Hawks and Geelong will combine to get O'Meara, Crouch and Prestia.

The other 8 VIC clubs will be forced to feed off the scraps / C graders.

 

Oh, I just realised I'm not in the Optimistic thread...

    Crouch doesn't add anything to our list that we don't already have, so no.

    I'd be astonished if we targeted him.

    Great users and a bit of speed is what we are after. 

    Crouch is neither of those.

    You go after players that can win their own ball and Crouch certainly can. FWIW, if it came down to decision between Crouch or Prestia I'd take the latter, but I certainly wouldn't scoff at Crouch.

    Rate him pretty high, but if I had the choice I would take Prestia, just. Well worth investing some effort into. We can trade 1 more future rd 1 pick but im not convinced the club will be too keen to do that 2 years in a row. That would tie our hands for the following 2 years.

    I'd take Prestia ahead of Crouch. Whilst I accept that Prestia has come off a knee reco, Crouch's injury record is ongoing.

    Unless Crouch has suddenly developed an outside game, some speed and clean disposal since last night then no.

    Well if we are to be honest, neither is Prestia

    Prestia has both those attributes

    They both have better foot skills and speed than MJones, ANB, Harmes, Trenners, stretch, JKH, BenKen, AVB or Terls. 

    Oliver, Viney and Tyson don't shine in these areas either.

    Crouch and/or Pestia would be massive improvements to our midfield stocks.

    I have no idea what the Crows would want in return. If he can't establish himself in the best 22 by the end of the year then it will hurt his trade value.

    North Melbourne need to top up young talent quickly. I could see them out bidding us if it's picks the Crows want.

    If you think Crouch has better speed than Jones, Harmes, Stretch or BenKen you need to look again.

    Missed the word 'and' Red.

    Even then, I still disagree. Speed is much more than running.

    Matt Crouch is better.......

    He looks better because he has had a pre-season. Brad Crouch has been limited. But talent wise, there is no comparison. Brad is a better user of the football. In fact, I think Brad is better in all areas. This is not to downplay Matt Crouch, I think he is an improving player (with a lot to offer), but Brad Crouch is a game changer. We should go all out for him IMO.

    • 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.
