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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
