Trading next year's is fine with Kalani and Tarion Ah-Mu coming then. Keep this year's though

    I like the ‘ca’t’ which both perfectly describes Ralph’s journalism and Richo’s English.

    We need to add quality mature or maturing players. There’s no doubt about that.

    But we’ve completely botched our window as a destination club and made a huge mess of the list.

    We shouldn’t be afraid of using the draft for high end quality and finding the right mature guys without selling the farm.

    The focus has to be on adding quality pieces of the puzzle at the right price. I have zero faith in this list management/scouting team to do that.

    I heard him say that and wasn’t impressed. We’ve now likely got pick 6, perhaps pick 5. If that’s not a top shelf youngster or an A grade mid under 25 then I’ll be disappointed.

    It’s been said a million times before but this is self preservation, nothing more and nothing less.

    We don’t need experience, we need high quality

    Tim Lamb and Alan Richardson are both recipe for disaster for this footy club.

    Let's just see shall we? Houston cooled because we refused to pay two first rounders.

    I'd be staggered if we don't take our 2024 first rounder to the draft.

    Having already lost Jordon and Harmes, and now with ANB leaving, we certainly need to restock on strong, reliable mid-tier players who know their roles. That's a vital ingredient that we need to get right.

    Bold prediction, sadly unless they work out how to cryo-freeze humans we will never know.

    I’d love to ask the question to the Tigers about Nick Vlastuin. Will be 31 starting next year and has two years left on his contract. Could we get him out of there for a late second round pick? If we can’t get Houston, he would be a fantastic addition. Great ball user, great one on one and an excellent intercept mark.

    I was actually thinking about the Tigs list if there's anyone we could pry out.

    Taranto went there chasing a flag and won't be keen on full rebuild. 

    I'd be asking the question of him as well.

    Has that been reported? I've only read that we were the sole Melbourne based team willing to offer two firsts.

    Thank god Houston appears to have saved us from ourselves.

    Taranto is a pass in my books. Continuously butchers the ball and fades in and out of games. After Baker, Bolton and Rioli leave, there isn’t a huge amount left to pick at.

    Where’s Baker going?

    Either WC or Freo. He wants to head back home to WA.

    or the fringe players - yr tholstrup's, spargo's, laurie's, pup's of the world - need to develop into those roles

    Dees need to focus on skills and pace through the midfield.

     I don’t think that Riv and McVee are the answer.  They are excellent across our defence and should stay there.  You don’t rob your strengths to try to fix other gaps.  
     

    two steps 

    1. Recruit one mature player ready to go in the midfield.  Peatling for example would be an excellent addition.  
     

    2. use this year 2024 draft to see at least three quality midfielders… this years draft is super strong

    No, I'm speculating, but I can guarantee you he didn't cool because of Trac.

    Peatling for a future pick and  then use pick 5/6 on another midfielder sounds like a good start

    Spargo needs to step into ANB’s shoes over summer.

    Chandler is a better option. We need a goal kicking HFF.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
