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

I think the FD has realised natural improvement will only takes us so far and we need to get that injection of A grade talent now. I reckon we'll overspend to get in at least one A grader. It's gonna happen.

    Django, what are you thinking? The horror!

    Has anyone else heard we have inquired about deledio from the tigs. There's no rumour thread this year so wasn't sure where to post.

    Not sure how some people can't see that the team is crying out for more hard bodied midfielders. Int his day and age you need at least 6-8 inside mids running through the centre.

    Currently our inside mids consist of: Vince, Jones, Viney, Brayshaw. That's only four.

    Petracca and Trengove (if both are fit) slot straight into the inside mid group, but we all know with Trengove's injury past that isn't a certainty to happen.

    Need to go hard for Redden. Bennell, Melksham to add depth to the midfield ranks. If we can snare Bennell and Redden that would be a quality trade period.

    Bennell, Redden, Viney, Jones, Vince, Trengove, Petracca, Brayshaw. Doesn't look to bad.

    I hope I'm wrong! When you watch those finals matches and look at what the likes of a Dangerfield or Kennedy can do, the chances of us landing ourselves someone like that ... can't see it.

    On the other hand, 5+ years down the track, Brayshaw, Viney, perhaps Petracca, Salem ... who knows.

    We have good coaches and a good culture in place with lots of upside - but AAA players in the last slab of their career want what Frawley and Rivers wanted.

    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.

    We got a 40 goal forward with electric pace for nothing last year.

    Tony Abbott is looking for a trade. We would also get Joe Hockey as steak knives.

    Not sure how we would use him better suited to the bombers

    like we super glued liam to nev?

    Bennell is a different case to Jurrah. Quite different circumstances. Are you suggesting Nev Jetta isn't a good role model dc?

    Id have a crack at Billy Hartung from the Hawks - quick & skilful and might be looking for greener pastures - If he cant get a look in after Smith on one leg gets picked before him a final ?

    Billy is currently in the lushest of green pastures. We still look pretty brown at the moment. Hoping for more rain next year.

    Swap Howe for Redden

    Watts & 2nd Round Pick to Port for Hartlett

    Danger in as FA

    Adcock delisted FA

    1st round pick take Curnow

    If Garland goes pick up 2nd round compo if we are lucky swap for Tomlinson

    Changes the dynamics of the midfield very quickly

    Jetta Tmac Dunn

    Salem Frost Hartlett

    Stretch Danger Vince

    Brayshaw Hogan Kent

    Garlett Tomlinson Pedersen

    Gawn, Viney, Jones

    I/C Petracca, Redden, Adcock & 1 of ANB, Curnow or Lumumba, bad oversight by me but Tyson has to go in here, shows some depth that we could have if we get things right, young White showed a bit I'd give Grimes another year or two as depth we are always going to get injuries and depending upon opposition and match ups a tall would be required to come in

    It seems that it hasn't taken long for Vanders to fall out of favour! Same could be said about Tyson!

    p.s. Roos has gone on record in saying that we are not interested in Bennell!

    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.

    I'm not advocating Currie for Melbourne but expect he will go to a club desperate for a ruck and once he strings a few games together and gains some confidence will be a solid AFL ruck. He's a much better contested mark, user of the ball and tap ruckmen than Spencer.

    Nice bit of [censored]-teasing there, Chook.

    Has Chook ever gone one right before? Never seems to give much away at all and personally from what i have seen i can't remember one that he hit the nail on the head yet?

    I like everything you've done here, but there is a major flaw to your plan..... if you think we'd be compensated for Garland leaving after landing Danger as a FA your dreaming!! The rest is optimistically plausible however, and looks bloody good on paper.

    there's a few off the top of the head.

    As Ive said before,just because trades don't happen doesn't mean they arent tabled.

    you need to remember you barrack for Melbourne. Few blokes with options want to play for us. Do you think our meagre returns at the trade table are due to Mahoney and Viney sitting on their hands?

    Think what you want. I'm comfortable leaving you to stuff you read in Facebook and "The Haydn Bunton Thread"

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
