Can someone list a few decent players from other clubs we should look at come seasons end prefs mids? I know Mitch Brown is uncontracted?

P.S. If Watts was to leave at seasons end we are far better off getting an establihed player on board rather than a draft pick as people suggest, because that would mean we lose another seasoned player and gain a kid who we have to put years into developing!!

    Over the next few years we can probably start picking off a few of the Gold Coast and GWS kids. They can't keep them all. Unfortunately every other club will have the same idea.

    I will spew if we trade Watts for a draft pick. Must be a quality player or no trade can be arranged.

    I would seriously entertain trading our first pick this year for a quality player.

    I know Mark LeCras is out of contract and I would make him a priority.

    I think Dal Santo and Harry Taylor are out of contract as well.

    Out of the free agents that we MAY have a chance of getting and IMO would be good for us, these would be my picks:

    Mark LeCras

    Eddie Betts

    Dale Thomas

    Nick Dal Santo

    Brent Guerra

    Nathan Van Berlo

    There's a few others that would be awesome ie: Franklin, Cox, Hodge, Mitchell, Scott Thompson, but don't think they're a chance to move clubs.

    If we get allocated a prioity pick fine im happy but seasoned players are a must! Alan Toovey would be a nice addition to our defence!

    Some are free agents, you don't trade for free agents, but totally agree on the pick. As I've said on another post a quality player or no trade, I would prefer to keep Jack but that will depend a lot on who is the coach.

    Whoever it is it must be mids mids mids. Inside mids. Next year we will have Clark, Dawes & Hogan up forward. Not much good though without anyone giving them the pill. Viney & Jones will be there. Toumpas, maybe Matt Jones outside mids but we need more senior mids.

    Mids 1st priority for sure, but also a small forward and maybe a ruckman.

    Van Berlo and Thomas would be great additions to our Midfield but i imagine we would have to pay significant $ to convince them to come here.

    Lance Franklin is one guy you know of.

    I dont care if he makes Scarface look like a straight-arse.

    Get him.

    There's a list here of the free agents:

    But I'd be interested to hear about decent players who are coming out of contract too.

    We might have a real shot with some of the Blues if things don't work out with Malthouse, especially as they are so close to the cap. Although they may not want come to us due to Neeld coming through the Malthouse system. That is not having a go at Neeld just the association.

    worth it, and mitch robinson yet to sign and young man with leg speed and agro

    Blues have 3 and on decent contracts.

    I am hoping Gawn and/or Spencer come on, but yeah a quality ruckman is paramount.

    I don't think he has leg speed to be honest, but he does have agro and does seem to lack fear. Not the best trooper off-field.

    There's a couple i don't mind Cox (Gawn + Cox could be something special, even if its for a couple of years), Selwood, Dal Santo and Cross would also be interesting.

    But all is useless until we can get some sort of credibility back into the club

    Seeing we've got Hogan, Clark, and Dawes, I'd much rather 2 star mids than 1 Lance Franklin.

    If he does leave the Hawks, GWS might price us out with some sort of concessional promotion bonus from the AFL.

    If your talking about Nathan Van Berlo we have no hope. He is the captain of the Crows. But yes I agree Dale Thomas would be a great get.

    Neil Craig at Melbourne and a pay rise might be worth considering, couldn't hurt to ask!

    hopefully Neeld and Brown can play a role in convincing Thomas to move down the road

    Put Lance on the Ball and let him bomb them from 75 out.Prob solved.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
