A elite key forward is an amazing luxury, but elite mids will always be more valuable. JJ, Sparrow etc are great but we need to plan for a future after Trac and Oliver

    Add on 3+ years of developing the high-pick mid/forward and they're 30+ and 28+

    Can anyone who has access let me know what this is about? It's probably nothing we don't already know but I am intrigued

    Just mentions us having Freo's first and second round pick. Nothing new or exciting.

    We have defensive and forward recruits... This year we should top up on mids.

    I think we need another young key forward and Kozzie type and then mids or best available.

    We will need more than JVR and Jefferson, if he makes it, as key forwards.

    Hopefully the Kozzie type becomes a little less important, after the original signs a long term contract extension with us.

    You could never have enough Kozzie’s, Red.

    Agree.

    Wishlist would include: 

    1. Mid/fwd
    2. Skillful mid who can play inside/wing/flanks
    3. Ruc/fwd

    We have enough small fwds given Chandler's development - assuming we retain Pickett that is. But maybe Nick Watson is too good if available?

    I’m not sure if there is a right or wrong but I’d hate for us to be linked to someone and it was telegraphed in April.

  • Quote

    I definitely think we will look at bundling up multiple first round picks this year and next year and trying to inject some top end midfield talent 

    I rate our developing keys in Jefferson and Van Rooyen. i am really optimistic what they will become 

    salary cap permitting i'd have a very serious look at Ben Mckay as a long term replacement for Steven May to extend our window

    Agreed. How many good KPFs in this year's crop that would go top 10? And are there any Kozzy types that are gettable with our likely picks? @Pennant St Dee @IvanBartul13 @ChaserJ @spirit of norm smith @Chelly

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
