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?

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

    Stephen Hill comes to mind.

    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

    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.

    What's your link Machsy?

    You really think I'm going to divulge that here to mental giants like yourself?

    It's irrelevant.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
