Just imagine this:

F: Robertson, Neitz, Williams

HF: Davey, Newton, Yze

Williams would be a massive addition to our side. He is in the Russell Robertson mould and kicked 63 goals in 2005. Sure, he had a knee injury this year but if anything that makes him cheaper to get. What if we got pick 14 or 8 for Johnston and on-traded to Hawthorn for Mark Williams??

I know it's not a Robertson vs Williams debate, but I think it's a case of the 'ol marginal utility - having one is great, but adding a second one isn't quite as good.

I was under the impression he was under contract. If not, how would he slip to pick 3? Even with a stuffed knee the tiggies and Carltank would give him a go.

What sort of price would be on his head? 200k per year? I would rather not pay him that, and save the forwardline spot for a developing newton/dunn/ garland type.

Besides, we have 3 top 25 picks, one of them could be a forward.

I think it's imperative that Newton is played at CHF. If we see him as a replacement for Neitz, or a CHF, we cannot protect him in a pocket because with Neitz and Robertson right next to him, he'll never see it.

He will have no room and he won't develop. You may aswell play him at Sandy.

Newton has to be given first crack at CHF in 2008.

His knee issue aside, I'd look at him if I didn't think that he is only capable of playing a lead and mark type role.

We don't need anymore marking forwards, we need crumbing forwards and forwards who can apply pressure on the opposition when the ball hits the ground.

He might be small, but much like Robbo, he plays as a tall leading forward. He'll make our forward line too one-dimensional.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
