Why dont we tell valenti to nominate for the draft (which he will) and pick him up with pick 43. We all knowhe can play

i dont know he can play!

he will struggle at afl level, was good when ward and pickett were the main focus at sandy but struggled in finals with attention! he will be a good vfl player! but maybe give him a chance at rookie!

Poor old VFL and the stigma it carries.

Remember, Priddis and Lynch were in the WAFL before WCE picked them up.

Westhoff aswell in the SANFL.

Give this blokes a go, can't be much worse than what C.Johnson has shown.

Also, he is behind Bell, Petterd, Whelan, Wheatley, Bode etc.

Maybe a change of club will give him a better crack.

I'd take pick 42 for CJ without hesitation. I wish the guy no ill, but he has shown little to suggest he will be an AFL standard player, and his trade value will be zero next year if not offloaded now.

Exactly

No hesitation

Then give Dean Bailey the oppourtunity to use pick 42 on the type of player he wants

FFS Jaded, if we trade him, Dean Bailey traded him - wake up and join the dots!

I have no issue with trading CJ, it's what we are allegedly trading him for that I'm not happy with!

I hope we get something better than a fourth round pick, as I think CJ's value at Melbourne is higher than that.

Isn't pick 43 in the third round not the fourth?

Conflicting reports that we're trading him for pick 50 something may have confused me.

43 is still a very speculative pick.

We gave Adelaide 37 for a ruckman whos played 2 games, and who we could have taken for nothing in the PSD.

I just don't think we're likely to pick anything better with 43. There's always a chance, but how often does a Bartram fall through the cracks these days?

1. CJ's done sfa

2. Your rating of CJ is based on the proposal that Dean Bailey can extract improvement

3. if Dean Bailey trades him for a 3rd rounder then that's what he thinks he is worth to us or less

Every year, every year there are players picked late in the draft that out perform early picks.

Maybe it is being earmarked for another trade.

CAC is a genius with late draft picks....

Rivers, Whelan, Bartram, Bruce, Newton and of course Davey in PSD

So I am actually a little excited about collecting all these picks, no matter how late they are in the draft

Can't disagree with point one.

I think we're all hoping that Bailey can extract improvement out of our players, otherwise why did we get him to the club?

As for point 3, I disagree with Bailey if he thinks that a 3rd round pick in the hand is better than CJ. Doesn't mean I won't support him, and I definitely won't cry myself to sleep over it.

I guess I see a lot of potential in CJ and given that we're persisting with less talented players who have been given more opportunities, it seems odd that we'd let CJ go for a low pick. We would get better picks for both Miller and Jamar.

Maybe Bailey is also of the belief that CJ is terribly soft.

I like to imagine CJ will be the next Demon late developer, like Carroll (not in team, then good average) or Bell (not in team, then good good).

From what I can gather he'll be competing for the spots vacated by Brown and Ward on the one hand and possibly TJ's on the other.

Actually, I know this is the wrong thread for this thought, but the TJ trade looks a lot more positive when you consider that it's not just pick 14, but also an opportunity for players like Buckley and CJ to find their way into the team.

We'll see what comes around.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
