Interesting article and it would indicate that we will be looking at someone like Acres 189/84, Sheed 184/83 or Freman 181/85.

Either that or he is trying to spook Collingwood in to taking Freeman at 6 and we snap up Bontempelli at 9 or vise versa.

    Freeman is 185, they are old stats. He will be a great pickup!

    Where is the proof?

    Those old stats would be from the draft camp which was a couple of weeks ago.

    think he wants bontempelli?

    his parents are from venice

    so he could save the club

    if it wasn't for the venetians it would be curtains for all of us

    The aspect to this that I Iike most is that Roos is Roos . He doesn't need verifications form a handful of hacks to suggest we've done well or stuffed it etc. He is on the front foot saying we've done better than ok this trade and we've got some good pickups. He's happy , Melbourne's happy. Effectively we're winners.

    The dodgy estate dwellers (media ) now have Roos to contend with. He will set the agenda and not the other way around.

    I clearly remember Sydney recruiters watching ROHAN/CUNNINGTON

    roos wanted rohan because of SPEED and acknowledged cunnington as a future hard ball champ

    but at the end of the day wanted rohan as he preferred speed over hardball gets

    just an insight into the R:OOS way

    don't know but his motto is

    must have athletic skill and speed

    this was made quite clear in the rohan pick by his scouts

    btw nice comeback with the blinds

    take an extra 2.00 outta the till on the way home big fella

    OK I will bite!

    What did the Venetians do for us?

    I thought it was the Romans.

    I think Jonathon Marsh was fastest this year ahead of Nathan Freeman

    While Freeman is expected to go high, Marsh on the other hand has many opinions according to experts

    The fastest recorded sprint is Joel Wilkinson

    Being the fastest is just a stat

    The point i am making is that Joel Wilkinson was delisted

    Look at the 3 km

    Expected high draft pick Josh Kelly has the 2nd best 3km time

    Guess how many games the record holder has played ?

    Some would struggle to even remember the name of Tom Rischbieth

    He also had a 15.08 beep test which is impressive

    I am starting to think our game recruiters have started to realize that having natural footy skills and smarts is making a comeback as an important component

    of AFL other than sheer athletic ability

    should ALWAYS be the fist consideration. Somethings can be worked on and improved; a natural head for the game is either there or it isnt.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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.
