Which trades would we consider?

Isn’t it wonderful to be in the position now, where we are generally very comfortable about our current team. 
 

My only doubt would be about our players getting a older. Specifically, Hibbert’s stopping role, although that can be filled by our immediate reserves. 
 

Listening to SEN post the granny, the talk is filled with other teams ideas about how they improve their lists. Virtually none of them would improve our list. Clearly, we must not be complacent and fortunately no-one at the club appears to be that, but we also appear to be ever wishing to improve.

Your thoughts?

    Firstly there should be a Forum trading period - any poster who cannot spell a premiership players name gets traded to GCS.

    Hibbert really?  Its Hibbard, hubbard hippo ah fruit cake.  You know who i mean.

    I think we need key position - lucky for may to get through with a torn hammie

    We have some extraordinary talents residing in our lists - youthful, keen, capable of learning (quickly), ready for an opportunity. Thus, it is difficult to consider how we can improve our lot; largely, it should be from our younger players who mostly reside at Casey. Perhaps, this coming season, recruitment is not as important as it has been in the past.

    I agree on Hibberd mellowing somewhat but also, TMac has noticeably shied from the competitive edge that he has displayed - particularly against other 'top sides'. We have some possible replacements for both of these journey-men of the MFC. A key CHF (in the old terms) would be a handy pickup should Tom not get back to his best. 

    Not really expecting a great deal from the recruits as presented for the up-coming round of argy-bargy. If we are going to create a dynasty of the Demon, we'd most probably be better served by retaining and intensifying further development of the tickled red 'n blue genome from amongst all of our astutely selected and obtained youth. These players are really a potent lot already bricking the foundations of the Club's medium-term potentials.

    Cerra wants out of Fremantle, could we get a deal done? 

    I'm reliably told by those in the know that we can't get the deal done. While he was considering us, Carlton are now in the box seat as they are the only one that can get it done with their pick 6.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
