Which one should we really make a play for during the off season?

    would one swallow make a summer?

    Swallow is my choice. We need an instant lift to our midfield and he is bordering on A grade currently, probably running at A-. With Swallow, Jones, Trengove and the developing Viney and Kent, it means we have the physical capacity to stay in and around the contested ball or stoppages and not be instantly pushed aside. An Swallow is a renowned defensive spread player and this is our major midfield weakness. How many times have we seen 2 - 3 opposition players running forward of the stoppage and only 1 demon defender chasing?

    My preference:

    1. Swallow

    2. Sloan

    3. Adams

    I don't know. Does Adams Swallow?

    A statement like this has been begging for some time - congrats Choko - you are the first who could not resist the temptation!

    Aren't their doubts over Swallows knees holding up to run in the midfield ? Not sure about any Adams downside ...

    You'd think that we would do a thorough assessment of his knees before we moved on him.

    He was supposed to be an absolute gun when he was recruited, dare I say it, a generational player.

    Swallow hands down! Adams is good although at times a little overrated.

    I see Adams as the Josh Caddy of last year, he is potentially available so everyone from every club want him, therefore he must be insanely good...

    Would one swallow make a relationship?

    Both, plus Conca and Sloane.....biggest player coup since Barrassi went to North.

    They will follow the great man.

    He's superior to Josh Caddy.

    Adams is actually able to find the footy where as even when Caddy was at Gold Coast and much hyped he struggled to find the footy.

    I am of the belief that Adams is a way better pickup

    It depends on what you have to pay.

    All things being equal the answer is Swallow, but that doesn't inhibit my thoughts on Adams, who I'd also love to get.

    Getting both would be a cunning stunt.

    I bet miss Upton has a stunning... personality.

    I'd prefer Swallow, but based on draft position and development, he would cost far more than Adams.

    Pick 2 for Adams and pick 10 is more appealing than Swallow for pick 2

    We can't put all our eggs in the basket of a young-ish midfielder. We're better off getting 2-3 young prospects such as Adams and a Freeman/Bontempelli in the draft rather than just swallow

    Although Pick 2 and 21 for Swallow and pick 8 is very appealing

    Or instead aren't there?

    Swallow has the upside to become a genuine elite mid like his brother, when he was drafted most recruiters thought he would be even better than his brother, hence selection at pick 1

    Adams looks a good player but not sure he has as much improvement in him as Swallow

    would be thrilled if we somehow got both.

    • 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.
