Wish we drafted him back in the day, that draft will go down as a super draft with him, Truck, Gus, Heeney and going to fruition.

Cant remember the draft order, but who would you not have drafted in his stead?

    Didn't we have lever penciled in with the pick from Richmond for trengove before the doctor stuffed us, I know Roos really rated him

    Why bother chasing a (soon to be) All Australian defender when we already have one.

     

    Put Tom McDonald back to the backline and instead of going after Lever go and get Patton/Lobb.

     

    Jetta OMac Frost

    Hibberd TMac Hunt

    Brayshaw Jones Vince

    Petracca Hogan Melksham

    Garlett Patton/Lobb Watts

    Gawn Oliver Viney

     

    Lewis Hannan Salem Tyson

     

     

    Looks ok to me...

    We have a good trade history with GWS, only think is it won't come cheap. Have to be realistic can't offer Pederson for either of them.

     

    Weideman and a late first round pick?

     

    Weed will be a dynamite forward in years 2 come bad trade. The computer says no.

    Yep, kid is a footballer. Skinny and sorta uncoordinated now, but give him 2 years and he will be kicking more goals than Jesse.

    Clearly we need Lever.

    Frost and O-Mac in tandem are as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

    Yes, he would be more than handy. Understatement...

    I can't see Frost being in the future plans apart from being a depth player or maybe trade value.

    O-Mac does have some upside though.

    Not sure why Adelaide would be interest in either Watts or the Weid noting they already have Walker, JJ, Lynch and McGovern (maybe short term) loitering around in there forward line and Otten who swings around there.

    There backline would need more support which increases the value on Oscar/Frost but I still think there priorities would be for high quality mids. 

    I still think a local like an ANB might be used along with a first round pick in exchange for Lever and some pick in change. You have to spend big to get the talent and personally I think the kids going to be a star.

    Would be massive for us to get this done

    Can see that happening. I like it.

    Maybe Carlton can be lured by more ex-GWS players in any of Tyson, Bugg or Frost + a pick.

    Yep, would be an awfully raw deal. Maybe trade up somehow and get a higher pick to send along with *Insert fringe player* and they may listen.

    If Gibbs goes to Crows at 29 before next season, I wonder what his value is.

    What worries me about that deal, is that Carlton will go for Lever themselves.

    I am told they are into Kelly up to their eyeballs.

    What about JKH to carlton? They wanted him a couple years ago, plus a pick.

    Gibbs to Adelaide, Lever to Melbourne, our first rounder this year and a second rounder next year to the Blues.  They won't be interested in any of our players, and we won't offer the ones they will have interest in.  Maybe the Crows chuck in a second rounder of some sort as well to go to the Blues.  Carlton wanted two first rounders last year, so one first rounder and two seconds might get the job done.

    You value Gibbs highly.

    Be interesting to see how much currency Gibbs and Gaz have at their respective ages.

    I have faith our pitch to him would of been well done. Can only hope he does choose to come to us. As for what picks and or who I'm sure the club have pretty much already figured out the options and also have solid faith it will be worth it.

    If he doesn't come, at least it's a good sign players want to meet with us and are linked with us. Especially the most sought after.
    Lever would be the biggest coup the club has had in my time anyway.

    OMac is a good player. It's only your stubbornness that prevents you from seeing it now. 

    Agree with you on Frost.

    Frost plays like a headless chook on speed

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
