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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory.
