Daniel Currie or

Daniel Gorringe as ruck depth and compete with Spencer for the back up ruckman gig.

Currie will be a number 1 ruckman at another club next year. Almost won the JJ Liston last night from his first 9 games before injury ruined his year.

Season is over for us so thought I would make this topic.

My question is who do you want in the red and blue next year?

Who do you want that you think is realistic chance of us snapping up?

I have put a few names down.

H Bennel for Howe would it get it done? I think it may well giving Harley's latest indiscretion.

Here is one for you Shaun Atley. offer North a 1st round pick for next year in 2016. Giving there ageing list a first rounder next year when the likes of Boomer, Dal Santo, retire will be very hard to say no to on there side.

Still on North. Dan Currie would be handy pick up as ruck. About to hit 26 years old,peaking age for rucks they say. Would not cost much and he can play second fiddle to Gawn.

Last one Jed Anderson from the Hawks for me running tough mud starved of opportunities.

Adding Bennel Atley and Anderson addresses our speed factor in the midfield.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Our immediate needs are obviously an A grade mid, a classy running back, & a power marking & nasty forward pocket.... I Want us to address these needs, asap.

so would like Danger & Hawkins f/a; trade hard for JO'M ; trade hard for a Kreuzer/Vardy/follower type ; & running back? Hartlett or any others?

Melbourne needs Royalty, a Prince; so from the draft, I'd like us to go tall & young

Charles Curnow with P-1,

& find/trade in a 2nd pick for Sam Weideman,

&, also don't know what pick gets it done; but its time we invested in SuDan... Gach Nyuon - Height: 201cm, Weight: 81kg, Born in Sudan, he arrived in Australia with his family aged seven.

.Athletic ruckman who played a major role in the success of Vic Country being the outstanding ruckman of the championships and winning All-Australian Under-18 honours.

.Provided first use to his midfield and continually provided a target around the ground.

.Best on ground in first round of TAC Cup finals gathering 19 possessions, seven marks and 32 hitouts for the Stingrays.

.Member of the NAB AFL Academy. Averaged 22.8 hitouts per game at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.

Kade Kolodjashnij - Half Back Flanker/Wingman with elite kick and running ability

Nathan Freeman - Highly rated midfielder with serious running power and x factor, hopefully can overcome hammy issues

Bennell - The A-grade talent we're crying out for

Tomlinson - The hulking CHF who would love playing with best mate Dom Tyson at the G.

Adcock - Another experienced leader with a hard edge, is clear he can still play and would be the right replacement for Crossy

Bennell out of the realistic targets, Prestia would be perfect but is more likely to happen next year. I'd like us to trade this years pick and hopefully get a player + a later pick to choose either Riley Bonner or Kieran Lovell

May be a controversial call but I see a lot of upside to Ryan Schoenmakers. Been in a good team and at times I think has been unlucky not to crack into the team. Is big bodied and quite quick for his size. Can play forward and back. I think we could get him for little as well.

Kruezer as a FA pick up, at a sensible price and if the medical clears him.

Josh Walker as a 2-year low price contract and a token late draft pick.

Any genuinely high quality midfielder that becomes available should be seriously investigated (e.g. Redden, Treloar, O'Meara, but not so much Melksham)

Delisting the obvious 6; Bail, Terlich, McKenzie, M Jones, Fitzpatrick. Riley.

Retain Watts, Garland and Grimes, mostly because I think between the three of them they ensure that every poster on Demonland will still have a player they maniacally hate. Also, I think 6 delistings, two 'pushed' retirements and the near-certain exit of Howe means enough exits, at a count of 9. Players like Watts/Grimes/Garland/Dawes/Dunn/Lumumba are needed for now, as mature depth if nothing else.

Besides, there has to be someone left to delist in 2016 to make room for free agents Hannebery, Rich, Sidebottom, Harlett and Armitage.

We could probably afford to offer every one of them 750k a year.

I think this year is mostly one for monitoring opportunities, being ready to trade even our first pick to get a suitable premium target, and clearing out almost all of the outright not-AFL players.

Again, I think 2016, when we've just won a final and smoothly transitioned to Goodwin, is when the final round of big moves will be made.

He's always looked slow and mechanical at AFL level. Like Jamar of late (who still largely dominated the VFL). I don't know how much better than Spencer he would be. So I wouldn't be in a hurry to find out. I'd rather draft and develop a guy who has the athleticism for AFL.

We won't be getting any AA midfielders until we're consistently up near the top end of the ladder.

Unless we get stupid with $$$, which isn't going to happen.

Reality.

Let's revisit this post after the trade and FA period see if you're right.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
