Thinking particularly of our midfield needs ...

Ignoring the ridiculous like club captains Hodge, Watson and Van Berlo

The highly improbable like Mitchell, Thomas, Corey and Wells

The most interesting players in that list are Colin Sylvia, daylight second, Xavier Ellis

There's a few names there I'd love to see us make a play for. There's a few A-grade small forwards there (LeCras, Betts, Milne), which a position we need to fill.

Why? what you don't like Blease, Kent, Davey, Byrnes, Magner..Jetta in a pinch

Milne is 33 this year isn't he, Le Cras has had a very serious injury, if Betts leaves Carlton I would be very surprised

I'd like to see Blease play further up the ground, perhaps on the wing or as a half forward. I don't know much about Kent; I live out of the country so haven't seen him training. Davey and Byrnes won't be around when we're (hopefully) challenging. Magner is not a forward pocket; he played there a couple of times last year, with, IMO, no success. Jetta is better utilized as a small defender.

If he can get through this season, I would be more than happy to see the Dees take a punt at LeCras. I'd be surprised if he left West Coast, just as I'd be surprised in Betts left Carlton, but I'd be happy to have either in red and blue. I didn't realize Milne's age.

Anyway...just trying to generate some discussion; I'm getting tired of visiting the "Tanking" thread.

Magner had his first pre season last year and a shortened one, he has increased his endurance and looks faster, would not surprise me to see Neeld using him up forward

As for Le Cras it seems strangely quiet, maybe one of the Dees in the west can post what he is up to, been nearly a year since he did his knee, doesn't get a namecheck on any of the latest stories on their website....strange

Agree with Blease but that will be in a year or two, needs at least another pre season

Jetta is very versatile, will show this year, can play there if need be

Kent by the way from what I have seen is as fast as Blease, just starting out though, but has a fair rig on him as well, under the radar at the moment

Barry might get a go up there as well

17 clubs will see Sylvia as the perfect target

Theres not a club in the AFL that would pay Sylvia 400,000 a season, if he leaves he takes a pay cut.

Neeld and Brown will definitely put an offer to Dale Thomas, we would be crazy not to. Nathan Van Berlo will probably not leave Adelaide but we should offer him big money and see what happens. Xavier Ellis may be worth a look but the rest are either fanciful or not what we require I think. The other one worth making an offer on might be Adam Selwood.

Simon black and lenny hayes. Two players we should go for. yes I know they are late in there career but im hoping we pick up another gun midfieder in the draft with our first pick. Could you imagine the experience and much needed improvement if we had one of this guys showing toumpas, viney, kent, taggert how its done.

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
