Might be worth having a chat to Mitch Lewis at Hawthorn, seems on the outer and might be unhappy.

Irrelevant, he won't be going anywhere.

Well that shows  up the Club thinking.  Ageing player, has some currency, and wont be considered for a trade.

he's also a free agent, so it's out of our hands to a greater / lesser degree

Didn't realize 26 was an ageing player, let's trade out all our players over 25 and we can concentrate on becoming a kindergarten club.

I think it shows up your thinking.

you say he's an ageing player but a more positive thinking person would say that he's now coming into his prime years. you said he was of limited currency before ('would only bring a second rounder'), but you'd still wish to trade an ex captain of our club, our current VC and a guy who was our best player 2 games ago for what, a second round pick?!

to me your thinking sounds overly negative, disloyal and confused. 

Petty and Sparrow are 2 players I would have in the starting 18. To trade off would be stupid. There are plenty of other dead cattle at Melbourne.

I know it's early but I thought it would be a little fun to predict trades, promotions and delistings.

Makes good sense, provides potential benefits and skills, keeps those in the picture keen and somewhat responsible towards the Club. I'd retain Hunt - seldom played in his most valuable position under Goodwin - he's a forward on the run, leading, and we know he can kick 'em.

Funny, as in breathtakingly premature....

Well, to start with I was not the one to bring up Vineys name. I merely said or infered that strong Clubs make impartial decisions on who and when to trade players.  You dont agree, good for you but to bring up the disloyal card just shows your thinking is still back in the glory years of the early 60s.  

We have a lot of fringe players. Our elite players don’t perform consistently. Brayshaw has had some great games in the past but has underperformed for two years.

Are we still giving our first pick to North? No doubt they'll find somebody fantastic with it even if there's not one Under 18 game played.

what about Schache from Dogs? Isn't getting a game at the moment and if he added some size he could be handy 

how is he different to the weed tho?

good tall at junior level who at senior level isn't mobile enough, skilled enough, hard enough, so basically has to be the part time forward / ruck role

I think Weed should be playing and not sure why he isn't - showed signs early and although he had a down year last year so did 3/4 of the side

Fwds take time and I think our coaches are being pretty impatient with him. I must admit it was foolish of whoever came out and said he is worth $650k a year as it might of got to his head/a target on him/internal pressure

But I want to see him back in the side, fwds are a commodity and we don't have too many rn

pass for mine

The crows must have something we want.   Laird is too small to replace Nev, imv.

Lets start to get into Fogarty.

It almost looking like selection this year,  after maybe some footy-dept changes,  that players now have to demand a game by crashing the selection room door in.!

hunger games

fogarty just did his shoulder unfortunately

he might be another in a long list of player's whose body is simply not made for the rigours of afl-level football

 

If we can't get anyone I'm happy to take what little we have to the draft and try and move up somehow

Our recruiting has been very good last few years so I'm happy to back them in again

We don't want list cloggers

  • 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.
