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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
