Isn't there conjecture regarding Essendon players not getting any suspensions.

If this is so we could do worse than a couple of their on ballers but I don't know who.

 

Yarran - NO. Don't need another lazy front runner

He won't be coming to us, but in fantasy land he'd actually fill a really important role for us off half back. Tomlinson would be great and I hope Dom and Frosty are getting in the ears of some of these homesick GWS kids.

would love it if we could come in late and land a player such as treloar.

unlikely.

the only real stories around melbourne are that we are chasing lynch, likely to lose howe, and have enquired about every decent midfielder in the comp as well as a couple of fringe gws talls.

Isn't that a good thing?

No longer leaking like a sieve to anyone who will listen.

Yep, I'm looking forward to being pleasantly surprised again this trade period.

Not looking great is it?

In terms of later picks, very bullish on Kurt Mutimer. Have had a little to do with him and significant upside imo. Central to Vic Country down back but received very little media attention. Good kick.

I think, wada asada & our admins have finally got their man, the one they really wanted, & Now after much ado about nothing but cheating, I think they're players will walk like Scott f Byrd.

so I agree with you wilmoy

Outs(9). Howe-Giants(trade 1) Toumpas-Crows (trade 2) Garland (FA) bail m.jones mckenzie terlich fitz riley

Promoted. Harmes VDNberg

Ins. Tomlinson - Giants(trade 1) Tom Lynch - Crows(trade 2) Tom Bugg DFA. Thats the CHF, Half fwd and tough onball tagger.

draft picks 5 (Harley Balic), 25 (Ryan Clarke),26 (Jake Gresham), 45 (Kurt Mutimer). Thats a skilled ruck rover, x factor midfielder, high possession rover and skilled running half back.

What I really like about this is that it's a very young list. We'd only have to replace about 5 players over the next five 3 to 4 years. Plus, we'd need to fill those 5 question marks. Two more draft/trade/FA periods should get us the majority of those players and after that, it'll just be a case of ensuring we have good deoth and any non performers are shown the door. Gold Coast's McKenzie, Bennell and Prestia would be a good start with three of those question marks. ;)

Very strong team!! Gives hope for the future. Moves beyond the inconsistent and questionable efforts of Dawes, Howe, Toumpas. And places great faith in the future built on Viney, Salem, Hogan, Brayshaw, Petracca, Watts. I'm going to keep any eye out for the first time this 17 group of players take to the field together, and no doubt will be pleased with the scoreboard result at the final siren. There is some serious talent on our list, and serious reason to be excited for 2016 and beyond!!

I'd be thinking that Frost might be that full back you are looking for. Possibly Weiderman as that full forward but no idea where the rest will come from. It's exciting though.

Im expecting big things from Frost. He's also agile not a plodder.

I supposed based on the short term what I think is a realistic gap filling effort for next year i'd go with

Lynden Dunn Sam Frost Nev Jetta

Christian Salem Tom Mcdonald Harry Lumumba

David Mckay Jack Viney Angus Brayshaw

Christian Petracca Tom Lynch Jack Watts

Jeff Garlett Jesse Hogan Dean Kent

Max Gawn Nathan Jones Bernie Vince

Aaron Vandenberg Dom Tyson Alex Neil-Bullen

I'm not sure about McKay?

But, if these guys are fit and firing at the same time.

I feel pretty good about next year.

Give us 1 a grade mid to boot, I'll feel even better

Lachie Plowman played a pretty good game today, having started on the bench: 20 poss (3 kicks, 17 HB) of which 6 uncont. at 85% efficiency and 3 tackles.

Not bad for 1st game this year at AFL level.

We get to have a closer look at him when he plays against us next week.

Plowman can play, a little hard to judge his trade value though for mine

Here is how our best 22 could look for 2016...

Jetta Frost Dunn

Lamumba T.Mc Salim

Michie Viney Vince

Kent *TOMLINSON Petracca

Gartlett Hogan *LYNCH

  • 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.

    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?

    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?
