Now that John Meesen has been acquired for pick 37, we will definitely have our pick 3 in the Pre-Season Draft available to use on another player.

Who would everyone like to see us pick up? Know of any uncontracted players who might do the PSD shuffle? Any up and coming 2nd tier leaguers (VFL, WAFL, SANFL) who may be worth a punt? Post your thoughts here.

    Would we have to take Valenti in the PSD if we want him?

    I think I have heard people suggest he could be rookie drafted, no? If we can get him as a rookie I would rather do that first, but seeing him in Sandy's best most weeks would probably be enough for me to see the man taken in the PSD.

    Has a deal been struck with Damon White yet? The other name mentioned (whose contract status I'm unsure of) is Ben McKinley from West Coast.

    Brennan?

    obviously if we were in the race for judd we have the $$$$

    if he is available at pik three of pre season draft.. could we somehow have a chin wag with him and get him on board?

    Good shout Goose. I read somewhere that Essendon might be trying to get him in a trade or the PSD. We would be mad not to try and steal in before them and snatch him up. I think Essendon were offering $300k per season though... Would we pay that much for an erratic forward?

    Essendon would be rather miffed, although they and Mal Michael did very much shaft Brisbane last year. If they tried essentially the same trick again I'm sure Brisbane at least would enjoy them getting a backhander.

    Both Damon White and McKinley are contracted players.

    As for Brennan, he didn't show up for the Lions B&F, and can't be contacted. Sounds like Sean Charles reincarnated. Don't touch him.........

    A massively engorged 'NO' to Jared Brennan. If we're getting rid of TJ for off-field reasons, why would we pick up an absolute clown who has played fewer than five good career games and makes Johnstone look like Mother Teresa?

    Engorged... well in that case we better forget him. I know he's a loose cannon, but surely he's young enough that if somebody gets into his head he could be turned around. I suppose you could argue that if Leigh Matthews can't, then who can. Huh.

    i think our best bet is to pick up a player like Moran from tha kangas...he is a proming young ruckman and would be a steal in the psd.

    also known that we are interested in him.

    then we can delist jamar, and have White, Meeson, PJ and Moran as our 4 ruckman. with white close to retirement and PJ showing he is a more than capable backup ruckman, that leave us with 2 highly rated and talented developing ruckman to take over White eventually.

    remember people, that if we dont pick up guyz like Meeson and Moran we're gonna have to waste plenty of draft picks trying to find White's replacement. better off finding his replacemnet thru the psd

    Jamar won't be delisted. He just signed a 2 year deal.

    it was speculated he was offered a contract...clearly MFC would wait to see what happens during trade week before finalizing any contract.

    hasnt confirmed signed yet

    my thoughts exactly, id love to get bolton from sydney in the PSD but if he did go there tigers and blues would get him first, we have pick 3 so we will get the 3rd best player available, both tigers and blues have room in their salary cap too.

  • Quote

    I mean we dont have to use it... but you just never know who might end up there.. ought to have a better idea at 2.01 pm (F) :)

    Just mentioned on Channel 10 news that Carlton are trying to entice Brisbanes defender Josh Drummond into the PSD by offering him a 3 year, $1,000,000 contract

    Where are they getting this money from?

    ANyways, we should be able to get a pretty good player at number 3 considering everyone who is out of contract

    Simon godfrey with pick 3! (kidding)

    Two names for PSD

    TODD GRIMA - Get around him. Being one of his good mates i say pick the boy up. He was well in the mix for the VFL team of the year and he will add height and also enthusiasm to the team. Mark my words people he will be a star. Bails you have to go after him. Well after talking to Todd apparently we are after him but GO HARDER BAILS. What do you guys think.

    The other is Jude Bolton. Come on why wouldnt we want him.

    2008 - The year of the Demon. ;)

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
