Assuming we gain a priority pick and we have picks 2 and 3 do we put 1 pick on the table for a gun afl midfielder like Dale Thomas or do we put both pcks on the table since we are in desperate need of 2 gun AFL mids???

Fall on the floor laughing until I have to be carted off to hospital.

If we get a pick there's no moral way it can be at the top of the first round. I'll take it if they're offering but the other clubs should hold a protest rally if we get a pick anywhere before #19 or #20.


If we get a PP we will need to batten down the hatches and the recruiters will have the biggest amount of stress on them and massive targets on them if they get it wrong.

The word is Piority....that means we go before !!. But I can see where the question is before what.?

In a dream world itr would be before round 1...so we might well end up with 1/2 or 1/3

but we might be run out of town for that combo. therefore 19 seems a political compromise.

But then again, it is the AFL and they make it up as they go along...so wtf knows ...lol

again..just say thankyou for its a freebie..a bone for the dog.....woof !!

Good point. This is why I think assistance will be in the form of mini draft or some other help. I'm not sure pick 19 will help us get anyone who will impact (although it may allow us to trade pick 2 for such a player and still draft a good young prospect).

anyone else think we will finish dead last ?

the logicist in me thins that here we have the AFL in its usual place de norm....sh!t-central.

In order do deliver to its problem child whilst placating the rabble it must deliver a solution that provides whilst seemingly within precedents.

A mini draft fulfills all of this. It provides an opportunity for us and at the same time ought to really disadvantages no one...not toooo much,not if you allow for "things"

I hope the powers that be, that is OURS, realise this is the closet thing to a last dip for salvation that will ever come our way. [censored] this up, and we might as well all wander off.

yep... the caveat being if Neeld is still at the helm when we meet the giants..we lose that we're bottom

anyone else think we will finish dead last ?

By the tone of the thread I think most of us think we will...

I don't think we'll get a PP but if we do I think it will be at the middle to end of the first round, I don't really care about time we stopped worrying about picks to get us out of our problems


I'm a big believer in trade them if the right offer is there. Patty D or 2 of the GC boys

If we actually in some way managed to pick up Patty Dangerfield in a trade I would wet my pants with excitement.

In regards to the priority pick, I agree with Supermercado - there is no way we'd deserve a pick in the first round and the other clubs would (fairly) spit chips.

We're not getting Danger, we should get Adams if the price is reasonable.

Of course not, is he even out of contract? Adams we should definitely have a crack at.

James Aish should be one.... Then trade the other....


If we get a pick at the start of the first round trade it to the dogs for Ryan Griffin. They need a forward for the future and Griffin is better than Thomas. They could then get Thomas boyd who we probably won't need with hogan on the list next season.

Not even worth contemplating. We will not get any player in the next 2-3 years of this quality in a trade.

 

Pray we don't stuff it up again!

Trade Kennett to Collingwood for Eddie McGuire, he is out of contract.

  • 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.
