Agree, the knee worries me too.

I wonder if an 18 year old Judd's shoulders would have worried us?

Get on the Jager train!

    WTF??? How could Petracca be a role model, he's 19 and yet to play game!

    Staggering isn't it..

    As mentioned by a couple of authors,Grimes or Trengove to be kept at Demonland for very little money. Rookies get $80,000 plus per annum,I wished that I get paid that much, very little money…..can only dream.

    The Trengove [censored] off to Richmond was a load of bullsh.t,never going to happen,only used as exercise to lay down the law to players underperforming.Trengove will get back to his best next year however may not get a gig in the midfield.

    Ridiculous comment contrary to all the evidence we have seen. First of all JT was not underperforming - he was injured so it doesn't lay the law down to anyone. Plus Richmond would not have bothered with a medical if the deal was a sham & both Trengove & Roos have indicated in interviews that the deal would have gone ahead.

    So if people are shying from O'Meara, does that make people concerned about Prestia?

    Dermott Brereton has said previously that in the year before the 2001 draft Hawthorn would have taken Judd with Pick 1 if he'd been eligible. They decided one year later because of his shoulders that they'd take Hodge instead. However, that decision would have been helped by the knowledge that Hodge was likely to be a superstar.

    Just trying to say that just because a kid has an injury doesn't mean he won't be any good.

    But having said that would you rather Judd or Hodge, still an impossible le decision if you ask me.

    O'Meara would be worth a punt, but his knees are a big concern. Potential to be one of the greats, but also a chance he can never string together a full season. What would we have to pay? Is our first pick worth the risk? Maybe we could ask Richmond's doctor to put him through his paces before we make them an offer.

    I quite like the idea of targeting another tall forward, as I don't rate Dawes and still think King is a long way off. Day would be my preference over Dixon, especially if it's to be believed that Brisbane are driving Dixon's price through the roof.

    yep, Henderson is the one currently avail' . hes the perfect foil for our current list... we don't want 2 kids we're waiting for, to potentially develop.

    trengove, dunn, frost

    jetta, T-Mac, cross,

    kent, tyson, salem

    watts, Henderson, petracca

    garlett, Colonel, fitzpatrick

    spencer, brayshaw, jones,

    selwood, garland, lamumba, viney, vandenborg, toumpas, stretch, neal-bullen, grimes, weideman, white, howe, aish,

    I would take a punt on O'Meara. We need to inject some pedigree into this team even if it means taking an educated risk.

    Absolutely, our first pick and Howe. It's not an overly strong draft so why not?

    Judd in his prime over Hodge.

    Straight swap for a free agent? Nah

    Very good point!

    Forgot Leuy is an FA.

    Anyone know if Adam Treloar is any closer to re-signing, or do we think he's in play?

    whether or not he's in play might be irrelevant, as we're at 100% of the cap, don't have anyone notable on big money going (possible exception being jamar), and have a couple of reasonably significant players - garland, howe - out of contract.

    also, i can't see treloar leaving gws, and if he does, i can't seem him heading for the dees.

    That cant be true, unless its a strange season where a lot of players staggered contracts are getting the bulk of their money in 2015

    We will have a lot of room in the cap next season for sure

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
