Unless you’re the Suns and you’re given a priority pick to keep mates together...

I did think of that, although no one says Rowell is asking for that.

    Have we convinced Martin yet? I’m not a huge fan but I can see him being a staple if he comes on board.

    Martin

    Bennell

    Tomlinson

    Langdon

    All these guys are quite simply a massive injection of the outside speed and class that we have craved for so long! 
    Why split any picks if you bag 4 players like this? Tell the other clubs to stick it and get some very good kids.

    I hope we’re backing ourselves to convince Martin to join us.

    I am sure we have tried and Bennell may help if he is mates with Martin.

    However, all the signs currently point to Martin joining Visy mob.

    With a year to run on his contract, James Harmes signing of a 5 year contract is evidence we are freeing up some room in our cap to make a big play this year. 

    I believe the Dees will take Martin in the PSD and trump Carlscum with Bennel also coming as a DFA.

    I hope not. It's big $$$'s for someone that has never really done anything.

    I believe Martin can be a very good player. He will go to another level which ever club he lands at. He is only 24 so has plenty to give.
     

    I would expect he plays half forward with stints in the midfield. Capable of easily being a 40+ goal kicker.

    Just a gut feel or something you’ve been informed? Players normally end up where they want to go, at $1.5mil for two years, he’s going to end up at Carlton. Anyone who hopes differently is going to be disappointed.

    Where did the $1.5M come from?

    Has it actually been reported?

    It would stretch Carlton just as much as us you’d think. 
    I think it’s a load horseshit.

    Hope this true. I also believe that he will go to a new level in a different environment.  Would mean our trade period has addressed most of our run/skill levels concerns.

    I wonder if North are regretting their pick trade now that we could land both Bennell and  Martin?

    I gotta say for the rumoured coin he’s asking for I would be passing on him. I don’t know if Melbourne is playing games with Carlton, almost trying to rule themselves out publicly so Martin doesn’t nominate a stupid amount of money and then we swoop. 

    I’d say I’m 50/50 on him, if we get him then great. I won’t lose any sleep if we pass on him though.

    I believe is my gut feel! No Sauces! ? 

    The Dees have a 5 year plan to win a Premiership! I think we are heading into year 4 or 5. They will pull the strings they need to achieve this success!

    We sacrificed Pick 6 and $$$ to land May. We paid overs to get Lever, trading away 2 first round draft picks! We will do the same with Martin $$$, however get him for free... The Dees will and should be ruthless in there approach. The time is now!
     

    Langdon, Tomlinson, Martin & Bennel along with Picks 3 & 8 is a significant step in the right direction.

    What would that have to do with the pick trade?

    That pick wouldn't be used on either of them.

    Meaning that we’ll be an obviously better side and win more games with those two players added (should Harley ever be fit again), delivering Norf a worse pick than they were expecting

    Oh yes I forgot about that. Hope you are right. Would love to have given North pick 18.

    I'm not sold. Potential is such an ugly word. At 24 he should be established, and when he puts a big price on his head and noms a club, I say let him go there. Daisy MKII.

    He hasn't had a single game in his now 6-year career where he's been BOG or at least turned a game on its head (e.g. Daniel Rioli).

    Send Daniel Rioli to the Suns and see how many games he wins off his own boot. Martin is a gun and comparing him to Rioli is an insult.

    Dunno about an insult but you're right, players like this are icing on the top, they don't thrive in bad teams (cue 'why is he coming to Melbourne then' comment).

    Fact is good players are better in best teams because the better quality players in the team are opposed to the best players , so they will get a lesser quality player to oppose them in the opponents team

    Because he's not coming, it's quite simple really. 

    People need to actually start accepting that he's never coming to us. He's hellbent on Carlton and that's it.

    • 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.
