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

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

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...

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

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
