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

I actually think we will be on the improve. My sports psychiatrist just suggested to me that if I take small steps I won't be back in the fetal position pre April, nappy on and dummy in mouth.

 

But that's enough about my private life. Let's talk footy.

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

Love your guitar work PH but really this is Melbourne, the chances of Hogan being what we would all hope he could be is a million to one. But yes let's hope.

 

So you're saying we're a chance! Yes!

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

Get prepared then.

A Chance, yes but as always if we are getting only 30 odd inside fifties and most of those are up and under floaters from the wing I don't think even Wayne Carey would have an impact. But we live in hope of drafting some mids and maybe even a mid field coach who has our group working together intelligently. Big ask I know.

Hood, I hope you are right. But you need help such is your level of dangerous optimism.

we had better go out and get 2 legit gun young midfielders in the draft-trade period

David Swallow an Taylor Adams would be just fine

Pay overs if we have to, i dont care anymore just give us a legit midfield

We'd get a lot more inside 50's with a second target besides Dawes who can actually present on the lead as well as another forward who can effectively apply forward pressure. Sure the midfield is rubbish but the forward create a lot of problems for themselves!

Get prepared then.

Oh believe me, the days of any sort of optimism in regards to Melbourne are well and truly over.

Only when i see something happening with my own eyes will i believe.


Hood, I hope you are right. But you need help such is your level of dangerous optimism.

But tell me then when will "return to glory"? I am not getting any younger.

Honestly Hood, with all jokes aside I would hope that we could have 6 wins and aim to decrease our losing margin against the sides we lost to this year.

And if I'm pipe dreaming, one win interstate.

Even if its a practice match in [censored] Ceduna

And if I'm pipe dreaming, one win interstate.

Let it be against the Shockers!

I really hate those guys.

RTG I agree if we get some help from the AFL Commission and get a priority pick which may be number 3 to go with our number 2 or it may be mid or late first rounder and we trade out a player for a second rounder that would give us four shots at some mid field talent. This could set us up for 6 to 8 wins.

I think our chances of luring a free agent or two of any talent are very limited. Who would want to come to us really? That is what will slow our development down. In the meantime the top clubs will continue to pick the eyes out of the free agent talent pool to fill roles neded for their premiership tilts. In this way we and the other battling Victorian clubs will always be playing catchup. The AFl needs to start thinking seriously about equalisation policies.

I love how people are saying they would be happy to pay overs to get these gun young players and go offering blokes like Jamar, Blease, and Watts.

A washed up ruckman, a NQR, and a pea heart are not "paying overs".

David Swallow is someone we should seriously go after in my opinion. He is the bull and freak that Melbourne need. It's almost as if he hasnt fitted in their midfield with O'meara, Martin, Ablett and Prestia.

Taylor Adams seems like he wants to leave, so we should try to snap him up

IMO i'd be happy if we could snare just one of them, realistically

No problems at all chasing Dom Tyson and Taylor Adams but surely we can do it via a good package for Taylor and use our priority pick (if it materialises) for Dom. The idea that we have [or want to] offload Watts is a very short-sighted view. If he is worth something substantial as a trade then surely he is worth even more to keep within our structure.


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

Three Quarter Time ??? Try half time.. :blink:

I believe the AFL is set to announce the 2014 fixture at a press conference today with Essendon drawn to play a mid afternoon game on a Wednesday at Port Moresby. We're the likely opponent.

Would that do?

As Long as we can book and go by boat... Just saying.. lol

As Long as we can book and go by boat... Just saying.. lol

Wont happen must "stop the boats"
 

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

I'd B very 'appy, if we went after Taylor Adams & Hurry TFU about it, before the Tigers Nab him in a deal...

... also, lets Go fishing big time, to land a goodUn with a Gaff... a lively runner if ever I saw 1...

Gaff would be an amazing inclusion to the club.

Gaff, Adams, Swallow and Tyson... wow, what a club we'd be building.

But realistically if we get 2 i'd do backflips

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
