Pick 23 for Merrett + Brisbane's third rounder.

Brisbane's third rounder on-traded for Frost.

Take best available midfielder in the PSD with pick 2, rather than having to burn it on Frost (see what I did there?)

Get anyone who is better than Evans/McKenzie as a DFA. Burbury has my vote, would cost peanuts and kicks goals.

Delist Strauss/Tappy/Blease obviously.

I prefer we keep Jeremy Howe! High marking's about the most spectacular sight in our game, Howe's about the best high mark in the history of the sport; sport is a division of the Entertainment Industry . His crowd drawing adds to his good playing value.

Yep, we should definitely keep one-trick ponies to pull the same crowds through the door who are exiting in droves because our team sucks so much balls.

This makes sense to me Merrett and a recycled player or 2 along with picks 2 and three and we improve again.

I'm hopeful Blease can be saved by Goodwin and adapt to Roosys game plan as a rookie and make a Jettaesque comeback although unlikely.

His outstanding attribute is very useful.

I would like to see Melbourne help broker the deal between St Kilda and GWS for #1.

St Kilda gives #1, #21 for #3, #6, #23

GWS gives Greene, #4, #6 for #1, #21

Melbourne gives #3, #23 for Greene, #4

Add Frost to us and it is a good deal.

Blease is gone either through a trade or delisting and he wants to be gone, absolutely how he feels.

DN9, going by this logic, *every* year, the team that finishes last is odds on to finish last the next year. If you're going to pencil us in for last this year, why stop there? Pencil us in for last every year for the rest of our lives.

I don't know who we're going to leapfrog. We should improve, and some teams will get worse. It happens every year. Predictions of finishing last this far out make the assumption that everything will remain static - that's just not how it works.

I seriously can't fathom why many posters on this board even support our club.

It is such a miserable existence with no hope, no optimism and everything we touch turns to crap.

We can't trade properly because there should be players banging our door down to come to the club.

We can't even get HL into a Melbourne jumper for his announcement about him joining our club.

Do these posters derive even the slightest bit of enjoyment out of our club or is it just an exercise in self flagellation ?

How about Pick 23 for Greene

&

Brayshaw & Petracca/Lever

You realise the Greene's number are almost identical to Nathan Jones ?

Whilst you don't base judgement purely on stats - the one stat is that you would never get Greene for pick 23.

Brayshaw and Lever. Dees wanted a pick further down the first round order but may have to go early on Lever

I am realistic about where we sit but if I couldn't find some way to get enjoyment out of supporting my team I would just stop supporting - as simple as that.

I got some enjoyment last year out of seeing obvious improvement, watching for the first time in years three good recruits come in and make an impact (Cross Tyson Vince). The club has some stability about it.

We have now put the missing piece in place in the coaching box and I am eager to see how Hogan goes. Do I think we will knocking on the door for the 8 ? nope. Will I get frustrated during the year - absolutely . Will I be satisfied - unless we race up the ladder - nope.

Will I moan and gripe about our club and be woe is us - I'll walk away from the game first.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
