    KPF? I’ve heard of the twin towers forward line strategy but we’d entering unprecedented quadruple tower territory

    Agree - I think we want a winger / good outside midfielder as a first priority.  The fact that we didn't go after Phillips or Polec to me suggests we might have our eye on someone in the draft.

    Would also love to see us go after another pressure forward too.

    This. If available, take multiple small forwards. With our current game plan, the game is won and lost in this area.

    I’m usually not too picky but that thread title is crying out for a comma, maybe a full stop or too, some brackets and certainly a question mark

    to the topic -

    quick running back

    winger

    small forward 

    back up ruck- consider mature recruits

    Medium size players needed who can have a combination of at least 2/3 of

    use the ball well

    have pace

    run and carry

    win their own ball

    intercept

    win groundballs/apply pressure 

    hit the scoreboard 

    1 or 2 players always slide, I think 1 from Mcrae, Perkins, Chapman will slide. Wouldn't mind taking one of them with one of Carroll, Powell or Henry with picks 18 and 19.

    Pick 28 best available for our needs if Downie is available then bid for him here

    Quick skilled players - ideally versatile. Get 3 if we can but I'd settle for 2.

    Key defender. We need a May replacement developing ASAP.

    I’ve read it a few times now and think I’m more confused than when I read it the first time.

    I wonder where Oliver would be going if he was in this draft without playing his final year?  Not only is it compromised with the academy picks, they havent played for 12 months+.  Better to be lucky than good. Throw a dart.

    The type of players I would go with the 4 picks are:

    Ruckman

    Small forward

    wingman

    halfback

    Hope we dont waste a pick on a ruckman.    We already have two developing young rucks.

    It will be a mature ruckman.. I would use pick 50. If we get Phillips we won't use 50.

    Ok yeah, I thought you meant another 18 year old ruck. We do need a mature ruckman.

    Hi Werridee, definitely  agree with 3 of those, but why would we accept pick 31 for Preuss, then use pick 18 for a junior ruckman?

     

    edit: sorry just saw the rest of the thread, already answered my question.

    I'm a big fan of Jack Carroll from East Freo @Pennant St Dee. I personally can't see Mcrea last until our picks which is a bummer because he's an enormous talent as well.

    I would be stoked with the Carroll/Perkins Combo.

    Longest thread title ever.

    Another Pickett type and wingman. Must be skilful and pacy.

    Other than that pick the best player available although i do like the suggestion of a KPD. May is no longer a spring chicken.

    No way we need to look at a developing KPD. May is only 28, will probably play another 4 seasons. Plus sides have shown if you're in the window you can easily pluck key position players from other sides who want to chase flags. We've also got Petty developing nicely and is a good size at 197cm.

    We need pace & skill and a cheap back up ruck.

    • 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.
