Lord Travis, what is the farm? Would you do picks 4, 18, 23, F1st? Would you do 4, 18 and JvR as that past WCE player put up. Maybe 4 and trade for the GCS pick and offer up both?

I personally would do the first although possibly overpaying, and the second I would do whatever I could to not give up JvR but maybe 4 and JvR if they put their foot down?  You see a lot of the youngsters and this draft is heavily compromised, with few good mids. 

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. No way jvr is part of the conversation for the no 1 pick. I don’t care how good this Reid kid.

    With Reid, Tracc, Viney, Sparrow, Oliver, Gawn & Grundy bullocking through the centre, we won't need a forward line. /sarcasm

    Tracc and Reid waxing mid/forward.

    With the Ruinatior and Jefferson prowling inside 50 with koz at their feet.

    Yes please.

    Why trade a potential gem KPP to get a mid? Computer says no, I don't care how good Reid is.

    champ highlights

     

    To be fair, you could choose a lot of players out of the under 18 championships and create a highlight video that makes them look like the best [censored] player out there. 
     

    Reid is a jet, but player highlight reels are hardly ever pragmatic!
    A lot of opportunities for applying some mayonnaise.

    I think we'd be crazy to at least not attempt to trade up for Harley.

    Imagine a starting midfield unit of Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Petracca and Reid 💦

    Not only are you picking up another tough country lad (Tongala special) who doesn't take a backward step, but you're planning life after Petracca and Viney. Oliver is still only 25 so still has years left to form a good combination going forward.

    What this also mean is that this adds more years to Petracca longevity in the game.

    This will give Petracca the opportunity to spend his last few years as a dangerous forward and not the crash and bash midfielder. 

    Do it Jason Taylor and Tim Lamb!

    Harley Reid is having a run with the Essendon VFL side up on the Gold Coast against Southport.

    The Bombers have not been enjoying much of a season but lead last year’s runners up by 8 points at half time. Young Harley leads his team in Dream Team Points and is equal first for them in possessions with 14. That’s not bad but let’s see if he can stay at that level for the full game.

    Sorry for being pedantic, but Clarry turned 26 last month.

    Oh hell, let's just give the Eagles our best 22 players for Reid he and the leftovers should be enuff to beat anyone.

    Surely, the commentator should have said "put that on a showreel already"? Not a stamp. A stamp? Who uses stamps anymore, ya nuffas.

    There's stamps with pictures of hangers on them?

    Probably the only way maxy gets on a stamp then - as the player getting his head jumped on!

    If and it’s a big if, the Eagles win another game, you can forget Reid.

    That settles it. You can't have Flyin' Ryan and Rocketing Reid going up for the same mark every time. It would be chaos. Better trade that pick and be done with it.

    The Freo or Adelaide games are the only chance, but they'll want pick 1, so no chance really.

    Would probably save us from ourselves if it were the case.
    Could easily live to regret parting with the requisite picks once the potential is realised for the eagles.

    So you wouldn't go after Reid, mate? And if you would, what would you be prepared to part with?

    Blimey.

    I thought he was a forward?

    Looks like the bont with his skills in the middle.

    A bit like Danger but with good foot skills.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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.

      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?
