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: 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.
