3. We need to look back and see Roos' history at the draft/trade.

How did he go about getting Richards, Shaw, Mattner, etc...? What did he let go to get them?

Players like Hanneberry, Luke Parker, Reid - what number were they drafted or were there other draft trades involved?

Offered Mumford money that Geelong couldn't match.

Gave Richards a chance to play regular football that Essendon didn't, same with Kennedy and McGlinn.

Gave Shaw a fresh start which he needed.

Drafted and developed some good kids.

Money and opportunity will be what we will be looking at. I don't think anything will come of a swap for pick 2 unless a club like Adelaide really want Aish, GC could also be interested as he is a Clayton type player.

Continue to be amazed that anybody imagines Mark Jamar has ANY trade value. AMAZED!

As a club we have worried about perception for far too long. If we pick a talent at 2 then great. If those experienced bodies have to wait a year. Then that is fine. If Frawley decides to leave, w

Why are so many obsessed with getting Jones outside of the fact he is Nathan's brother? I'd rather a Dunstan if he was around at our pick.

I think a better player than both will slide outside the first round, it's an even draft.

I hope Salem slides, it's possible, Taylor, etc.. There is a few players with a touch of class that could slide, we can hope.

No one thought Grundy would be there last year, so touch wood.

Rockliff and pick #26 for pick #2 and pick #36???

Perhaps a 3 way deal with another Victorian club involving Longer or Polec as i see Rockliff worth a mid to late first round pick which we don't have

Black and Brown on their last legs.

Staker too. Merrett not far off.

5 good young kids, high draft picks, all looking to bolt.

Turmoil at board level.

I'd be most worried about their forward line.

We make an attractive alternative if you're looking to move out of there and back to Victoria.

Roos as coach, established spine.

Forward line and back line set for talls, just needing a handful of smalls to come on to round it out.

Just need to sort the midfield.

We have Jones.

Trengove is better than he has shown, and players will know this.

Viney. Toumpas.

A bloke like Rockliff would be able to see the impact he'd be able to have.

I don't think it's a hard sell.

finals with the Lions. They will be in top 8 contention in 2014.

Not for me they won't.

Aish will take 3 years to help take us anywhere, & who said we give up P2?

Not everyone steps up at the same time. If you want to build long term success you have to have quality for age coming through every year. We missed out in Clarks trade year and need to bring more in this year whoever it is at pick 2.

I agree, & that is why i've pushed to recruit a couple of elders & use our picks to multiply our gets, eg P2 for player x + P8 ?

I don't want a thomas

.... get us a Chappy & a Cross, or a Del or an MWhite or Stokes or Ellis or Guerra type? FA's

use some of our picks/players for trades & delisted free agents.

I still want to get 2 earlyish draftees.

Nupp, they're miles away from being a serious finals contender, they have very few key position players of any quality,

we're closer to a flag than they are.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
