For our 4th round pick at the upcoming draft I reckon we should look for a crumbing forward who can also get a bit of the ball and that leads me to Michaliades from Sandringham Zebras.

The stats there don't take into account what he's done this year which is 14 goals in 11 games, averaging a tick over 7 kicks & 8 handballs a game. So for his current short career he's kicked 20 goals in 25 games.

This guy knows where the goals are and if anyone watched the state game VFL v WAFL this year you would have seen him kick 2 very classy crumbing goals.

I'd use our 4th round pick to secure him and not a rookie pick given we certainly lack small forwards and neither Byrnes or Davey are setting the world on fire at the moment so he could puch for selection early if he's on the list. Curious as to other peoples thoughts on him are that have seen him go arounf in the VFL.

    Davey was going pretty good, Byrnes might have some hope under Roos, and i would stick with Kent over this guy.

    I am not sure that we still have a fourth-round poick now that we have signed up Cross. At present we have picks 9, 40 & 57 unless we do another round of de-listings.

    Therefore the problem is simple. Jetta and Nicholson I have read, are our only 2 uncontracted players. If we think we can pick better, they go if not they stay.

    We don't have a second round pick, we have 3rd and 4th round picks - that is what TD is talking about.

    We also do not have a 5th round pick so if we were to delist another player and pick a replacement it would be with Pick 94 in the ND (this would end up being about the 75th live pick if used).

    I don't think we will take more than 3 in the ND. Maybe delist one either Nicholson of Jetta to use in the PSD or DFA. Maybe.

    As has been stated in other threads.

    Roos will not recruit a small forward unless he has another string in his bow.

    He must be able to play midfield.

    We already have Evans who would be ideal as a FP rotating through the midfield.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
