Been alot of threads about 'who would you prefer' so I thought I should make one which addresses all of the options and with a poll.

    Swallow for me! May have been a little quiet this year, but he will be a gun no doubt!!

    Swallow. I'd take Adams second.

    Swallows year in the VFL was something special, i feel his best form would trump the best of anyone else on the list and his worse would still trump most of our list.

    I'm someone else!

    Sloane for me... Will be better than any others mentioned!

    Yeah exactly i think he is a great quality mid IMO

    Swallow. Was touted as being capable of being the best player of all time.

    Martin and Adams are huge risks as both have perceived poor characters.

    Swallow or Adams

    Definitely not Aish - we need to face it - we can't develop players (name one high draft pick we have developed successfully).

    I know development might be better under Roos but still we should get some young semi developed players like Swallow and Adams (then by the end of 2014 we will have a decent culture to develop players in)

    - Sloane the pick of the bunch in terms of current ability and character. Perhaps the most unrealistic though

    - Martin on raw potential, poses the biggest risk though

    - Swallow will be a gun.

    If all were attainable easily enough, I'd go:

    1. Sloane

    2. Martin

    3. Swallow

    4. Other (Gaff, Daisy)

    5. Adams

    6. Aish

    Aish at a bit of a disadvantage in this scenario as he hasn't even hit the scene yet, but may be the best of the lot?

    Here is a comparison of Sloane and Martin on Footywire:

    Pretty intreresting

    Very interesting reading. I am a huge Sloane fan but would have thought that Martin was well ahead on many of those stats. However, I reckon Sloane emerges from this comparison with a much better overall position. The tackles, marking and contested possession favour Sloane with some strength.

    I am always sceptical of stats - I don't really read too much into them. Good for a rough comparison though.

    Spot on. Effective disposals was also a surprise for me.

    I think Sloane, Gaff, Selwood and Shuey are unrealistic. Adams, Swallow, Martin and obviously the draftees are all potentially obtainable.

    My order would be:

    Swallow

    Adams

    Aish/Freeman/Kelly/Sheed

    Martin

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
