It we are not going to win the big 1, we might as well come last and get the 1st pick. Pre-Season first pick could be a great blackmail card , if we have the balls to use it properly. We got stitched up with Farmer, and were soft with White, which from memory we gave Freo pick 2 for, and picked up Shanahan with the PSD pick 1.

    we wont come last. but if we keep this up a top 3 or 4 draft pick beckons. I would like someone with a normal kicking action, unlike Jones and Bate.

    I'll take an accountable skilled ruckman thanks. I would like a clone of Dean Cox.

    My second preference is a Tom Hawkins-type meat and vegetables bustling KPP forward.

    can a team trade an uncontracted player if he'd prefer to go in the draft? if not, just offer him the money and ignore west coast, he can then just nominate for the draft. i think he mgiht try and get something for WC though, id be happy to trade a 1st and 2nd rounder for him...

    A player has to agree to the trade for it to go ahead (Re: Ferguson for Sewell :angry: ) ala Nick Stevens ending up at Carlton.

    Well i have my eyes on Matt Kreuzer. I have watched him play. A very good tap ruckman. Doesent punch the ball hard to his teams end but has a good relationship with the midfielders and is able to tap to advantage. Very similar to Brendon Lade and of similar height. He can also play forward and has kicked a few goals. He cant play back but as said i rate this guy a lot. I think he will get picked before 2nd round so we need to snatch him and personally i prefer is we bottom out. Whats the point is trying to make a run for the finals when we aint going to make it and then have a chance at losing priority picks. Lets get set for 2009 and give neitz and white the best send off they could imagain.

    • 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?
