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

I'll never turn down elite midfield talent

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

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.

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

Thanks for your input 

@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...

 

Zane Duursma will be high on our draft board.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
