trade Miller while he holds some allure ...for god knows what reason...to someone. Yes maybe he might fit a round hole on some other teams teamshett coz he's just a square peg in our s !! just a reality.

Anyone who considered Miller a possible captain at anytime needs to have a good think about what captaincy is really all about.. he was never on any real list surely!!

Try as he may..he just doesnt add anything of any real value to the teams performance. Not enough nouse to play back... no goal sense to play forward.. unsuited to middle.. Call me daft ( as many will ) there just isnt a spot for him. Was prepared to aloow him time to grow into some possie ( big of me huh ) ...but he's simply failed. why cant some get their heads arond this..its nothing personal..its just business..Football business..the business of winning.

But wait there's more...he's not alone. Others will simply 'retire' or be convinced to do so. Some will simply pester the list til they do. Then we have a very awkward situation with players like Moloney. Yes by all means give him another year to come good ( hey its not smy money!! ) then if he hasnt come up...like a racehorse ( no..nt suggesting shooting ) just put to pasture. The cold hard reality ...is players on on the list to play, if for WHATEVER reason this isnt happening then they must make way, thats just what has to happen.

    IMO we need a huge clean out and need to rebuild, our list doesn't have enough depth and has too many players hitting 30 and beyond. If we want to keep up with the future , with clubs like the hawks, carlton etc. we must rebuild or our premiership drought will continue. We can't just have a one year bomb out, like the bombers have. We already have a great bunch of younsters coming through, but at the moment our spine isn't very strong.

    I reckon if we want to win a flag we must delist/trade those players who some people think are good,but actually aren't e.g Miller, Godfrey, Ferguson, Holland, Ward, Brown etc. We will/should pick up someone in the draft at 1,2 or 3 this year and next year if we bomb out and get ourselves a priority pick we will have 2 players in the top 5. With the help of CAC and perhaps a new coach we will/should be able to win a flag.

    Just quietly, I think the other 15 AFL list management guys are going to read your post and discover that - surprisingly for them - guys like Godfrey and Miller aren't that good :P

    Thus we're not going to get much in trades.

    I agree with you re: our young kids - both that they look good and that we lack some bankable KPP options for the future.

    Yeah that is the reality, but hopefully we can build up some trade value for those 'fringe' type players.

    And lets hope those other 15 AFL list management guys don't discover my post

    • 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.
