    Neither would I. Weid is on target to be a good player for us.

    Or just open your eyes. 

    I recall a couple of years ago many thought Oscar hopeless. Today he is our main key back.

    He has played two good games this year for Casey both against Coburg who  cannot beat time with a stick. What else has he done?

    Any preferences of Gaff over Sloane?

    Gaff, please ... still think he is the goods for our team.

    Neither could Ringo, but he was still the drummer for the greatest band in the world.

    Weid is developing and most good players don't necessarily rip the VFL apart, as it is played somewhat differently and with less skill in passing the ball etc.

    I think Weid will be the regular 3rd key forward next year.

    What do people think about trying to get Dalhaus in as a FA? Hes quick, tough and a good tackler. The Bulldogs CEO said tonight that discussions are ongoing but they aren't any closer to closing the gap.

    Trade out Tyson!  He has played good in patches however, has not met expectations.

    would also put Kent on trade table.

    Soidee - seriously what do you really believe we could get for them?

    With the form of the VFL side I suddenly think Johnstone and Keilty are safe.

    McKenna and Vandenberg have 2 months to prove themselves.

    Can T.Smith, Keilty and Maynard all be 3rd year rookies?

    So the delistings will be minimal. JKH, Bugg and Pedo.

    Trade bait Tyson and Kent, I would hold onto Garlett for another year to see if he can turn things around.

    If we can’t get Gaff, then I completely agree he should be the secondary target

    Your allow to elevate a rookie at the start of the year (Maynard) due to injuries (T.Smith) and the middle of the year I think. They can be elevated at the end of the year or stay on the rookie list.

    Sorry, what I meant was that I thought he wasn't a rookie anymore. Who did we put on the main list at the draft last year?

    Any gun key position defenders we can poach?   It looks like slim pickings.

    This team desperately needs one....   could we sign Adelaides McGovern and turn him into a KPD?

    I know hes just started playing WAFL level after having foot issues, but I'd sign Eric Mckenzie from West Coast on a 1 year deal. While we have Lever out, we need a hardened experience defender who can add leadership down back. 

    Former best and fairest winner at the eagles and was Co Captain at some stage also. 196cm 100kg key back who would be handy until Lever comes back and Petty develops.

    I've heard he has had further problems with his foot and is a strong chance to retire by seasons end. I would have happily nabbed him otherwise.

    After the StKilda game, it appears that he has reverted to hopeless. Roos' legacy is nearly spent. Hibberd is the only player who really lifts and works hard covering the whole backline out of necessity.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
