pick4- Cotchin, Palmer, Masten or McEvoy

pick14- Rioli, Collier, Myers or any top10er that slips through

pick21- Selwood, Gourdis, or any first rounder that slips through.

We MUST take best available player, however 1 of the top3 picks needs to be a key position player, and atleast 1 needs to be a quality midfeidler midfielder (i.e. not a flanker).

psd pick3- Brennan (unlikely), Jude Bolten (unlikely) or Fergus Watts

rookie- Valenti

    Pick 4 will be one of Palmer or Cotchin.

    As I said in another post, hopefully one of Henderson or Rance slip to 14 so we can pick up a first-round KPP as well to get some balance while playing to the rules of 'best available' as well.

    chuck in luke casey-leigh at around 53. He is an athletic type developing as a ruckman or tall forward/back. i heard their was a small piece about him in the age and it said that kreuzer was almost BOG in everygame exept for against the sandy dragons where casey-leigh was his opponent

    Yes Casey-Leigh is athletic but is very scared out on the field, timid in contests and will get smashed against grown men. His best game happened to be vs Kreuzer hence the State Screening nomination, but after seeing him a few times throughout the year I am convinced that he is not good enough for AFL.

    Would prefer a Jared Boumann who is 196cm and can run 20 metres in 2.86 sec, put his head over the ball, play both ends and pinch hit in the ruck, was showing some real improvement by the end of the year and will only get better and will be great value late in draft. West Coast keen on him I hear.

    Hugh Sandilands isnt related to Freo's giant but is another modern day athletic footballer who was very impressive as a key back throughout the year, school captain and could be great as a 3rd tall defender in the backline. Provides a lot of run and drive off hbf and thats what we need.

    thanks for that information about luke casey-leigh. i used to go to school with him but havent seen him play since then. his dad used to be on the richmond board i think so that should be interesting but i would love to see him in the melbourne colours.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
