Everything I've seen of this kid he looks like a player who can play as a key position forward for a decade from 2014 onwards.

There's no doubt in my mind that the deal was done to allow Viney to slide to #26, GWS to get the first three picks in total, and gc and Melbourne to get the two best available 17 year old selections.

Wines will be selected #4 - in truth, we may have used the pick on him had we been forced to select Viney with the previous pick.

I see these deals as win - win - win for all three clubs involved.

The likelihood is we will be bottom 5 next year, giving another opportunity to add another quality player to our list - the equivalent of 2 top 5 picks ready for 2014.

We will likely not be a finals side until at least 2015 in my opinion - horrifying, I know - but by that stage the guy we are looking at as our prime key forward will have had three years in the system.

im always a bit wary of picking WA kids, theres a huge go home factor for perth kids. adelaide kids seem stoked to get out of that shithole but perth kids seem to love going home.

Love to know what Neelds questions were... And the answers

Question 1 : Does your father harbour ambitions to be an AFL recruiter?

Question 2 : What is the difference between $100,000 and $1,000,000

answer = zero

does anyone know over the last 10 years, how many kids have been drafted from WA? and of those kids, how many ended up going home? i imagine it would be a fairly low percentage. Hogan nominated for the mini-draft, knowing that West Coast and Freo would be extremely unlikely to get him. i don't think we have any problems. and for what its worth, i love the fact that we drafted him. i think he is going to be a superstar of the competition, which we haven't had for a long, long time.

Someone please tell me he is coming to Melbourne next year to train and develop in Casey. Because if not that is a massive loss for us.

melbourne melbourne have said that he will be over with us to train for the whole year, so he will have a massive advantage over all other draftees that year :)

MFCSS is rife in this thread

"Oh noes we paid overs"

"Oh noes he will end up leaving for home"

"Oh noes he can't kick"

FFS, he hasn't even set foot at the club yet and already some are fretting and criticizing him?

Get a life people!

This "he might go home" fear is really nauseating. Do you think Hawthorn fans pizzed and moaned that Buddy might return to WA when they drafted him? No way. Why? Because they're a strong club with a successful outlook, confident that their best players will never want to leave.

This is the way we at the MFC must think.

Ok, to me. This is ironic. Not because you are wrong, because you are right. But because I wrote similar sentiments last year...

Remember this kid is only 17! He's a year behind the kids we're usually looking at, at this time of year. what other 17 year old is 197cmish and 100kg? Thats unreal! he's that big, and still incredibly fast, with a lot more development in him to go. I'm not complaining.

Don't worry Munga. He seems very keen to play with Melbourne and is a Melbourne supporter.

Jesse Hogan supported Adelaide as a kid. Confusion has spawned from a Tweet Emma Quayle made regarding The Age journalist who shares his name with our latest acquisition and is a fanatical MFC supporter.

I remember them well!

Difference is RR has written 'this is how MFC should think"

where as yours were more like. "we are the MFC, We hold on to our best young talent" - a little more matter of fact but same sentiment

It was a sentiment.

I may be powerful, but I can't see the future...

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
