Who are the Dees chasing for 2017 and at what cost?

We won't be entitled to a first round pick (2017) in the "kiddie" draft and we can't trade our 2018 first round pick as far as I am concerned. The senior players who seem not to be in the demons future plans have no currency.

Any ideas?

I'd love to nab Hurley, or a GWS youngster that can't get a gig....

Can we package up some later picks for a top 10 pick again to one of the Academy clubs? Could then use that as currency in a trade for Prestia. Not sure who else is available (other than Hibberd). Tomlinson could be a tall defender/swingman option but he's been playing wing and getting games for GWS recently.

It sounds like we are going after Prestia and Hibberd.

I wonder if we have gone cold on Prestia but more interested in Brad Crouch.

Hoskin-Elliot may be worth a look?

4 years in the system, still can't get either a sustained run without injuries, or when he does, is ineffective and inconsistent at best. A top 5 bust.

I'm intrigued to hear where you've pulled Crouch from, DD?

His contract talk with the Crows has stalled and is a long way off. He's mysteriously been banished to the SANFL.

But what makes you think we're in the hunt?

Well we were very keen on him for our Mini draft pick a couple of years ago. 

Runner up to Jeager O Meara in the rising star and was seriously a jet in his debut year but has just been dogged by injuries.

Personally i think his upside is far larger then Prestia. Thought id still just be as happy with Prestia!

Of all the years I'm glad we've got a fruitful trading relationship with GWS, it's this one. They have more first round draft selections than they know what to do with, and they don't even need them due to the bidding system!

Must use it to our advantage.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a Crouch fan, but I was just intrigued where you'd heard it. I'm hoping we're going for both of them - that is, Crouch and Prestia.

Stuie, we traded our 2016 first round draft pick but i doubt if we can trade our 2017 first round draft pick according to the AFL trade rules,I might be wrong.We need to pick up a diamond in the rough or two in the 2nd to 4th rounds. What are we going to trade for a Prestia or an equivalent ?

We can.

You just can't trade 2 future picks in the 1 year

I would love this kid, looked like a star 2 years back 

I think he'd compliment our contested ball winners well.

I think we have a great core of youngsters and need to add good players through trade and free agency to help push us into the top 8 next season.

Hibberd, Hurley, Daw, Prestia, O'Meara, Mitch or Nathan Brown, Daniel Merrett.

These are all guys we should be looking at to possibly bring in.

Posted

We lack genuine experience down back. Nathan Brown is a premiership Center Half Back who is still only 26 years old. Collingwood prefer playing Jack Frost but Brown could be the extra hard defender McDonald desperately needs as a chop out.

Could still get another 4 years out of him while Oscar develops.

Zak Jones has one more year to run on his contract after this season. I wonder if the dees would couple up some picks for him to help the Swans with academy bidding and other dealings.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
