Then we have Reid. 

Don’t think we will get Darling. Why would he leave?

Agreed, we won't get or want Darling.

    I think we'll be able to find a spot for him in our forward half just quietly.

    McVee May Lever

    Salem Tomlinson Rivers

    Langdon Oliver Hunter 

    Petracca Petty Fritsch 

    Pickett JVR Reid

    Gawn Viney Sparrow

    Brayshaw Neal-Bullen McAdam Bowey

    Smith or Howes for sub.

    Chandler misses out.

    I hope you mean which player, as in there’s 4-5 to choose from.

    2 drafts since the 21 flag, which trade deals have improved our list?

    2021- Dunstan x 5 games retired 

    2022-  Grundy gone,  Schache x 2 games , Hunter only player getting a regular game…

    How has our list improved comparing  this to Collingwood & Brisbane??

    What do these players all have in common?

    None finished in the top 10 of the bluey.

    Hold on that's not the case.

    Having finished 9th last season, Nibbla finished 6th this season.

    Or perhaps don't ever bother to try and understand what the draft is or what it is trying to achieve and pass altogether.

    You may be right, but here's a more complete picture that includes young players who seem to have a future

    21

    Jacob van Rooyen

    Blake Howes

    Taj Woewodin

    22

    Jud McVee

    Andy Moniz-Wakefield

    Schache and Dunstan were never more than depth. Look at the price paid.

    Grundy rucked alone, while Max was injured and it was more Max who failed than Grundy. Grundy was meant to ruck more with Max forward and because Max couldn’t play forward, they wanted Grundy to. That wasn’t the intent of getting him. We got back what we paid, it was 1 year and we move on.

    Plenty of clubs bring in players who don’t consistently make their side. Often they are depth players.

    We certainly have had recent success trading which led to a flag, getting Langdon, May, Lever, BBB, Hibberd and Melksham as examples.

    Likewise not every draftee will be successful.

    It is par for the course, hits and misses. The big hope is that the misses aren’t expensive.

    If you ever want an example of the media BS that is spouted.

    Fox Sports headline about Hawks landing a “star”.

    The star is Chol who struggled to make the Suns side.

    Really, Chol a star?

    Agree our  trades prior to 2021 flag were  great but last 2 seasons have bee misses , let’s hope 2023 brings in talent

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
