would you be happy that instead of chasing Daisy Thomas (which would be a long shot) to pay overs for Dom Tyson and try to lure Taylor Adams

    Who we assemble off field will be far more important than any far fetched what ifs on field.

    I would be happy if the MFC actual won more then 14 games in a season.

    absolutely... i'm not truly convinced on daisy & his health as well. I'd rather an older mature player from the Cats & the Hawks... not convinced by the pies culture either.

    I would love to get those 2 over the line, & would consider blease packaged with watts & a pick,,, or + another mature player.

    Absolutely, we'd have to pay 900k to get thomas, i'd rather offer them 450 k each for 5 years and lure them back to vic.

    and to satisfy the trade, Jack watts, Mark Jamar and pick 21?

    Tyson signed back on with them, my hope is Aish with pick 2, PP at 3 for an established player, trade Watts to Carlton for pick 9 and swap that pick to GWS for Taylor Adams.

    Hogan is the next Carey!! And in not talking about Peter!

    Watts to Carlton for pick 9? If its clear Watts is not committed to MFC where do we sign? Carlton could not be that silly...well they did cough pick 12 for McLean..

    I've got a feeling they would need a bit more for Adams. Watched him today and is the antithesis of Jacky boy. Relentless.

    They would want to say yes to coming to us first..

    At this point, I'd be happy if we won more than 4 games in a season.

    I'd be reluctant to trade Watts. But i'd be very happy to drop pick 21 and Jamar.

    I think everyone agrees with that?

    I'm not convinced that i'd want to get rid of Jack Watts. With pick 9 though, i'd definitely trade pick 9 for Dom Tyson and there second round pick? (with GWS)

    They would want to say yes to coming to us first..

    Well, Tyson isnt getting a game at GWS and i am convinced that he will be a star!

    Adams doesnt want to sign at this stage, so clearly he wants out.

    THOMAS cost too much,breakdown a lot and we would turn him into crap.Adams o.k

    Get CRIPPS and SHEEDS from WA as they are tough. M.JONES,C.SYLVIA, and J.McKENZIE to go.

    N.JONES,TRENGOVE forward line,GRIMES defence,FITZY wing.EVANS,KENT with more training as possible mids.

    Our midfield except viney where truly shown up against FREO.

    I am still having a laugh at the dude who said I am glad you do not pick the side...we lost to the KANGAS by 20 goals.

    EADE has been interviewed by the Dees,why go any further.Nothing like suspense.

    I cant believe you just rate Adams as ok, yet you're wanting to pick up players who havent played

    I would be happy if I turned up to the football and saw a game that wasn't all over by three quarter time.

    I will be happy when i have a football club that gives its supporters value for money and decides to answer members questions at the yearly AGM.

    Would be happy with that though I feel they may want pick 9 for Daisy and give us Yarren for Watts. I personally don't want Yarren. Interesting trade period ahead.

    either they offer us pick 9 or we trade him to gws for pick 10

    Pick 11 if my memory serves me correctly.

    Still managed to stuff it up though, given that we should've picked Lewis Jetta, Talia or Bastinac (or, to be fair, Tapscott - pick 18) with that pick.

    But our own brand of professional recruiters obviously knew more that the Emma Quayles of the world.

    And that's why it's especially gut wrenching to see Richmond and North right now.

    I feel like shooting myself.

    If dont get at least three or four top quality mids, we will have another pathetic year.

    Ron, put the gun down.....

    The trade was good. What we did with the pick was diabolical I agree.

    Strap yourself in for another year slightly less promising than the last.

    Not if we manage to lure some good on ball talent, if we dont however then i agree with you.

    • 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.
