I think they'll be sought, but aren't as high on the list as some other types. A bloke like Salem has already shown his danger at ground level.

agreed we are only half way with the mids yet. & Fitzy still offers a lot of potential for our future IMO. not sure about the others rucks yet. capable but, how far?

A couple of great kicks off half back

We have probably lost 2-3 games thanks to the poorr foot skills of Grimes, Terlich and McDonald killing us on the last line of defense

Aside from that just target gun players regardless of position

Im sure thats what Roosy will do

Tall midfielders and half backs that can run and kick laser accurate passes.

Stephen Hill comes to mind.

unless he wants out (doubtful) then no chance

I'd actually like the mids bookends, - a Dion Prestia type, & a Josh Kennedy type size. I'm all for getting all bases covered. Having plenty of variation allows our coaches flexibility to trouble the opponents.

agreed on the running backs, we need good steppers, with vision & great kicks. but doesn't everyone. bruce doull, did you have any grandkids?

all our midsized recruits should all have an ability to run thru mid rotations. from there we will find some with differing skill sets. eg: hodge.

I liked the term used by Dunstall "On the Couch", clubs need distributors from the back line and this is an obvious deficiency in our back line. I suspect Salem will be earmarked for this role in seasons to come. I only hope Hawthorn get distracted by Fyfe as they cannot afford him and Frawley. We will find out just how good our recruiting team i.e. Taylor to identify excess talent at another club looking for a change.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
