He might be open to a sleazy three way deal.

    Being a bit harsh on Nicho, he was actually a lot more effective than people think, just didn't look glamorous. He dropped away in his latter years, which is what people tend to remember.

    James Frawley's another good example of a full back who's athletic ability outweighs his football ability.

    Don't know enough about Tippet....is he strong enough? That would be my concern.

    bit harsh on terlich and jones

    Appalling. In fact I'd go so far as to say disgraceful given their loyal and effective service under great difficulty this year.

    Who's to say they won't improve further with a second preseason under their belts and 20 games experience?

    Jones & Terlich were inspired pick ups given how quickly they transitioned to the AFL.

    It also highlighted just how bad our midfield/side was.

    Magner was our best player in the first three games he played for us. I have nothing against either of them I just think if they're in our best 22, then we are going nowhere.

    You don't get games because of loyalty you get them because of ability.

    Says zilch about his footballing ability though, doesn't it.

    He's been delisted by two clubs.

    No.

    That was a few years ago. Not saying you're wrong, but he wouldn't be the first person for whom the penny dropped once they reached 25.

    Did he even get on the park? He was fairly injury prone. But seems have got it together last few years. Our KPD stocks are low, so mature backup required

    i have a suspicion the club is going to go shopping for KP's next year, supposedly more fish on offer.

    This year is about taller , bigger runners.....theres been a theme

    It's not like we are St Kilda of 2013 and devoid of KPP. So no need to take a substandard one if there is better other types of available. You're right in saying there's plenty on offer next year KPP wise.

    As for this year it's been about midfielders and about a spread of types.

    Taller - Cross, Tyson, Hunt

    Stronger - Michie, Riley, Harmes if he fills out

    Faster - Hunt, JKH, Salem

    More skilled - Vince, Salem, JKH

    Experienced - Vince, Cross

    Ready to break out over next year or two - Tyson, Michie, Riley

    This years draft was about making sure that each and every week for next year and beyond we have some options to play different roles within a much better midfield.

    Maybe Tippett would've been great defensive cover but as it is we can ask Dunn or Garland to play tall, bring in Pedersen for the right match up or even move Hogan to CHB which I think for a short period of cover would be very good for his footy education.

    at the risk of going at a tangent I'll just say theres a theme.. Roos et al have taken a few taller mobiles .

    I tend to agree with The Master in that we have looked to ensure a certain level of ability takes the field each week.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
