:lol: pretty sure clint bartram is a current clint bartram, don't think a player who has played for one year can be looked at as bringing the cornerstone for future players at a contemporary level

MELBOURNE – KYLE CHENEY

North Ballarat Rebels, VIC, Medium defender, August 25 1989, 184.6cm, 86.2kg

Cheney looms as a fascinating player in this draft. There has been some speculation he could be taken as early as No.33 by Port Adelaide and he has also been linked with West Coast, but the Eagles are out of the meeting by pick No.22. Melbourne looms as Cheney's most likely destination with one of its later choices. It may opt to select him at No.53, but otherwise it should be able to claim him here. Cheney is rated by some recruiters as one of the top prospects to have come through the state-based screenings this year.

Awful last name, I'll be refering to him as KC for the rest of his career.

Just can't stand D!ck.

Let's get busy, KC.

Sounds good.

If you don't like Dick Cheney then don't even bother about checking out the Jack Grimes who infests the American political scene. Just be glad that that our versions are playing football.

By the sounds of CAC, he may be the next Nathan Brown/Matthew Whelan whom I would be happy with. When I read he was a medium defender I was a bit disappointed (as we already have Bell, CJ, Petterd, Bartram, etc.) but reading about his hardness has changed my mind.

When we think about it, we have just lots of 2 running defenders in Brown and Ward. Whelan is slowing down due to injuries and only has a year or 2 left. CJ will never mate the grade imho. Pettard and Bartram and both expected to move into the midfield in the next year or 2.

Bell, of coarse, is an absolute gun.

So a hard nosed small defender in the mould of Matthew Whelan is actually quite useful if we look 2 years into the future!!!

Cheney becomes a Demon by Matthew Hillard

MELBOURNE Football Club officials have told Warracknabeal's Kyle Cheney to relax today and tomorrow before he embarks on a professional football career on Wednesday.

The Demons selected Cheney at pick number 53 in Saturday's AFL draft. They want him in Melbourne on Wednesday but the 18-year-old is still grasping the life-changing fact.

Family and friends gathered at Cheney's Warracknabeal home on Saturday morning as the draft commenced.

Nervously they waited as 52 player names were called out; 53 proved to be the magic number.

"All the family was there and a big cheer went up when my name was called out," Cheney said.

"But it still hasn't sunk in. I had a few mates around our house and some family and friends last night, but I'm still trying to get over it."

Kyle's father Michael said the family was now busily preparing for their youngest son's departure on Wednesday. "It's a huge thing, and we're all sort of trying to come to terms with it," Mr Cheney said.

"Kyle's a good level-headed kid, he keeps everything pretty much under wraps, even though there was a lot of expectation put on him.

"But getting down there will be an eye-opener for him; he'll probably realise he's one of them once he's there."

Hey, maybe he'll be the next Kyle Cheney?

When asked to explain MFC's draft strategy CAC replied:

"We'll take the best red-head that's available at the time"

B)

I thought we were meant to be the Redlegs not the Red-heads?

Just joking, best of luck to the boy. Hope he turns out to be a decent smoky pick.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
