.

some are sounding like they want to offer the world up for a quick 'about turn'.

Should patience & class be the way forward?

Or should we chuck it in & take a quick fix?

I know what I think.

please keep it largely to a poll & post in the existing P3 & P4 threads.

    The 3rd and 4th best young draftees available as ranked by our recruiting staff. No compromises, no deals unless for top-drawer A-grade talent.

    3 Wines 4 Hogan and Viney at 24(?)

    Pick 13 I'd like to see Stringer and I hope we don't trade it.

    I'd say if there were some serious talent/experience on the table in the form of a top line midfielder, use pick 4 on that. But seeing as there probably won't be, my preferred result would be Toumpas at 3 and Hogan/Martin (MD) for 4. Pick 13 definitely Stringer if he is available. Failing that, Kennedy or Wines.

    the strategy has to be to use high draft picks to take the BEST talent available. It doesnt matter if a club takes too many of one type. Quality players can be used as currency in later years in trade negotiations where a club can use excess talent to trade for a 'need'. MFC, scoop up as much young talent as possible please.

    I will call it now but MFC have done a deal to get caddy and on send pick 4 to GCS and hence let viney slip to pick 20 something. It's what they call a win/win

    I was all for trading pick 3 or 4 for an A-grader with the right fit early on and with trade week starting Monday I' m still open to it.

    The reality is however that no one of note and in their right mind would be willing to be traded to us.

    This leaves me with only wanting 2012 draftees.

    The mini draft doesn't sit too well with me. These kids are over 18 months away from having any impact for us and we need all the help we can get right now. The variables associated with getting a 17yo kid who has been projected as a top line pick 12 months out from the next draft seem too great to say the least.

    Recruit now and for the love of God recruit well!!

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
