    you can almost include Petracca in this draft lot,

    Petracca and Oliver = Engine room for the next 10 years

    Hogan and Weiderman = key forwards for the next 10 years

  • Quote

    just to reiterate the obvious:

    next year's inclusions to the side are Melksham, Kennedy, Bugg, Oliver, Weideman, Petracca and Trengove

    not too shabby

    seriously, how good is this midfield group?

    jones
    vince
    viney
    trengove
    tyson
    vandenberg
    salem
    brayshaw
    petracca
    oliver

    According to Sam landsberger, "Essendon stole the show with seven shrewd selections", please let this be another wines/toumpas fiasco... Also they hardly stole the show, a lightly framed mid who displays no exceptional speed, endurance or skill and a utility whom most are unsure as to where he will play at afl level. If anything I think Brisbane had a great draft. Notwithstanding getting Schache - the tall toward they desperately needed - securing academy players Eric Hipwood and then Ben Keays (who i think will be a gun) the latter much later than predicted allowing them to swoop on Rhys Mathieson with pick 39 (painfully close to our 3rd pick), allowed them to adress their needs whilst avoiding any strong go home factorr, all in all a great draft for the lions.

    I assume he's just another essendrugs supporter, so what's the point, just another garbage journalist spewing out biased cr*p. I'm surprised he didn't take a pot at melbourne whilst he was at it, then he'd have all bases covered.

    I'm really happy with these selections, and both players seem thrilled to have been picked up by us.

    Particularly excited by Weideman as his addition gives us the potential to have the best forward line in the competition. If he can reach his potential, defenders will have nightmares about playing the Dees.

    Viney, Brayshaw, Tyson, Salem, Petracca, Parish.

    Just wanted to see what that looked like in black and white.

    Something that is bugging me and is hardly related to the MFC but really gets me is why the hell SOS is rated so highly as a recruiter! he's screwed up so many more picks than he's gotten right.

    2012 he grabbed...1: Whitfield ( looks good but obvious choice )

    2:O'rourke ( gone to hawks after showing little )

    3: Plowman ( gone to blues after showing little )

    12: Jacksh ( gone to blues after showing little )

    14: Corr ( looks okay, but not standing out )

    2013 1. Boyd ( gone to dogs after showing little )

    2. Kelly ( looks a player but obvious pick 2 )

    14: McCarthey ( good but wants out already )

    2014 4. Picket ( eh, did he even play? )

    6. Marchbank ( looks okay )

    7. Ahern ( meh )

    11 selections inside the top 14 in 3 years and imo 2 players that look like long term giants is a Melbourne-like result.

    hope his strike rate is better at the blues, for their sake.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
