Who Will We Get With Pick 4?

Why is Richmond picking up Cale a condition of West Coast trading Mitch? The only party that could impose that condition, and even then it would only be a gentlemans agreement, is West Coast. Mitch is hardly in the position to say 'I'll only go to Richmond if you pick up Cale'. And if WC were pushing this condition, then you could be dead-set certain they are after Cotchin.

l reckon they will take one of the west aussies

i'm starting to hear so much about Masten, that it seems he's clearly the best midfielder after Cotchin and Morton.

if WestCoast dont pick this kid up, we should definitely take him.

runs a beep test of 14.12, springs in under 3 seconds. in the archetypal inside and outside midfielder. is a ball magnet, and a genuine footballer

And apparently he has OP

In that case, I wouldnt tough him with a 20 foot pole

I didn't really want this bloke when I first saw reviews of him, but boy is he warming on him

RHYS PALMER

If we can't get Cotchin, then this is our bloke

At 14 I would love Alex Rance, but would settle for either Henderson, Grant or McEvoy

We have all identified the holes in our list, one was a ruckman, we now have 3 young ruckman and White, we have two years for Jamar, PJ and Meesen to step up to be our No1 Ruck.

Secondly are two key post CHf and CHB, do we look at Rance and Henderson

And last we need skillfull, fast midfielders to complement our hard young midfielders we have now. I think pick 4 should be used to get depending who is avaliable one of Palmer, Masten, Ebert, Cotchin or Morton all see to fit what we need. IMO this is the way to go get one of these guys, I will leave it to CAC and Bailey to decide.

In all honesty and i know i will be crucified for saying this, they will be looking to draft a CHB as we already have a CHF in miller. Now dont get me wrong i dont think miller is anything special, but bailey clearly sees something in him, he's the coach, thus my deduction skills then suggest that we will be after a CHB not a CHF.

If everything goes perfectly we will end up with- 4 cotchin

14 Rance

As someone who has never seen any of these players before I couldn't give an informed opinion on who we should draft. Suffice to say, I back CAC's judgment, so will be excited with whoever we get.

Unfortunately we have holes everywhere (Full back, full forward, CHF, quick outside midfielder, ruck) so I don't imagine we will fill them all with this draft. However, it is generally harder to find KPPs than midfielders, so I would be rapt if we fixed our spine in this draft and left the midfield for the next draft. I'm not saying we should go out of our way to draft big players, but rather that I hope the big players are the ones that are the best available when it comes to our picks. If they aren't, we should go for the midfielders.

Brett Ratten was just on SEN and stated they are split 2/2 on whether they should take Kruezer or Cotchin with Pick 1.

Like hell they are. I don't believe him for a second, especially with Carlton's attrocious ruck stocks.

If you were Carlton why would you get anything other than Kreuzer? They need a ruckman! They have an absolute two handful of midfielders, i heard it also mate but i think its just being said to take away the fact that its the kreuzer cup.

If Carlton took Cotchin and Richmond seem like they will take Cale Morton, which would the Eagles take out of Palmer or Kruezer? And we would get the one they didn't take. Looks pretty good for us either way. Hopefully Rance is still around at 14, and McEvoy/Henderson at 21.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
