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

    @Demons11 has had pretty good mail in the past. We understand some things change and there's always lots of moving pieces. At least you don't do riddles...

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • 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.
