    Dan Hannebery would be handy if he wants to come on board 

    Neither particularly compliments our midfield. I'd take Libba first before Hannebery, but would prefer a pacey, good ball user or a contested beast that is a ball magnet (think Ollie Wines). Libba doesn't get it enough and Hannebery is appeared (to me) to be slowing down this year (not to mention being Sydney-based).

    Who else could it be? Out of the Victorian based teams and midfielders (outside of the Essendon youngsters that I've mentioned), I'd only be interested in Cripps (injury doubts), Treloar, Sidebottom (maybe), Jack Steven, Bontempelli, Dahlhaus, Macrae (although is he tough enough?) and Daniel.

    Surely we're aiming higher?

    I think Lever is the big fish, but the fish and Cripps would be a delicious trade period!

    A few people asking me what mail is about.Honestly not much this year.

    Hearing the Watts loot will inform next move. They'd like Gaff and question has been asked. Unlikely at this point but shopping assets like Watts gives us a chips at the table. 

    Balic more likely than not.

    Not sure where to put this or if it has been discussed elsewhere; but I assume BenKen's late(r) delisting means we're now confident of something transpiring list-wise and perhaps in a similar regard. Talk on Menzel seems to have gone quiet though?

    I took it more as there being little interest in him from a trade perspective so we've let him go.

    But would we not still hang onto him until a bit further down the line? Though I suppose that works both ways - why free up a spot until you definitely need it? Unless maybe we have a definite in?

    Given we already have several spots available though? No idea, you might be right, something may have come up.

    Trying to recall previous seasons. Was it Dawes, Michie and maybe Newton who were let go later last year? After trade week? And do we need the compulsory spots open and available before the draft?

    Damn those pesky modern kids. Not only are they experts on the google-machine, but already know how to say all those confusing ethnic refugee names infiltrating the AFL.

    Wonder if we are looking at Isaac Smith from the Hawks?

    Almost 29 but would compliment our midfield perfectly as the outside runner for 2-3 years, plus premiership experience.

    I'd offer up a 2nd round pick for him which the Hawks may bite on seeing as they have to re-juvenate their list.

    Thoughts?

    If you could get him for a second rounder and convince him to come across it's a no brainer.

    Shouldn't we be listening to this...?

    Honestly don't think it's anyone. We'll get Lever and possibly Balic. Usually by now you hear what names we're sniffing around, but these two are the only ones we've heard so far.

    As long as he doesn't take the last kick of the match for a win.

    Agree with @dazzledavey36

    Unless something crazy happens these things are usually already almost done by the start of trade week.

    • 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.
