe outside chance Carlton

Byrnes - VFL

Gumbleton - Essendon, maybe Freo

Edwards - who cares

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.

yeah but quite honestly players come to clubs because the club is going for finals and a premiership, lets be honest.. we arent one yet

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?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
